Rougue Audio Perseus up against McIntosh C2200


Got my Perseus today, and been listening to Vinyl all afternoon. Got to say the Perseus kick the crap out the C2200, at least in the phono stage. More open, better imaging, I don't know but it seems better. Selling the C2200 on Audiogon soon plus a MC352 replaced by a Will Vincent ST70 with new Gold Lion KT66 tube. I listened to both pre amps today with the same system and the Rogue sounds better to me at least in the vinyl. Did listen to two CD's and could better, not sure. Did not listen And I just saved a $1000.

Sold the C2200. As stated, the Rogue has such a better phono stage preamp, the McIntosh C2200 can't keep up. Replaced all RCA connector's with White Zombie solid silver 26 AGW and wow so good. Now the DVD player (Mc MV781) sounds good. I still use McIntosh for Tuner and DVD/CD but preamp and amp McIntosh gone. Selling or sold. Dynaco ST70 by Will Vincent kick the crap out of my MC352. Love the Dynaco sound with Rogue preamp. I am a vinyl fan and have so many records, difficult to keep track. Happy listening
To quote Cstripeika: "Tuner seems to sound better in the Rogue."

I am curious when Rogue started making tuners?

Thanks,
Tom
Hi, we've been trading messages on Ebay tonight. Couldn't figure out if it was possible to just send you an email on here but I guess not unless you have an active listing. I'd like to do a deal through PayPal here if you're open to that.
