Looking for a tube phono pre

Looking for a tube phono pre in the 2500 to 3k price range. Currently running a Sutherland Insight LPS. Using a PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated and VPI Prime scout with Hana ML. I have a Chinook on order at Upscale but they are dragging their feet and I have read some reliability issue post with the Chinooks, so I can cancel the order. Anyone compare the Rogue to a Chinook? Thanks

I just came across this company and their products the other day.

Might be worth a look:

@jmphotography  I also have the ModWright PH9.0X & it is wonderful. It sounded great even with the basic stock JJ tubes but I switched them for NOS military Tesla & it's now amazing! Excellent communication from Dan as well.

The Chinook is a really nice phono stage for the price.  I bought mine pre-owned in 2018 and it has seen a lot of use with no issues.  I'd cancel your order with Upscale and jump on this https://echohifi.com/details/17222/Manley-Laboratories_Chinook.  They won't drag their feet, it will be shipped out tomorrow.

I eventually upgraded to a Herron VTPH-2A, but they are now unobtainable.  I still use the Chinook every morning while getting ready for work.
