I had a new RP5 for a year and a half.  Out of the box it sounded great with the stock tubes but really came into its own with NOS Mullard tubes.  It was a very quiet preamp with many options.   It was very dynamic sounding as well.  I ran it with an Odyssey Stratos Extreme and later with a Conrad-Johnson MF 2550 amp.

Before I bought the RP5 preamp, I contacted Rogue and talked to the chief designer.  I read him the specs on the Odyssey amp and was told it would be an excellent match.  So  much for specs.  As a matter of fact, the Odyssey sounded better than the Conrad Johnson amp and I was quite sorry I sold the Odyssey and bought the CJ..  I also used the RP5 with the McIntosh MC152 amp and it sounded better than the CJ.  I went all McIntosh and upgraded the power amp and sold the RP5 for the Mac C2500 tube preamp.
