Hello ACers!
Tube preamp stage combined with Hypex output modules producing 100 WPC. Silver faceplate, mint condition. Designed and built in lovely Brodheadsville PA.
Five star reviews on this unit, including the Absolute Sound and Stereophile:
http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rogue-audio-sphinx-tube-hybrid-integrated-amplifier/ http://www.stereophile.com/content/rogue-audio-sphinx-integrated-amplifierThis unit is at least a 9/10, more like a 9.75. I am the second owner. I had the itch to tube roll so the unit has a pair of NOS RCA 12AU7 driver tubes installed.
There is also a factory custom home theater switch which allows you to connect a line level input directly to the amplification stages (bypassing the volume control) if you are using an outboard processor or variable-output DAC. You can see in the pictures that it takes over the fixed line-level output and there is a switch hidden below the front panel to switch the HT input in/out. Includes an excellent MC-capable phono stage input as well, a rarity at this price level.
Great machine for use in warmer weather when the heat output from more esoteric gear is an issue. The case never gets more than slightly warm. Idles at only 6W.
The remote, manual and stock power cord are also included. I have the original shipping boxes/material and plenty of additional packing material to ensure a safe transport. I can also meet anywhere within a 150 mile radius of Boston free of charge; a longer delivery trip is also a possibility.
Shipping included to the lower 48 in the original factory double boxes for $895.
Thanks for looking!
