| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? | |
| Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se? Congrsts! You are going to love it. definitely a made by mullsrd off label gz34 rectifier f32. the stock sovtek sounds dull by comparison and blew out in mine after 3 months taking fuses with it. i have tried lots of 6SN7 and the EH are ea... | |
| The new Rogue pharaoh II slams I heard the new Pharaoh at AXPONA this year and the sound was gawdawful. Bright, poor refinement and too much midbass. Could have been the speakers (Triangle Trio), | |
| Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se? Hi testrun, I owned the RP-7 and currently own the SLP-05. I usually love rogue audio products having owned the cronus magnum ii, RH-5 linestage / headphone amp and stereo 100 power amp. unfortunately the RP-7 was a disappointment from the ... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? I looked at Supratek before buying my SLP 05 and there were a number of issues that kept me from ordering one. Long lead time like 6 months plus was one, no balanced connections and limited number of inputs were other issues. Also the web si... | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question @dinov oh but it does. i have tried 5 5ar4 / GZ34 rectifiers in my Cary preamp and they all make it sound different. there are clear winners and losers. | |
| Hifi Rose RA180 I heard it at AXPONA. Crystal clear, transparent and power to spare. Of course the $20,000.00 Piega coaxial ribbon speakers had a contribution. Very impressed. | |
| High End Quality Retailers in the Chicago, Il Area Decibel Audio in Chicago. Great helpful people and generous policies. Rogue Audio, Harbeth, KEF, Rega, etc. | |
| New Luxman 507Z yet the sound is better. | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Just heard the Rose Audio integrated- GaN class D 400 wpc. Very nice. | |
| Axpona 2022 what impressed you? Money no object the VAC / Von Schweikert room sounded literally perfect- deep rich perfectly balanced bass, midrange transparency with no coloration and an insanely delicate top end. I loved the vibrancy of the Audio Note room and rate it second ... | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? +1 Cary Audio SLP 05. A great match in my system with my Pass XA25. | |
| New Luxman 507Z I listened to the 507Z at AXPONA last Friday, apparently the only one in existence. The sound to my ears was a big improvement over their previous class A or AB integrated amps. Gone is the overtly smooth and forgiving presentation in favor of... | |
| KEF Meta Reference 1's? anyboy heard them? heard them the other day driven by a hegel H390 amp. recessed midrange, midbass coloration, poor bass depth and extension. at least the metallic treble was gone. not a fan of the KEF reference series and consider them some of the worst re... | |
| $1500 tube amp for La Scalas? You want an integrated amp. The LaScallas need more power than people realize. I heard them with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum and the sound was fantastic. Look for a used one- Here is one right here- lots of power and great sound. Jump on ... |
