Rogue 66 or AES pre?

Do you own the Rogue 66 and how does it sound?

What does the rest of your system consist of?

Hi David, Could you send me an e-mail and let me know the dealer who you went through? I too have been calling around and most dealers don't want to come down much on the price! Thanks, Brad

One more question...not to start another argument here but, Sedond what is with the way you type a response....do you know the english language or is it just a thing you do?

Is there more than one model of the Joule pre? I do remember the LA-100 ....am I right? Dave, could you steer me in the direction of your dealer friend? I would be much obliged! Thanks

Hi Dave, I talked to your dealer friend earlier about the Rogue pre, and he couldn't give a good deal...why????

Hi David, The conversion went ok. I told him that you David "tube rush" refered me to him. When I was talking to him, he seemed distant at times. I then mentioned that I have been shopping around for either a 66 or 99 and trying to find the best deal. He asked the best deal I've received and then I told him. He just said that there was no way he could swing a deal because the Rogue equipment is in big demand. My best offer so far for the 99 Magnum lsr was $1849. and is apparently a 3 month old demo unit w/ nos tubes. Wow, what a deal $150. off full retail! Seems like you got a killer deal because you help with his business and are a friend.I appreciate the help though,thanks. I've since received a e-mail from a gentlemen that will sell his 3 month old 66 lsr for $850.. Sounded like a good deal to me. What do you think? Later on, what can I expect from a Magnum version of the 66 compared to the stock form? The dilema I've been in is, how much of a change for the better would the Rogue 66 be in my system? I see it this way, when I receive the 66 and if it works well, I've saved spending another 1k. that could be spent elsewhere! And if it doesn't work well, sell the 66 and look into a 99.

I think I'll try the 66 first and if I don't like, turn around and sell. If I happen to like w/ my system, I'll get the magnum version. Right now, I'm really ready to get a different(especially tube) pre in my system. Hoping the 66 will work for me as I'd be saving $550.-1k. Crossing my fingers!!

I hope to find the synergy in my system with the Rogue. Boy, I can't wait to get it next week. Sent the money order out today (2 day... :)) and should receive pre by Thursday or Friday! One question...does anyone know where I can find a Studiotech model aw-3 or hf-3 a/v rack with rosewood shelves and silver frame for a good price? Thanks ya'all.

I received the Rogue 66 a couple of days ago and love it.Using the Rogue has brought more "air" and "bloom" and overall a more relaxed presentation. What I thought was a good deal on the 99 ended up being a miscommunication. He quoted me $1100. for a 66 lsr and not the 99 lsr. Now I'm considering doing the Magnum upgrade for the 66. What can I expect from the upgrade? Thanks, Brad

I agree with your thoughts Leaf. I'll think to wait a couple months for the upgrade is a good idea. It'll give my ears a chance to know the sound. Can you recommend a ic between the 66 and amp and also tweaks(cones,tubes,etc.)? Thanks, Brad

Hi Leafs, Which soundcoat product do you use on the Rogue? I looked up the website and saw several products. Thanks.
