Rogue Audio Metis Magnum upgrade.


Hello,
I’ve been running a Metis for over 10 years. I have used it with a few different amps including an NAD 2400, Will Vincent ST-70 and a McCormack DNA-125. I have enjoyed it with all these combos. I like the design of it, I also like it has a phono pre-amp and a headphone amp. I have at least 10 pairs of 6sn7 tubes I can roll in it. Right now I’m using some GE 6sn7GTA’s from 1952.
My question is has anyone compared the sound of the stock Metis to the Magnum version? Since I like the pre I’m thinking of sending it in for an upgrade. I’ve searched the web, but haven’t really found any good comparisons.

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey Tommy!  I'm a Rogue Audio dealer, so will try to help as much as I can. Have you sent Mark/Nick an email at Rogue?  They are generally pretty straightforward and helpful with items like this.

Most of the upgrades I've seen in the past involved amps.  I don't remember ever sending a Metis in for the upgrade (and I don't remember what specific changes take place with the Metis).  Preamp changes with them usually involve power supply, cap and diode upgrades.

The Metis is a fun pre.  I imagine the upgrade would be a nice one for you.
