I own the same Rogue amp/preamp combo after having listened to Audio Research, Cary, CJ, and Quicksilver. The Quicksilvers were the only combo that seriously challenged the Rogues in musicality, but the Rogues won on sheer dynamics and bass control. I personally don't think that you will find a more overall musical sound than the Rogues unless you are willing to spend MUCH more money (at least double what the Rogues cost).
SS vs Tube for preamp ?
Okay, I am looking to try a new pre in my system. First I will tell you what I have, and then look forward to your input. I am using a pair of Rogue Magnum M120 monoblocks, with a Rogue Magnum 99 pre at present. Proac Studio 250 speakers, Vpi HW19 jr TT w/PT6 tonearm and Grado Reference Sonata cartridge, and a Cal CL-15 CD player.
I am looking to change my preamp. Idon't get much of a chance to audition equipment so I look for help in answering questions form reliable sources.
What are the differing qualities from ss/ tube pre's ?
What are some things I should consider, like input inpeadence?
What would match up with my 120's well?
