+1 on the Rogue Cronus Magnum II. Sound and build quality are bonkers good for the money. Mark Obrien is a fantastic engineer and the Rogue Audio sound is fast, open, harmonically dense and has the guts to drive most any speaker out there. No shade to Jolida, just different sound and I prefer the Rogue.
Jolida Integrated or Rogue Integrated MAgnus Cronus II
So...here we are, me being a tube amp "Rookie" and the question which Integrated the Rogue Cronus Magnus II or one of the Jolida's between 60 and 70 Watts.....You tell me please, do not let me steer wrong!
I have a limited budget, considered the Primaluna, however the phone amp issue detracted me form it and yes, I understand they run at lower voltages that extend tube life and are less stressful, have "Auto Bias" and a plethora of tube options.....tell me who sounds better. That is all I want to know, I want Soundstage, I want to be engulfed and just buried in music when I play Mike Oldfields's "Tubular Bells" with sound..... Thanks!
