New Rouge Dragon amplifier

I have the BC Ref 600’s currently driving a pair of Spendor A7’s. I have ordered a Rogue DragoN from Taylor at Goldprint which should be ready after the first of the year, so if any of you remain interested I’ll provide my thoughts on how they compare at that time. In the meantime, those Bel Canto’s continue to sound sweet! Currently listening to Melody Gardot’s Sunset in the Blue. Soooo good!

Well, the Rogue DragoN finally arrived and should be broken in by now. Worth the wait, yes. Having had the Bel Canto Ref600M’s for quite a while, those who still doubt what these novel amps are capable of are missing out in my opinion, but I am sure others will disagree, and that’s fine. To each his own I say. I now have the Rogue paired with Spendor Classic 2/3’s, also purchased from Taylor at Goldprint, and suffice it to say the combination is a very good one. Installing a pair of NOS Brimar 12AU7’s in the DragoN didn’t hurt either. Time to sit back and enjoy the music, and isn’t that what it’s all about anyway? 

Taylor (GoldPrint) is right. Both the Ref600s and the new Rogue DragoN are excellent amplifiers, pretty much on par with another. Once you get into this territory, differences often become more subtle and subjective.
