Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?

@ronrags  thank you

thank you! Magnum sound close to mc275 or Audio Research ? 

I listened to the pharaoh and I really liked it a lot, maybe just a little cold, but I guess because of the original tubes. I have never heard the magnum but I read very good comments. I decided to blindly buy it for my jbl even though I was left with Pharaoh’s doubts. I hope I have done well. I receive the magnum in a few days.

new.

@larry5729 ok , my question is about amplification. Not about the speakers.

im seeing pharaoh. I see differences, a black transformer cover and different capacitors. The second picture is pharaoh 1 or 2 ? on the front  only say "rogue audio" and on the back "Pharaoh"

@avanti1960  Thank you, This helps me. I see the brand is good in "tube amps". I still say that I really liked what I heard with the Wharfedale Linton + Pharaoh 1..

From Rogue (Pharaoh 1 vs 2) : 

Hi Matias,

The Pharaoh II is based on the new Hypex NCore modules which offer higher performance, and we also use a more powerful module. The Pharaoh 2 is rated at 250 wpc into 8 ohms and over 400wpc into 4 ohms, so it will give you more dynamics than the V1. The V2 will also have a higher level of transparency and better detail than the V1.

Hi ! finally received my Cronus M iii. I love it.

delicious and meaty mids.

the first hours I heard a little humm noise, it was just the central valve 12AU7 (stock jj).

I have had many amps in my life. mc275 V, mc275VI, Mc452, Pass Labs, Krell, but no one gets me into music like this one. the voices are real and they go forward. After a break in (I guess about 300 hours) i would like to try central 12au7.

I have 12ax7 Gold Lion and Tung Son gold pin for roll, the most significant is central 12au7 ?

I opened it to change terminals from 8ohms to 4 and I was surprised to see Mundorf oil caps 🤤 when I saw the internal circuit it reminded me of Audio Research. well welded and separated components, good size wires..

I feel like it has a lot of power. I could compare with 1,5 mc275. (a little less than dual 275) I think could drive any speaker to normal levels. im playing with L100Classic, im seeing Harbeth SHL5 but....i dont know,....sounds so good with these.......I just don’t want to turn off when I turn on
