New Rouge Dragon amplifier

Review in most recent Absolute Sound.  Apparently the tubes are in the output stage (?) not the input.

Yes they gave it a good writeup 

Well, the Rogue DragoN finally arrived and should be broken in by now. Worth the wait, yes. Having had the Bel Canto Ref600M’s for quite a while, those who still doubt what these novel amps are capable of are missing out in my opinion, but I am sure others will disagree, and that’s fine. To each his own I say. I now have the Rogue paired with Spendor Classic 2/3’s, also purchased from Taylor at Goldprint, and suffice it to say the combination is a very good one. Installing a pair of NOS Brimar 12AU7’s in the DragoN didn’t hurt either. Time to sit back and enjoy the music, and isn’t that what it’s all about anyway? 

@vdotman, happy for you and enjoy.

What matters is that you are happy. To many folks come here for validation and that is human nature.

Like when you bring home the new car and pull it in the drive and wait for the neighbors, to come and give you that nod, cool car, validation.

I say who cares as long as you’re enjoying it. 

I've been really impressed with the Rogue DragoN.  I'm fortunate enough to sell both Bel Canto and Rogue, and having heard the 600s and DragoN back to back, you can't really go wrong with either. (imho)

Vdotman above has a ton of time behind several Bel Canto options (and a few other amps as well).   In his current particular setup, the DragoN ended up winning out, but he had the 600s for a while, and I know he would say that he really enjoyed those as well.

The DragoN not only sounds good, but is fun giving the fact you can slightly tailor the sound with a simple change of tubes.
