I purchased the Rogue 99 w/ phono several weeks ago. Unfortunately, due to the holidays and the accomadations necessary for a 10 ft. Christmas tree I have not had enough optimum listening time yet. ( All my furniture gets re arranged and the tree sits directly in front of one speaker). I will say that right out of the box the 99 was quite an improvement over my old CJ PV10. Two audiophile terms that came quickly to mind were " separation of instruments" and " depth of sounstage". The bass is superb ( and Im using a 7 mtr. IC between pre and power.) I am taking down the tree today and getting my room back to normal, and am looking forward to playing some non Christmas music extensively. I also can verify that Mark at Rogue is someone you will love to deal with. He answered e mails quickly and arranged to have my unit shipped directly to my house from the factory (no local dealer) even though I bought from a dealer in FL.( Hollywood Sound, another great place to do biz...) Hopefully I will post back when I get more time ,but for now i agree with Fujindemon about the grin...
