Pre amp replacement?? Help
I would say look for a preamp without phono. If you get serious about using your TT, there are plenty of good lower cost phono preamps. Again just my opinion based on your budget.  
Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?
Maybe I missed above, has anyone compared sound quality of using the preferred full balanced cable hook vs RCA to XLR cable or adapter?  My Rogue RP 5 pre only offers RCA main outs. Yes, I could purchase the RP- 7 , but that’s quite a bit more cash 
Dear Audiogon,
All I see are USA Tube Audio ads everywhere 
Rogue RP 1 or Super Magnum 99
Stereo5, just curious why you sold the RP-5? 
NuForce STA 200
I've had my STA200 for over a year now and I still love it. I have it pared with a Rogue tube RP5 with a Schiit SYS in between to cut the gain. As I said before, I originally got the amp as an "in between" amp. However, I still am in no hurry to u...

Thanks for invite. People must love the amp...not may used (or they return them quickly after purchasing). I'm hoping, after new year, to try one in my system. I have to say, my NuForce STA200 is sooo good as I have everything dialed in great. How... 
Passive or Active Pre- Amp for Nuforce STA200
I had to install a passive attenuator between my Rogue RP-5 and NuForce STA200 since my Zu Omen Defs are 101 db efficient. The tube hiss from the Rogue was a bit much for my taste. Now, when I was using my Project PreBox s2 as the pre (when Rogue ...
