The New Rogue Titan Series is here!
You can reach ROGUE at www.rogueaudio.com Rogue Audio of
Pennsylvania has introduced its very affordable, made
in the USA (!) Titan Series of electronics. Just in are a terrific new preamp and amp
that deserve consideration if you would like to check out tubes at affordable prices. The
warranty is 3 years P&L!
Metis Preamp:
$1100 with remote, Silver or Black (4 1/2h, 18w, 12 1/2d)
Tubes
have lured audiophiles for years. Deservedly so, the mellow, romantic sound is undeniable.
The typical price for a fine tube preamp with remote control and phono runs about
$3000-4000! The Rogue Metis has hit the streets at just over a grand, $999 without remote.
It also has a headphone jack. Metis inputs include: phono (MM), CD, Aux 1, Aux 2. It has a
balance control and two sets of preamp outputs, one variable and one fixed.
Metis employs two 6SN7 tubes. These are the same tubes used in Rogue’s much
more expensive line of preamps. They are used in a unique “slow start” circuit
to extend tube life. This rascal weighs 16 lbs!
Atlas Power Amp:
$1500, 55 w/ch, Silver or Black (5 1/2h, 18w, 17d)
The new Atlas tube amp is quite the affordable, 50 pound powerhouse! Generally in
this price range you would expect tube power of single digits. To get a gutsy 55 w/ch amp
for reasonable money is downright exciting. It’s easy to think of LOTS of great
speakers that can be driven by Atlas. We have the B&W and Paradigm lines in our shop.
Atlas will drive practically all of these models very well. The sound is large and warm,
much as you would expect for twice the price!
Tube compliment: two 12AX7 input tubes, two 12 AU7 driver tubes, two EL-34 output
tubes. Speaker taps are 4 & 8 ohms. An optional cover is $100 if you’re concerned
about kids and pets.
