I had the Rogue and I also have a CJ Pv-11 and a Modwright preamp. The Rogue was more dynamic, fuller sounding with better bass than the CJ the only thing I didn't like about it was the high end was a little too soft for my taste. It has an excellent phono stage for high output MCs and all MMs. The phono stage compared favorably to the CJ which phono stage shines above the line stage. I realise now that the CJ actually has a tipped up high end because the Modwright sounds similiar to the Rogue on the highs. Now I need to find a good outboard phono stage. Another quest!!
Does this preamp exist?
Hello,
I'm looking for a stereo, tubed preamp with the following features:
*excellent mm/mc phono stage
*headphone output (or two tape loops)
*at least three line-level inputs plus at least one tape loop
*used price of 1,500$ or less
Right now I have a Audible Illusions 2D which I like a lot more than the Conrad Johnson PV10 that preceeded it (though the CJ was not without its charms). So sonically something similar to the AI.
If you can think of any possibilities, please let me know. And thanks again.
