I am selling my Rogue RP-5 that is about 11 months old now. This RP-5 is in black. I am the original owner. This unit will also come with two HiFi Tuning Gold Classic fuses ($120) and four Gold Lion re-issue 12AU7 tubes in place of the JJ Electronics tubes. The JJ tubes went south on me within a few months of owning the preamp so rather than get more of the same (as Rogue does guarantee the tubes for six months) I went ahead and bought the Gold Lions. The Gold Lions were $150 for the quad so this preamp comes with $270 worth of upgrades.
Please check the online reviews this wonderful preamp has received, to include a TAS Product of the Year award. This has to be one of Rogue's best preamps to date, and frankly I am not too keen on selling it. But, I went overboard and bought a preamp that is twice the price of the Rogue and frankly, I had to spend that much to get better (and not by much I can say) than the Rogue. Also, I forgot to mention that this is a full feature preamp and has a built-in phono section that is actually quite nice.
Shipping will be to the lower 48 states only. I will also double box for safety reasons. I do have a FedEx account so I will be able to save some money on shipping costs. I would be willing to discuss some arrangements for shipping but PP fees will have to be covered as it would represent a significant amount of cash. Please note: I DO SHIP WITH A SIGNATURE REQUIRED AT TIME OF DELIVERY. Sorry - I am not yelling but I do want that point covered. I will ship without a signature required if asked but do realize that if I do, when FedEx states that the preamp has been delivered, then it has been delivered and anything after that is on the buyer. Again, I do not want to be a jerk but some past sales have forced me into the position. Thanks for understanding.
Photos will be posted later but I can truthfully state that this preamp looks brand new and actually should be a "10" but I went conservative on my rating.
Please check my feedback on Audiogon and/or US Audio Mart under the monicker of "zkidd" and see my 100% positive rating.
Price: $2495.00 - Sale Pending
