RE: Help picking a tube preamp

The Rogue Athena and Hera don't get much exposure because few own them, but they may well be the best components Rogue makes. The Athena is particularly nice at $5K new; under $3K used. These 6H30 based preamps are extremely uncolored and have powerful, extended, and articulate bass response. My Hera has caused me to lose all interest in 12AX7/12AU7/6SN7 based preamps -- I ended up preferring the Hera over a VAC Renaissance III's line stage section (though the phono stage in that VAC was really sweet and hard to give up).
