Creek Destiny or Rogue Cronus Magnum?


What is your opinion as to which has the best overall sound?
That's it. Which would you listen to for hours, perhaps years with a smile on your face and not think about anything but the music? This may be a bit of apples and oranges, but I am only interested in the overall sound for the long run.
Thank you. I look forward to your opinion.

Alright a month late. But I may be of some help. Certainly it matters more what your speakers are than these two amps.

The Creek Destiny is a very very good little integrated for the money. Running Harbeth P3ESR with them it was a very very good match. It is simply a very transparent amp that is quite musical and could get the current behind the little Harbeths and make them sing, wonderfully might I add.

The Rogue is a Push-Pull tube amp and will sound as such. Warm - Forward - Punchy - Tube Sweetness. A horrible match for the Harbeth I am sure (Harbeth likes a more laidback amp) but an awesome match for my current Zu Omen Defs.
I am getting my Rogue in the mail tomorrow. Give me a few weeks and I will have a comparison for you.

My current thoughts are that in this case: if you have to ask you are off on the wrong foot my friend. Regroup - get some knowledge. This looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

Email me if you'd like.
