Comments on Rogue Preamps?


I am currently shopping around for a tube pre-amp under $2000. I have heard some good things about the rogue pre-amps. I will be driving Magnepan speakers with an Odyssey Stratos Amp. Can anyone with a Rogue comment on satisfaction level. Thanks.

Here are a couple of suggestions. I own a pair of the Odyssey monoblocks and they are truly wonderful. I am using a Stan Warren passive pre-amp and it is incredible. You may be able to talk Stan into building you one. He is is "S" in the former PS Audio. He is a great guy to deal with. He has built this unit for me along with a modded Pioneer 525 DVD player. I am very happy with the results.His phone number is (541)344-3696. If you are not interested in a passive pre-amp call Klaus and ask him about the Tempest pre-amp. I think these options are far better than Rogue for a lot less money.
Leafs,
I have to reply to you statement "stay away from passives you won't be happy". If I felt that way I would never have given this unit a try. Stan Warren built a single DACT buffer passive pre-amp that I compared side to side with a AI Modulus L1 and it won hands down. This is the purest way to pass the signal on. Some people may not like it, but you cannot judge all passives the same. Once you have heard a very good one, then you will know....
