Rogue 99 pre vs. BAT vk30


Just curious what you guys thought about this comparo. I'd be using a Cary v12 amp and Maggie 1.6 speakers. Would it really matter that the bat has balanced?(cary amp does too) I love tube warmth and widest, deepest soundstage possible (even if it's inaccurate). So, which would you buy? Thanks

You are partially correct about the noise of the volume control in the Magnum 99.however the noise is strictly coming from the servo motor controlling the volume pot and IS NOT coming through to the speakers,at least not in my system.I can hear the motor noise when adjusting the volume with the remote control and I am seating about 8 feet away from my system head on,but when the volume is higher it's hardly noticeable.
Rogue makes great gear and the magnum 99 is an exceptional pre in my opinion.
