About the Sphinx v3
The Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 is a dynamic, transparent, and musical hybrid integrated amplifier that combines a pure tube mu-follower preamplifier with solid-state power amplification. It provides 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms (200W into 4 ohms), featuring a redesigned MM/MC phono section with user-adjustable 44/60dB gain and loading options, discrete MOSFET headphone amplifier, tube-driven active outputs for subwoofers or bi-amping, and four inputs (phono, line 1-3). Hand-built in the USA with a custom 375VA toroidal transformer, massive linear power supply, matched 12AU7 tubes, Alps volume pot, gold-plated RCA inputs and binding posts, and machined aluminum faceplate. It includes slow-start sequencing, low power consumption (standby 6W, full power up to 385W), and a 3-year warranty (6 months on tubes). Optional metal remote control available. Note: A newer 'Magnum' upgrade version exists at higher price.
