Rogue Audio Magnum 99 Tube Pre-Amplifier

[dorokusai]

Rogue Audio Ninety-Nine (http://www.rogueaudio.com/Products_99.htm) - Magnum - Linestage Tube Preamplifier - 9/10 - Silver - *SOLD*

I've had this for about 8 months since Matt Polk refuses to return my Audio Research pre-amp :) It's very responsive to tube rolling and I'll throw in a new quad of matched, Electro-Harmonix spares. I've really enjoyed the sound and the fit and finish is top notch. The guts are super nice with a toroid transformer and the even better idea...outboard power supply. It comes with a metal, remote control for the couch potato's or as I refer to them...the smart folks.

If you want to add the phono stage, it's modular and plug and play for install. I've seen them used for $150-200.

It's a perfect match to Usher Audio (http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77648&highlight=usher+audio) loudspeakers :D

Shameless bump for a nice hunk of steel......Sweet sounding to boot,had an ear on one last year,with the stock tubes and it sounded great,no brainer for you guys looking to step up.

Beautiful pre-amp! Incredible sounding also. I've always been amazed out how good my Rogue 66 Magnum sounds, and this pre notches it up several levels.

I added some pics and am giving the new tubes a whirl. The unit is flawless.

[braminator]

Can you email me at newbramfam2000@yahoo.com to discuss this preamp for sale?

[dorokusai]

Sent.

[dorokusai]

Rolling some Tung-Sol tonight.....nice. I think the 6SN7 is an unloved tube sometimes.

[dorokusai]

This is still available....I've had enough fun with it now. If you don't have some 6SN7 in your tube locker, get them eventually.

[dorokusai]

Anyone still looking for a pre-amp? I'm out of underwear.

[I-SIG]

If this was balanced, I'd be working out any way Mark might let me pay him back....short of sexual favors.

Free bump.

If I didn't just pick up a Dodd MLP pre, I'd have been all over this like a fat kid on a Snickers and just snagged it from you while I was up.

[dorokusai]

Thanks Wes :D

That Dodd is really nice Tom...I think you'll be ok :)

Last call before she goes to the dump.

[dorokusai]

It appears our own George Daniel is going to take this for a test run and roll a gamut of 6SN7's in the process. Thanks George!

I left the stock tubes in place, ditch them for now and try some Tung-Sol, NOS RCA or NOS Raytheon. Let me know how it goes. The adjustable gain selector came in pretty handy for me.

[george daniel]

I'm ready,,got some NOS RCA and Sylvanias ,, they're "goin' in".Looking forward to introducing it to the VTL's and hoping for "magic".

[dorokusai]

Price drop, free shipping.
