Rogue vs ARC


I wonder the Rogue M150 or M180 is on par with the VT100 or Ref 110 from Audio Research. They seems to be voiced as moden tube sound but I have not been able to listen to the Rogue.

First of all I don't need to read any reviews. And you should do the same and start listening.

Once again, please list all of the information requested and stop generalizing.

Otherwise it's just an opinion based on conjecture and/or inexperience.

My bet is on inexperience.

Thank you

The ARC is much superior to Rogue!
Rogue sounds SS<<

Interesting.

As a point of reference for us, please list all of the speakers along with the different ARC and Rogue amplifiers you've auditioned, to make this conclusion.

Also include the source components and linestage(s).

Thanks in advance.
Sorry if you mistook my post as a personal attack.

However when a poster with obvious lack of experience trashes a company that makes high quality components it's important to understand the basis of his/her comments. That was the reason for my request. Any component can sound poor in the wrong system.

Many readers rely on these threads for accurate information and it's unfortunate that folks making accusations such as this can harm or damage a fine company's reputation based on limited experience or conjecture.

I have many hours of listening time with both ARC and Rogue; each of them offer good value and high reliability.

No financial interest with either company

I think circuits are much more important than parts in many, many cases. At least, they are more fundamental to the sound of a piece.<<

That's very interesting.

I have a friend who is a real Jadis aficionado. Owns them, repairs them, and is intimately familiar with the products.

He loves the "house sound" despite the parts being very ordinary in his opinion.
