By the way that was supposed to be irony or sarcasm whichever fits best
Anyone own one of these preamps ?
My buddy is looking to upgrade his preamp and is considering these. We’ve both read the various reviews, I’m just reaching out to see who might have personal experience with any of them. Any positive or negative feedback is welcome.
(He’s open to s/s or tube/hybrid). Obviously he will also assess what will be a good match to the rest of his system, but here we’re just looking for personal exposure to any of them. Some are still current models, others would be used:
— Benchmark LA4 (half-chassis footprint is annoying lol)
— Anthem
— Rogue Audio RP-9
— Ayre Acoustics KX-8
— Herron VTSP-360
Thanks all!

Just bought a rogue rp-1, the 1st version, because I got a good deal on it. Comes later today. Bought it because it received very positive reviews and I think it will sound good with my class D nad amps thst are bridged. Has all the inputs I would need, except balanced. My other preamps are the schiit kara f and a vintage Rotel rc 995. The 995 i picked up for 200 bucks, it is mint. So for now, I think i got enough preamps to keep me busy for a while. All this is in a second system, I typically run my class A sugden A21se with my tannoys. |
@gkelly , Tell me your joking. |
I briefly owned the LA-4 and agree completely with @zlone This preamp is very detailed and clean, but sterile and uninvolving. Didn't hang around long. |
