I moved from a Rogue RP-07 to a Cary SLP-05 and it added like to my music. I hear the RP-09 is an all around better SQ than the 07. One thing that drew to the Cary was the tube rectified power supply. It is two larger separate units but if you have the space I might give it a try. It was an end game unit for me. Very happy. I know there has been some negative reviews on support but I have not experienced any issues. I do know there are many very positive reviews and happy owners. I’m not sure you can wrong.
New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k
Hello all! I am new to this site, and preamp. Thiss might be niche, but I am using a Stax headphone with its amp, which has a bypass function for external preamp. I am trying to add a slight bit of warmth, plus better dynamics and imaging.
Currently I have found some good ones (and available), from what I've seen on this site, as follows:
Rogue Audio RP-9
Cary SLP-05 (around 11k with the "ultimate upgrade")
I've also seen ARC Ref 6 suggested, but there seems to be a lack of sellers in my place. As for SLP-05, the distributor at my place said there was no demo, even for the standard version......which left me with RP-9 for audition. Would much appreciate your opinions on them, and any alternatives!
Thank you in advance!
