Rogue 66 or AES pre?

I think I'll try the 66 first and if I don't like, turn around and sell. If I happen to like w/ my system, I'll get the magnum version. Right now, I'm really ready to get a different(especially tube) pre in my system. Hoping the 66 will work for me as I'd be saving $550.-1k. Crossing my fingers!!

Brad-excellent plan! I bet you end up keeping the 66 for a very long time.I saw a review in Audiomusings where the 66 was put up against the very popular and solid Stereophile class A Audible Illusions MOD 3A.To make a long story short,the reviewer preferred the 66 over the 3A
You have to keep us updated!! Good luck! Dave a.k.a. "Tube Rush"

I'm a bit late to the party but I just wanted to second the vote for the Rogue 66. I've had mine for a little over a year and it's a great preamp. Benefits from a tube roll, as stated above, but an exellent preamp even with stock tubes. Terrific bang for the buck. I much prefer it to the AI pre. Good luck!

Bradz dont let the small minds of the world lead you astray.A Rogue 66 will be killer.Most are jealous of the fact that such a good product is sold for such a good price.These are the $ mean more than sound crew.
Go with the 66 at 850.00.You can allways Magnum it later if you like it.

I hope to find the synergy in my system with the Rogue. Boy, I can't wait to get it next week. Sent the money order out today (2 day... :)) and should receive pre by Thursday or Friday! One question...does anyone know where I can find a Studiotech model aw-3 or hf-3 a/v rack with rosewood shelves and silver frame for a good price? Thanks ya'all.
