@proux I never spent more than that on any of my components.
Are you willing to buy used?
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...

@parkergetdean yes used unless i get some insane new / ex demo deal. Hence sphinx v3, around £800/ $1,100 used |
@proux i tried the Sphinx and I was not pleased with it. I am crazy about British audio gear so I am a distraction here :) |
@parkergetdean and here is me looking for americans to tell me how good their stuff is! 😆 I wonder which other country punches above its weight/ size? Denmark, norway? |
@proux - Funny you should ask that. In the UK, you get different (and better) SONY amplifiers and receivers than we do in the states. What Hi-Fi is a good source for that information. Same is true for Denon. You also have Naim, Quad, Arcam, all of UK vintage to name a few. This may be going down the rabbit hole a bit, but there should be a Richer Sounds or other shops nearby to start the search. Rich |
