Rogue Hera II and Athena-info wanted

Hi,

There isn't much info on either of these. Has anyone had a chance to hear them, and compare them to any other preamps? I had my heart set on getting a Herron 3a preamp (or possibly a McIntosh C2300 or ARC LS26 or LS27: basically something tubed but neutral) and the Rogue came up as another "neural and musical, yet tubed" option. An ex-local dealer was raving about them as well, but they discontinued carrying the line due to lack of name recognition. He did suggest trying to track one down.

Any opinions?

I did audition an Athena for a weekend about 6 weeks ago and really liked it a bunch. It was very holographic and just brought the system to new heights. I could not afford it at the time and have ordered something else. One is for sale here right now at a great price.

It's also built like a tank!
