Rogue audio pharaoh manual

Continue You read the old HTML site Positive Feedback ISSUE March 72/April 2014 Audio Circular - No. 8 in a series of parallel stories: First Look at Rogue Audio Pharaoh Integrated Amplifier! Gary L. Beard In 2013, tempted by the siren calling a full-floor standing speaker, I sold my longtime link, the sweet-sounding single-driver Omega Super Hemp Alnico, and moved to a few drivers von Schweikert VR35 Export Deluxe. My current stable amplifier serves the music wonderfully, but there is no doubt that VR35s benefit from a large OL glass of V'I juice for listening to a large volume. Being primarily a tube guy, I went looking for a high power push- pull tube amp to try. After hearing many positive additions to the sound tube amplifiers Rogue Audio, I contacted Mark O'Brien of Rogue to ask about the new ST100 stereo tube amp. Alas, fellow Positive Feedback writer Andre Mark claimed the thermal prize in front of me! Alternatively, Mr. O'Brien asked if I would be the first to review the new Rogue Audio Pharaoh hybrid integrated amplifier. I quickly took and a few weeks later it arrived, well packed and beautiful. Pharaoh: The Great House of the King It was my first experience with the Rogue product. It's well appointed and well built. With a nominal output of 185 W on the channel's 8 ohm load, Pharaoh is the flagship integrated in the Rogue Audio product line, and follows the classic full featured integrated amplifier design formula: Entrances for Phono, CD, Aux 1, Aux 2, Unity Gain (HT Bypass) and XLR. It also has variable and fixed outputs, as well as processor loops, balance control, heavy duty, an aluminum remote control that controls volume/dumb function, and a headphone amp all placed in a steel chassis with a thick brushed aluminum front plate. It's a very good feature set, but there's another gem worn by this King of Pennsylvania Valley: Rogue Audio Tube D hybrid design that has a very large Toroidal transformer based on linear power; a pair of Czech long plates 12AU7 (ECC802) vacuum tubes in the Mu Follower preamp section and Full Bridge Hypex Class D UCD400OEM MOSFET amplifier modules. RCA input/exit sockets, speaker posts and case work especially beautiful and substantial black aluminum face plates are very nice, but the real value is inside this beauty integrated amp. With pristine internal layout and liberal use of high-quality parts such as Mundorf EVO Oil Coupling capacitors, Vishay resistors and custom motorized VOLUME control ALPS. The rogue is serious about getting the best out of the pharaoh. A few minor notes of operational kind: There is a vacation The power on the back, which keeps the solid strength of the section heated; The tube section is powered by the press button on the front. Selector switches feel a bit a bit Compared to the soft touch control system seen on many components these days, but they work well. I wish there was a second set of speakers posts for the b-wire, but that's just me most people wouldn't give a hoot. During my months with Pharaoh, he worked famously without complaint. The sound of a new dynasty? I'm not a beginner to Class D, but I'll say that the Hypex UcD modules sound a lot more like music than the Tripath and TI amplifiers I heard many years ago. After a short break of 50 hours or so, I started listening with the intention of being serious (seriously). While it can be argued that sections can be more accomplished than integrated components, it's hard to dispute the simple joy of connecting just one component to handle most sound playback tasks. The rogue certainly fits this mold; Well built with a high degree of usability, but at the same time, happily easy to use. The sound of the pharaoh, however, is not so simple; it's complicated, and this complex sound has captivated me for months. In fact, I enjoyed the amplifier so much that I didn't write a word in the first 30 days the amplifier resided at the Beard Rock and Roll Bar and Audition Room. Unfortunately, around the same time I realized that I was better committed to taking writing seriously; I fell down the stairs and blew my shoulder out. That was back in November 2013. Mr. O'Brien kindly allowed me to hold the amplifier until I was up to the task. So while it's possible that slipgoboom might have cost me a scoop as an audio scribe, it allowed me to enjoy the amp for a nicely long time! It was reported that King Tut had golden ears and subway fetish ... It can be assumed that adding tubes to a solid body amp will provide a dash of heat, smidge smooth and slightly organic kindness. But there is a way more to the sound of the pharaoh than a little glowing heat. This amplifier is eerily quiet, the images are dense and focused. And while it's not a cool, sterile amp, don't expect it to gloss over flaws or sharp recordings like a classic big set bottle. There is a bit of a triple edge on John Mellencamp's Cuttin's head, which I've heard on every system I've owned. The rogue plays this record with visceral clarity and builds a beautiful musical picture without discouraging that casting of sand/grain. And this is really the story of the pharaoh; not decoration, just unvarnished, extremely pleasant music. In my book, Pharaoh is a bass monster, but it should be duly noted that I have an extreme dislike for the big box HT bass, where the sub has turned into 10 and woolly shit blows out the windows and eardrums and the seller has no idea how awful it sounds. I want to hear the tonal richness and the low end of the dynamic wallop within the music. Sade's Best of the Best Gold CD is full of rich, wiry, bass lines of lines Pharaoh reproduces them with a stop at a penny of speed, melodic dexterity and clapping. The complete lack of background noise is a strong point of this amp and