Rogue Audio's RP-1 tubed preamplifier is made in the US. It has no DAC, but it does have a big Balance knob, and a moving-magnet/moving-coil phono stage with adjustable gain and cartridge loading. These options can be selected by removing the RP-1's top panel and moving two sliders (gain) and two DIP switches (resistive loading). The output stage is tube, but all other circuitry is solid state, including the phono preamp stage, the headphone amp (which uses discrete transistors) and input signal conditioning. The RP-1 sounds particularly, smooth, spacious and at ease.
Specifications: Tube complement: two 12AU7/ECC82. Frequency response: 5Hz–75kHz, ±1dB. THD: <0.1%. Gain: 9.5dB (line stage); 44dB , 56dB (phono stage). Rated output: 1V. Output impedance: 750 ohms. RIAA accuracy: ±0.1dB. Phono overload: 40mV. Headphone amp: 1W (32 ohms). Power consumption: <1W (off), 23W (on). (6) Single-ended inputs: 1 x Phono MM/MC, 1 x Home Theater bypass / unity gain, 4 x Line inputs. (3) Outputs: 2 x variable and 1 x fixed.
