Perseus
Preamplifier MSRP $1,895 (Magnum $2,195)
With newly updated circuitry including a much larger power supply,
the 2009 Perseus is even better than ever. With astonishing accuracy,
the Perseus reference preamplifier reveals all of the nuance and detail
previously hidden in your recordings. The deep taught bass and sparkling
highs are recreated with surgical precision. A sublimely smooth yet
uncolored midrange provides the basis for musical experiences you
will wish never to end. Equally impressive are the rock solid imaging
and deep soundstage that provide unparalleled musical presence.
The Perseus is a feature rich preamplifier that includes a four tube
line stage and an excellent high gain phono section. The phono section
is user adjustable and compatible with almost all of todays high
performance moving coil and moving magnet cartridges. Other features
include a home theater bypass, metal remote control, subwoofer output,
auto mute function and a slow start feature to prolong tube life.
In keeping with Rogue Audio’s “quality by design” philosophy,
only the finest components are used in the construction of the Perseus.
Gold and silver abound as do ultra-high tolerance resistors, polypropylene
capacitors, gold/ceramic tube sockets and all of the other exotic
componentry so important to discerning audiophiles,. And to complete
the picture, all of these technical features are captured in a sophisticated
chassis design that artfully displays the exacting electronics contained
within.
