For those that have experience with Rogue, whether through ownership pr having heard them, what are your impressions of the brand and in particular the M-180 monoblocks and the Perseus Preamp. This is the direction I am leaning for the moment as I make some changes in my rig. The Sunfire Stereo 600x2 is already on it's way to a new home. I am in no rush to do everything, but I have an opportunity to move on the pre fairly quickly and am looking for opinions.


Thanks guys.

    Just wanted to give this a bump and see if there are any opinions on the Rogue Audio gear...

    I owned the Rogue 90 tube amp and loved it. It was very responsive to tube rolling and NOS tubes sounded the best. This amp was on the TAS 2008 recommend list. I say go for it.

    I have a Rogue Model 99 Magnum preamp. Everyone who has heard it has left here amazed. They have excellent customer service. I think their products are all first class. I wouldn't hesitate to buy something from them. I am not a tube amp guy so I can't comment on their monoblocks. I prefer solid state.

    Does your Model 99 have the phono-stage? I will be demoing a Perseus with phone stage here shortly and if it stacks up well with the Sunfire I will be very pleased.:)
