Can a rogue audio Cronus be used just as a preamp?
I just looked at the owner's manual for the Cronus and it shows 2 sets of RCA outputs. 1 fixed and 1 varible, so yes you can use this as a preamp. Use the varible outputs so that the volume control works.

Pass Labs XA60.5 or the XA100.5 would be my choice. 
Gong to some lp's
The ARC REF 3 does NOT have a phono stage. Excellent preamp, but no internal phono board. 
Audio Technica AT150MLX finally gets some respect
My Audio Technica AT150MLX has remained in my stable for quite awhile now. I am always selling off other cartridges, but just move the 150MLX from table to table. EXCELLENT cartridge!!!

Bill was one of the first high-end people I meet when I decided to open an audio store way back when. He gave me much needed advise and I always appreciated his kindness. Audio Research was his pride and joy.He will be missed.RIP Bill.

Tube DAC Conundrum
I agree with Mrtennis. I have owned lots and lots of tube gear and always turn them off after a listening session. My solid state gear is left on.

Rega TT Owners - P3-P5-P7
As you move up the Rega line, you get a better tonearm with each model up.There are places that are closing out the P5 for $999. That's the one I would buy.
