Rogue Audio vs Vincent Audio


Hello,

Just wanted to get opinions/suggestions on Rogue Audio vs Vincent Audio.

In particular, the Rogue Audio Sphinx V2 Vincent SV-237MK.

Heard a Rogue Sphinx demo today and it certainly sounded good hooked up to some B&W Speakers, sorry forgot to check which model but infidelity, one of their higher end speakers.

Show rooms always have good acoustics, I unfortunately have vaulted ceilings.

Anyways, wanted to see what you all have to say.

I am at the moment evaluating a Vincent Audio SV-500 which I do like very much but now the Rogue has me thinking. 

I can still return the Vincent within it's 30 days limit but have also read such good reviews of the Vincent SV-237MK, so I am wondering about that also.

Thanks

+1 for Rogue. Be sure to check for possible future expansion capabilities on the Vincent. As a Rogue Pharaoh owner I'll  say you get a lot of bang for the buck.. Driving B&W 803D2 it does real justice to the music. Unknown benefit is that it can be connected to an HT processor. This allows me to either use the Rogue or the HT processor for spinning the 12 inch platters. I think it's a great piece and worth the extra dollars. Customer service is excellent. 
Actually I found that , in my case, I could connect ICS from the Rogue variable output to a analog input on my processor and enjoy LP playback in simulated surround if I wanted. A nice bonus. Using the Rogue as phono stage at that configuration. Also a bonus the Rogue remains in standby mode. Been meaning to ask Rogue about that.
