Rogue Cronus Magnum Integrated Amp in excellent condition. Well regarded amp with the Magnum upgrade (better power supply, capacitors, Dale-Vishay resistors, superior binding posts, etc). It is the version with the silver faceplate.

Versatile amp with hefty metal remote, headphone socket, ample connectors, a biasing tool and even a phono stage. While packing, I noticed that the remote is missing one of the tiny rubber feet at the bottom. Didn't bother me as I do not use the remote but replacement available from Rogue.

Great amp for the tube-rollers, as there are many options. Will accommodate EL34, KT77 and KT90. For the KT120, you will need to order the upgrade top plate with the larger openings from Rogue. Stock factory tubes (KT90, 12AU7 and 12AX7) except for the middle preamp 12AU7 which has an upgraded NOS RCA cleartop.

Has original shipping box, remote, manual and power cord. Price: $1,550 plus shipping. Shipping weight about 60lb. Add 3% if using Paypal. Let me know if you have questions.

    Got the Rogue audio Model 99 preamp, which then led to me also purchasing the Rogue Stereo 90 amp. Rogue make a great product! No longer desire upgrading amplification equipment. Someone looking to get into tubes can't go wrong here. GLWS

    I'm a big Rogue Audio fan as well.
    Can't beat the service or quality of build and the ease of upgrading is great.
    I am sure I will try other amps in the future but I cannot see ever parting with the Rogue amp.

    Thanks, guys!

    I agree. Top quality USA made amp and one of the best customer services around. You can call and talk to Nick and Mark with any questions and they will patiently help you out. Just a top-notch customer oriented company.

    IIRC, that amp is a very good match for Vandersteen 2ce series speakers.

    Rogue is some GREAT stuff however, and one cannot go wrong with them. They were the gateway drug to my tube addiction.

    John,
    Your thread documenting your Carver Statement build was awesome to read and follow. I look forward to another scintillating thread on the upcoming builds.
