I'm a 502 owner and I love the damn thing, I have MC gear and a CJ with similar wattage but there is something about that amp that I always go back to. It's always been a toss up to me b/t the poor man's MC dynaco mkiis and the jolida 502. Something about them that I just can't quit.
Jolida Integrated or Rogue Integrated MAgnus Cronus II
So...here we are, me being a tube amp "Rookie" and the question which Integrated the Rogue Cronus Magnus II or one of the Jolida's between 60 and 70 Watts.....You tell me please, do not let me steer wrong!
I have a limited budget, considered the Primaluna, however the phone amp issue detracted me form it and yes, I understand they run at lower voltages that extend tube life and are less stressful, have "Auto Bias" and a plethora of tube options.....tell me who sounds better. That is all I want to know, I want Soundstage, I want to be engulfed and just buried in music when I play Mike Oldfields's "Tubular Bells" with sound..... Thanks!
