RE: Anyone ever compare a Cronus to a Jolida 502BRC? nt

I replaced a Response Audio-modded 502 with an Atlas (power amp version of the Cronus) and a Channel Island passive pre. I've owned Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures since 2002, so they were a constant. The Rogue was a definite step up in every way, especially the dramatically lowered noise floor and greater dynamics. Reminded me of an ARC VT100 I borrowed once, though it absolutely trounced the ARC VS55 I auditioned last year. The Jolida was a great little amp with a luscious midrange no matter the tube selection (I tried 6550s, KT88s, and el34s). I'd happily buy another. Unless a Rogue was available for the same price. And I have to agree with the post on Rogue's customer service - second to none. Call Rogue, and you'll likely get Mark, one of the nicest guys in the business.

Cheers
Geoff
