Transparent Gen 5 Super vs. Gen 6 Plus
While I usually agree with the idea that the next generation is about 1 1/2 steps up from the previous, which means that the Gen 6 Plus should sound a little better than the Gen 5 Super, at least in some ways, I find that each tier has a somewhat ...

My friend Jim put a set of Mazda tubes in his RP-5 for a big improvement over stock tubes and also over current production tubes such as Gold Lion and Mullard (the Mullards were better than the Gold Lions in this case). The rear pair of tubes have... 
Rogue Rap-1 to RP-5
I can't answer the exact question but, a friend went from a Rogue Perseus to the RP-5. It was a big improvement all around and the Perseus can perform well in the right situation.The Perseus lacks a standby mode so, it took a few hours (like 5 or ...

Maybe instead of the buffer, you should try a Schiit Audio Loki. A friend put one between his Jolida cd player and Rogue RP-5 tube preamp. Now it is possible to tolerate listening to the Stones Let it Bleed album.
