Rogue Preamp RP-1

Went with the Gold Lion tubes also.What kinda burn in time does this need?

Just wanna give Taylor at Goldprint audio a shout out thanks for talking car of me on the RP1.You guys need something look him up.Thanks Again for the great service!!!

I'll second the Brimar CV4003. I use them in my Sphinx V3 

@thirsty93 I had great results with Brimar CV4003 from Upscale Audio in my RP1. Second best were Gold Lion. I also tried RCA clear top and didn’t like it. Thin and tipped up in the treble. 

Got the rp1 on the way tell me what after market tubes I need to roll with the nht2.9 and McCormack DNA1 plz Cheers

As a Rogue dealer, I like the RP-1 quite a bit. It's one of my go to pre's in the sub $2.5k price range.  Have quite a few customers running them that love them.

Funny enough, just sold one two weeks to a good customer of mine that was running a Schit pre (don't remember the model).  He's been throughly impressed with the sound improvement from the change.

What tubes are you guys using listen mostly classic rock.

I been running an RP-1 one for years with Mullards.  It's a great little pre for the money.  Especially if you can pick one up for around $1K used.  You can proly get rid of your separate Phono Pre as the Rogue phono stage is purdy respectable.

YES,  the remote is cheezy but they have an upgraded model you can purchase.

one over on USAudiomart for $1.3k

@stereo5 oh yeah…had RP5 👍

@audphile1,  sorry typo error.  RP-5

RP1 is a nice preamp. I had it paired with Pass X250.5 and with Rogue ST100. Worked good with both amps. As an added bonus a phono stage in it is very decent. 
 

@stereo5 RP3?

I had a Rogue RP3 and really liked it but hated the cheesy remote.  

I really love mine, paired with a Rogue Atlas III. Quiet, good features, solidly built. I replaced the stock tubes with Psvane and was even more pleased. Reportedly the phono section is very sweet. My experiment this week will be to remove my outboard phono pre-amp and dial in the RP-1. It's a very solid performer. Only complaint is the stock remote is cheap. I hear that Rogue may have a more solid option.
