nferre66. Try some vintage NOS Mullard  12au7 tubes in the preamp stage of the Pharaoh. Also a quality inexpensive power cord such as the Harmonic Technologies AC-11. You will be amazed....

I have a Rogue Pharaoh. It sonically destroyed  a Macintosh C-45 pre and MC-402 power, SS. 11k worth of Mac gear. In listening comparisons, I thought the Rogue went toe-to-toe with ARC integrated.
