Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it?


Rogue Electronics has just released a new integrated amp called "the Sphinx" Retail is $1295. Remote is $100 extra(which is a stupid policy) It is a 100RMS, and has a few useful features like an MM phono stage and balance control, headphone jack. Some of Rogue's past, and still current pieces have received very good reviews. I would be interested to hear from memebers who have auditioned this new IA, and how it compares to other IA under $2000. Thanks

I've one owned a rogue amp merely from reading wonderful reviews on the net, the guys from rogue maybe great guys, but it was truly not my cup of tea..also its very difficult to partner with gears from other manufacturers..thank god i manage to get rid of the amp, nevertheless the built quality was superb, heavy and machined like a tank.
Interesting Thegoodarcher. I haven't had any difficulty matching my Stereo 90 Super Magnum with other gear. What other gear were you pairing it with? Also, what amp did you have? The integrated asked about here is the hybrid Sphinx, not an all-tube design.

I have read on other forums that fans of the all-tube Rogue grar didn't like the hybrids as much. But in terms of speaker matching (crucial), I think that the hybrid designs may make more sense with Maggies.
"also its very difficult to partner with gears from other manufacturers.."

I've owned Rogue gear and read five years worth of reviews and posts on forums and this is the first time I've read this. I'll never tell you you're wrong because this is your finding but it's far from my experience.

That being said if I was in the market for tubes at this stage in my life I would look no farther than Octave.
