@parkergetdean yes used unless i get some insane new / ex demo deal. Hence sphinx v3, around £800/ $1,100 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...

@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 |
@rar1 Rich yes there is a nearby richer sounds and they may get to know me well! They usually offer long warranty and occasional deals but still of course will not get second hand prices. There was a also a really nice branch of the sevenoaks chain but it closed... christos |
