About the Stealth
The Rogue Audio Stealth is a high-performance, low-noise solid-state phono preamplifier designed for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. Handmade in the USA, it features precise RIAA equalization, a massive fully regulated power supply with toroidal transformer, and internal switches for customizable loading and gain settings. It is praised for its musicality, solid build, and ability to reveal deep bass and clear highs from vinyl records. Reviews note its versatility with various cartridges and solid construction with heavy machined aluminum faceplate and copper circuit boards. It has been replaced by newer models like Triton and Ares, indicating it is no longer in active production.
