I had Rogue Magnum 99 preamp and BAT vk200 for a month or so, but soon I replaced Rogue with BAT vk30.
BAT/Rouge (with RCA-adapter) worked fine (an improvement over Linn/Rouge which I had for a couple of years), but I just could not get away with the idea that all balanced approach would be better.
I like vk30 over Rouge except the phono. The phono card from Rouge sound better for me than the vk phono card.
Later, I got an RCA-XLR cable (from AudioQuest) and it worked better than with the adapter.
Now I have vk200 and vk60 with vk30, biamping Tyler Linbrook signature systems.
