it's a strange choice, in the UK you have so many fantastic options. Have you seen the British Audiophile's lists

Will a Rogue Audio Sphinx v3 perform decently with my Sonus Faber?
hello from london, my first thread!
i am using sonus faber olympica i standmounts (87db, 4ohm) in a smallish room (17x9 in feet), not crazy levels, jazz but also rock.
i have a complex setup (lab12 tube pre, arthur boxem class d power amp, and longdog audio hybrid phono stage for my Hana SL MC). and a REL T5.
I really need fewer boxes, but also some cash, and it is tempting to sell everything and buy a used decent integrated, currently eyeing a rogue sphinx v3 , not do well known here. But i can't audition
i expect that it can't perform as well as what i have, but could i get reasonably close? maybe not for the phono stage. I guess i should go for the magnum upgrade, or the pharaoh, but that might be later...

thanks @parkergetdean , i only want to go ahead if i spend less than £1k, i guess i can look at the 1-3k range and see if anything available second hand. Good YouTube channel though! |
@bowshooter58 sounds great, magnum too much for me - and too heavy! |
@proux I never spent more than that on any of my components. Are you willing to buy used? |
