We have the new Rogue Audio Cronos Magnum III Integrated Amplifier in and ready to demo upstairs right now, and we’re already enjoying this great compact tube based piece. It features 100 watts per channel of tube power, using 4 KT120 output tubes, and 2 12AX7 and 3 12AU7 input tubes, with a 2W tube based headphone amplifier, a phono amplifier, and 4 RCA inputs, along with a variable output (sub, etc.). This has already garnered The Absolute Sound Editor’s Choice Award (featured in this month’s current TAS magazine)

The new Rogue Audio Pharaoh II Integrated Amplifier is now on display, ready to audition and sounding amazing! It features a tube hybrid design, providing 250 watts per channel into 8ohms and 400 WPC into 4ohms, with a pure tube mu-follower preamplifier. Also features a phono stage, a pair of balanced XLR inputs and a tube driven 1/4″ headphone jack. Hand built in the USA.

We have in the latest hybrid vacuum tube wonder from Rogue Audio, the Rogue Audio DragoN Power Amplifier. This is a hybrid tube/Class D design, that is garnering rave reviews, capable of 300Wpc into 8 ohms and 500Wpc into 4ohms. We currently have it powered to their award winning RP-5 Tube Preamplifier that has a built in phono stage that is rather amazing in it’s own right. We had this pairing connected to some ProAcs the other day and it was blowing us away. We also have the latest Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III Integrated amplifier in right now and ready for demo. Come check these out!!!

We now carry the new Rogue Audio RP-7 preamplifier, which is connected to the great Rogue Audio Stereo 100 all tube amp. The RP-7 adds balanced connections and other upgraded parts to their great RP-5 Preamplifier, sans the phono stage, but keeping a wonderful headphone amplifier. This combo really sounds amazing. We also carry the Rogue Audio Ares Magnum all tube phono preamplifier to our collection of great phono stages. If you want to hear just how great all tube modern gear can sound at very realistic prices, you owe it to yourself to check out our line up of Rogue Audio products!
