I have had two chinooks. very reliable, Never had any issues with either.
If you can stretch your budget to 3500, would suggest you pick up a used VTL TP 6.5 series 1. Super excellent sounding phono stage.
Looking for a tube phono pre
Looking for a tube phono pre in the 2500 to 3k price range. Currently running a Sutherland Insight LPS. Using a PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated and VPI Prime scout with Hana ML. I have a Chinook on order at Upscale but they are dragging their feet and I have read some reliability issue post with the Chinooks, so I can cancel the order. Anyone compare the Rogue to a Chinook? Thanks
