I have personally owned the rogue audio magnum preamp, although it is a very interesting pre. there is no doubt in my mind you can find a phono section you like better. I have compared it to ARC ref 2 mark 2 and I purchased the ARC. The ARC was much more dynamic and rich there was really little comparison. Although I do not think the arc had a phono section in it. This leads to the next pre with phono section. Atma-sphere mp1, I purchased this on AG simply because I had a atma-sphere amp., and wanted to try the combination. This is the combination that just seemed sing, It is very musical and really brought a level of enjoyment I did not experience before. The MP 1 pre, has a phono section in it and I hope it is as satisfying as the line stage. (I am putting together a TT over the next month or so) Componets I would look at are: Tom Evans the groove(phono section), Manley steal head pre/phono, Atma-sphere mp 1. (I am presently gathering phono equipt to set up a tt), the members of AG have been very helpful with information. Good luck with your system.
Phonostage question ...
Now that I have made my decision on a new analog set-up, (Avid Volvare, Tri-Planar arm, Helicon cart), to replace my Nottingham Interspace w/Dynavector Karat, I was thinking wheather I should consider upgrading my Rogue Stealth phonostage.
I've got a Rogue amp/pre and the synergy works well with the Stealth and Interspace. I've yet to try it with the new stuff (which is coming). I don't have an opportunity to audition phonostages.
Now that I've entered a higher level, what should I think of phonostage wise? Is the reward worth the $$$? Should I stick with the Rogue? Thanks for any ideas.