it affects the performance of the bass as well. While listening to Animal/Work from Joe Bonamassa's side project Rock Candy Funk Party's We Want Groove, the bass sound is otherworldly as it jumps out of the black, huge, dense and fast. The microdynamics of the percussion are excellent, as evidenced by the lone trap rolling back deep against the backdrop of this obsessively beautiful mix. This amplifier doesn't seem to attach much of its own signature to the music, and if the trumpets make a warm sound, it's hard to distinguish from the whole. Each musical selection was smooth and extended with stunning resolution, very good layering and separation of instruments and voices. There is body and weight of music, but I didn't notice as much texture or tonal color as with the thin tube amps I heard. Again, I doubt that the same tube amplifiers are as neutral and transparent as Pharaoh. The tone is very good, but the auditory vision is clearly unpainted compared to my own tube amplifiers. On her excellent 1998 CD What I Deserve, Kelly Willis serves up an emotional performance on a pretty good record. Hearing this passionate state is as much a function of system/listener synergy as it is the possibility of a single component, some systems have melted my ears, not my heart. For all his neutrality, Pharaoh is still able to fill this record with the passion he deserves (agram). With every album, CD or computer music file, my listening experience was similar; each choice was unique, allowing the record to be the focus. As I said earlier, I found Pharaoh to be silent idling, with such low floor noise that the music can be enjoyed at low volume without compromising permission. This is a big deal for me as I usually listen at a fairly low level. The image is a real force and the stage is wide and deep. At first I felt Rogue was a midhall point of view, but the more I listened, it was obvious that staging, as it should be, is a record dependent. On He Won't Go, from a fantastic 21 album, young Brit sensation Adele front and center, images large and dense as if I'm sitting before the recording session. For months I listened to this amplifier, my notes contained a number of recordings, which I consider valid descriptors of the pharaoh: Toe tapper. Deep, melodic, fleshed bass. Airy and cohesive, small details and good middle class. Extremely black background. No glare. Clean and green! Sound very slightly warm? Not a sterile tube in a preamp? I learned to write Pharaoh! In my experience, the strengths of this amplifier are its great resolution, dynamics, neutral tonality, and excellent bass. But as well as the hallmark of the trait the amount is always more than the parts. Rogue Pharaoh offers great flexibility for money and hell drives from VR35s. pretty sane levels to keep old ears from crapping, but I couldn't resist cranking the volume several times one evening. As long as I held the handle in check and the amp/speakers from the clipping, it was superb fun. Doobies Clear as manageable snow from the captain and me had a great listen. When cranked, the room is filled with amazingly dynamic sounding drums, guitars, keys, fabulous harmonies that have always been non-tiring and never sharp ... just a fantastic 1970s kickass rock 'n' roll! The doobie were so good I couldn't help it, so I cued up Who's Baba O'Reilly from one of my favorite albums of all time; Who's next. The opening of the signature synthesizer was as wide as the room was; maybe a little more raw and unrefined than hi-cut Doobies, but I felt those days of Teenage Wasteland welling inside, and it made me feel like running to on someone a particular monolith! Finally, I put on 20 all-time Greatest Hits by the man himself, James Brown. There was an immediate groove; front row smilin', swivel hip grindin', serious RBC. The brass horns and musical cry of James in Mother Popcorn Pt.1 was abSOULutely in my room! It was a hell of a night of music... Pharaoh Court adds value to the Rogue built-in background section uses the 12AU7 tube section to provide pre-simplification for LP playback and has an adjustable load using the drop switches that are inside the amp. Profits are selected for use using Moving Magnet, High and Low Output Moving Coil cartridges. I enjoyed listening to its excellent separation, cavernous scene and driving dynamic atmosphere with my own Music Hall MMF9 at the factory moving magnet setting. In addition to the thin Fono amp, there is a discrete tube headphone amp with a front-mounted 1/4 connector. The push next to the headphone jack turns off the outlet for the speakers. In this state, amber LED lights so you know that the speakers are off, while pipe chain headphones and low voltage solid body chains remain energized. My Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones required a couple of nudges to get a decent volume, and while I can't listen to headphones very long these days, my short stint with Pharaoh sounded smoothly balanced and eminently musical. Cleopatra needed a rogue on a party barge! Rogue Audio Pharaoh Integrated Amplifier is one sweet piece of audio gear. In the sparse and sometimes silly expensive hobby of hi-fi, this integrated amplifier is a fantastic value. I want to Mark O'Brien and Rogue Audio for the opportunity to live with him for so long. And while the hybrid sound of the pipes and Class D may not be for everyone, there is no doubt that Rogue has given The community is another great product choice that should pair well with different speakers and is exceptionally energy efficient to boot. Pharaoh provides a highly developed sound and a lot of ringing bells, whistle blowin' function for what we audio nuts consider a reasonable price. Don't believe me? Go listen to yourself, I think you'll be very impressed.
