Dynamic, transparent, and profoundly musical, the Rogue Sphinx v3 sets
a new standard in affordable integrated amplifiers. Utilizing sophisticated
circuitry borrowed from our most advanced designs, the Sphinx is
able to outperform separates costing far more than this single box
design. And with 100 watts of hybrid power, this integrated is capable
of realistic volume levels that will rival the clarity and presence
of the original performance.
The
Sphinx v3 contains a discrete MOSFET headphone amplifier capable of driving even the most demanding headphones. An excellent user adjustable phono with 44/60dB of gain will accommodate your favorite MM or MC cartridge.
Active and fixed outputs allow for the addition of a subwoofer or
other outboard devices, and the active output is driven by the tubes for the best possible sound. A high capacity linear power supply provides
tremendous energy storage to recreate the deepest bass passages
while various regulated power supply stages provide ultra smooth
sound in the midrange and treble. The machined aluminum faceplate
is available in either black or silver to compliment the rest of
your components and the optional remote further adds the convenience
of remote volume operation.
