My Rogue Audio Metis is on its way . . . I just purchased it off Audiogon.
Now the only question is . . . what should be the first drink and song to be had in the presence of Metis??? Suggestions are welcome . . . I listen to it all and drink just about anything (barring chick drinks).
Check out the write-up.
"Tube rollers delight
Rogue Audio Metis preamp with remote option, also includes three pairs of 6SN7 tubes
Total price of $850 includes shipping and all Paypal fees
Unit is 6 months old, included are manual, box and all original packing materials
Features include 3 line inputs, built-in phono section, headphone jack, and two outputs, one variable and one fixed
Included tubes are as follows:
GE 6SN7 GTB
RCA silver label 6SN7 GTB side getter
Sylvania 6SN7 GTB, labeled for Baldwin
All tubes purchased as NOS matched pairs from reliable tube dealers
Included tubes have been auditioned for noise and microphonics and passed with flying colors
Detailed specifications available on Rogue Audio website, www.rogueaudio.com
Selling to move up (way up) in the Rogue line. These guys get soundstage right!
Wonderful reviews available from Soundstage, rated as a 2006 Reviewers Choice; and The Absolute Sound, March 2006
Quote from TAS, 3/06, In fact, the Metis is the best sub-$1000 preamp Ive ever heard, and it not only sounds good but also is well made.
Check my perfect feedback and buy with confidence"

Congrats!!! I am a jealous camper.
Where does you taste in music fall most? Jazz, blues, rock, classical?
Drink suggestion will come with answer to above question"she had the body of Venus, with arms." -
Well, I just picked up Mary Stallings "Fine and Mellow" - Naturally balanced two microphone recording. It's an amazing recording. I like a lot of Eric Clapton Blues and Rock. Sometimes I even listen to TOOL when I"m feeling angry. But, I have to say Blues all the time, but just discovered Jazz.

Congrats! I've found that the Rogue pre's have the open and deep soundstage that I like. It seems like they bring the music to you. Enjoy! I would vote for the XRCD version of Jazz at the Pawnshop!DKG999

Blues = any shot of choice (on the rocks of course)"she had the body of Venus, with arms."

I like a good shot of black label on the rocks with a cold Sam Adams.

Congrats on your new pre; Rogue was one of the brands I was looking into in my last preamp search; have heard only good things about them._________________________________________________

SOPAThank God for different opinions. Imagine the world if we all wanted the same woman -
Can anyone recommend some other good CDs with Mary Stallings or perhaps some other good jazz recordings? I never knew I would like this stuff so much. Coming home and listening to Mary after work is quite possibly the closest I have ever felt to the days when all I had to worry about was Saturday morning cartoons and the cute girl down the street.
