I'm very happy with the BAT 3iX/Rogue M-180 combination. The BAT has survived several bouts of upgraditis. I do wish it had the nicer interface of the more expensive BAT preamps. I'm currently using all EH tubes in the 3iX.
What preamp would you mate to your Rogue M180's?
Any opinions? Currently itching to try a new tubed preamp. Had a McIntosh C2300 with good tubes, but it was a little flat. My McCormack ALD-1 Platinum sounds outstanding, but I would like to try another tubed pre. Others I have had in the system: EE Minimax w/NOS tubes (a little rounded off); ARC LS26 (but not with the Rogue; it did sound outstanding).
Any good mates with the Rouge? I know they make some outstanding high-end preamps, but they are impossible to find for a demo locally.
