I have a Rogue audio Pharaoh integrated amp with built in MM/MC phono stage. It is a good phono stage, but the Schiit Mani out performs it. Can't comment on the Rogue stand alone phono pre, as I have not heard it.
Dream/upgrade list: rogue ares
Current tables/equipment:
Pioneer (silver) pl600 w/an audio technica cartridge
Uturn orbit w/ortofon 2m blue
(2) schiit mani phono preamps
I listen to a lot of jazz (cool, hardbop, big band) and 70s rock (floyd, yes, eagles..orig lineup)
I have read reviews about the rogue (magnum), but at what point would my tables have to be upgraded to make proper use of the rogue? Multiple pieces, but I wasn't sure what the best upgrade path was.
Right now, this is just planning. But I do love analog/albums and tube equipment
