ASL hurricane vs rogue 150 vs conradjohnson 140


Has anyone compare the above amps? ASL probably is least reliable but can they best rogue 150 & CJ 140 as far as base control and sound quality?

His "Extreme" Hurricanes are very likely what you're after. The new V-caps are extraordinary (I have them in a Response Audio-modded preamp). The "Extreme" mods are a total makeover and all reliability issues in the stock unit are addressed as well. I'm having Bill mod a pair of stock 805-based SET monoblocks in similar fashion, so impressed am I with his preamp mods. I have custom loudspeakers with Focal and PHL drivers (including the Audiom TD-5 tweeter which preceeded the Beryllium model) and have found that they have seemingly unlimited musical potential. Your loudspeakers will amaze you with amplification of similar quality. I had Rogue 120 Magnums in my system a few years back and found them pleasing, but too slow and "tubey" for my taste. Never heard CJ amps.

Best wishes with whatever choice you make.
