@charlie123 Hasn’t arrived yet. However, I have no complaints with the AR which has mostly been used with a Pass Labs amp. Just trying something different.
@avanti1960 I’ve read the opposite in most posts. Not sure what to say.
New Rogue RP-7 Preamp
I just ordered a Rogue RP-7, arriving in about 2 weeks. My plan is to use it with a new Bryston cubed amp. I've never actually heard this pairing, but have read elsewhere that this is a good sonic match. My goal is to add just a bit of the tube sound to the system, although it's said that this pre rides the line between SS and tube sound. In any case, just to take a bit of the SS edge off. This pre is also to replace an AR LS17SE that I really like, but it's time to try something new and the Rogue fits the bill for now.
I'd love to hear any comments or experience with this pairing from the folks here. Thanks.

@charlie123 If you're still interested, I've had the RP-7 warming up for a few days. Running the stock tubes. I think the Rogue trounces the LS17SE in most areas. Detail, bass, clarity, dynamics are all very good. Hearing much deeper into the music than with the ARC. I do think the ARC has a wider soundstage. However that could be related to the Rogue's tubes. The RP-7 is a keeper. |
