Thanks for everyone's ideas, I think I am leaning toward the integrated route, Sphinx or Cronus. Does anyone with experience with the Tyler/Rogue combination have thoughts if I would hear a major difference running my speakers through one vs the other? I don't want to feel like I settled, but also don't feel like paying 2x more for a minor difference. thanks!
Rogue audio amp thoughts
I am looking to upgrade my power section from Cambridge 640A to go with Rega Dac R and Tyler Taylo monitors. I have listened to and am interested in Rogue, and after hearing the Cronus with the Tyler’s, realized I probably wouldn’t be fully satisfied with the Sphinx long term, but couldn’t replace with an all tube integrated or separates all at once. I can use the pre section of Cambridge with a different power amp but not vice versa. Would I be better off getting a Sphinx first And later getting a tube power (Atlas/ Stereo 90) later and use the Sphinx pre section, or pick up one of the above mentioned power amps first and use pre section of Cambridge until I can get a stand alone pre amp further down the road? Thanks for any thoughts!
