Rogue Audio Ares Magnum Phono Preamplifier $1850

Rogue Audio's top-of-the-line phono preamp. This is the Magnum version that includes Cardas internal wiring and RCA jacks, as well as Cinemag 'Blue Label' steup up transformers and other upgrades. Handles any cartridge, MMs to the lowest output MCs.

Purchased new in 2018, the unit is in mint condition, physically and sonically. Includes original box and all internal shipping material. Price new is $2795.

So, why selling? I recently acquired a second turntable dedicated to mono recordings. Rather than buy a second phono stage, I opted for the Luxman EQ-500, which has three inputs. The Luxman is also a world class phono stage, but I'll miss the dead quite performance of the Rogue, owning in part to the external power supply.
