Rogue Audio Pharaoh Integrated Amplifier
€4,000.00
When we began development of the Pharaoh amplifier we had one overarching goal: The realization of an integrated amplifier that, without compromise, would offer the performance of the finest separates. To that end, the Pharaoh uniquely combines solid state power amplification with tube preamplification to deliver amazing dynamics as well as the organic midrange and sweet top end that only a tube amp can provide. Along with truly outstanding sonics the Pharaoh boasts numerous features including a tube headphone circuit, mm/mc user adjustable phono, home theater bypass, remote controlled volume with mute, and a processor loop. The Pharaoh is truly a “one box” solution to all of your amplifier needs.
Description
From a technical standpoint, the all important preamplifier section utilizes a pair of long plate 12AU7 tubes configured in a mu-follower topology. Large coupling caps and a host of exotic parts ensure that the audio signal is preserved perfectly during this critical stage of amplification. A huge linear power supply is then used to deliver energy to the solid state power amplifier section. Designed around the highly regarded Hypex OEM modules, the amplifiers provide seemingly unlimited power and dynamics.

Pathos Ethos
Pathos Ethos: Integrated amplifier (HiDac Optional)
The edged exterior of the Éthos does not provide any clues about how to control the amplifier. Like with the Logos to operate the Éthos is a hit and miss trial and error affair. Both recessed buttons on the front panel are difficult to access and they carry no marks or descriptions. The remote controller (by the way very elegant slick piece of metal) will not help a lot as it also has just anonymous buttons. Either a user looks into the amp’s manual or just presses something to see what it does. This is a kind of trade-off for the clean Italian design,
Other than that the Éthos is built with great attention to detail, the selection of parts, craftsmanship and internal layout scream with quality and care. I loved the amp’s heatsinks that are cast in the shape of Pathos’ logo.
The central part is occupied by a turquoise alphanumeric display that is dimmable. The power switch can be found at the rear panel and there is no need to power the amp off as it stays in a standby mode at idle, A ‘progress bar’ on the display will inform you that the Éthos is waking up – it takes no more than 30 seconds before all circuits are stabilized.

Hegel HD30 (EISA Award Winner)
The Hegel HD30 is the ultimate digital control centre. It does everything you can dream of, and does so with world-class quality. There is an abundance of inputs, ranging from balanced AES/EBU and BNC connectors, to Network and USB connections – with the latter also accepting DSD signals. The built-in volume attenuator allows you to connect directly to a power amplifier or a pair of active loudspeakers. Highly advanced power supplies and careful lay-out brings the noise floor down towards a mindblowing – 150dB. In
LINE MAGNETIC LM-845 Premium
LM-845 Premium – Integrated Amplifier – Single Ended 845 – 2x30W
The LM-845 Premium is the result of many years of research on the 845 triodes Single Ended design. Thanks to its exceptional design and manufacturing quality, it is fast becoming the absolute reference in the high-end amplifiers world. With a power output of 2x30W, it can be used with most of the existing reference speakers.
The LM-845 Premium is a combination of two units: One is the amplifier unit and the other is Outputs unit. In the amplifier unit the main amplifier and power supply parts are included while in the outputs unit output transformer and speaker outputs parts are included.
Amplifier unit and outputs unit are connected with two separate well-built connectors and cables for which you can put up and down or left and right.
All tube Integrated with 12AX7 input tubes, 310A signal amplification stage, 300B driver tubes and 845 output tubes. Well selected and matched tubes. Tubes we chose are Shuguang 12AX7, Line Magnetic 310A, Shuguang 300B and Shuguang 845.
Two user bias controls for 300B and 845 have been used for bias adjustment and two meters has been added to the front plate to allow you to monitor bias with ease.
Negative Feedback switch is on the front plate that you can choose between two levels of NFB to enjoy the different sound outputs.
In LM-845 Premium it includes eight transformers. Two pieces of power transformers, two output transformers, two coupling driver transformers, two chokes. In order to have a stable and better power supply, we have designed two pieces of specially designed Toroid power transformers in Balance. EI type of output transformers is installed in the outputs unit separately to lower interfere from the external radio frequency.
