I had a Cronus and, compared to the Jolida 302 that preceded it, it was an improvement in dynamics and bass. Then I got a CJ CAV50 and this was even more of an improvement over the Cronus, especially in the midrange and depth of soundstage, which is particularly great for jazz and its relatively uncompressed production. I will be posting my CAV50 for sale on Saturday, since replaced by Manley Snapper monoblocks and Jumbo Shrimp preamp, so if you are interested, look for my ad then.
Integrated Choice - Down to two
Any responses if you have experience with either or both of these amps would be truly appreciated.
I have narrowed a decision down to either the Exposure 2010s2 for ss, or the Rogue Cronus for tubes. Which shall it be? I had tube seperates years ago and really loved the sound, but hated messing around if something went on the fritz. Would the Rogue be pretty trouble free?
Will pair with PSB Image T6's and a W4S Dac1. Average size room, I don't listen really loud, mostly jazz, female voclas, acoustic, etc. I crank it up once in a while with some louder stuff.
