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!

Two totally different sounding animals. I tune both of them. When you say "Tubular Bells" I think Jolida 1501 all day long. Get the 1501, take off the top cover, put it up on tuning blocks, low mass power cord, Picasso Type2 interconnect and float away. Personally I like the 1501 (tuned) more than the 502.
