This piece is one item on my list but I haven't a clue from a technical standpoint what the heck any of that means or if it even matters? Any help is appreciated. (Generally I don't get too concerned with the tech specs, I am concerned with how it sounds.

Open to any other tube integrated under $2k also. (Still a possibility to do separates too but the pre would def be a tube)

I enjoyed my system most when I had the Anthem Pre 2l (and SE version) BOTH times. The space and air was terrific for me. If I can reproduce that space/air and with more detail then that is what I'm looking for.

I've considered Cary, Jolida and Cayin but my interest in them is fading. I like the power of the Rogues even the Cronus from them if upgraded has 90w.

Thanks,
Rich

    According to the spec sheet there is a big drop in power at 4 ohms. IMHO you may want to look at another amp. Others with more tube experience I am sure will chime in.
