I am proud of the fact that my first review for
Stereophile was of a modestly priced integrated amplifier called the
Rogue Audio Sphinx. Specified at 100Wpc into 8 ohms, 200Wpc into 4 ohms (footnote 1), it played the
KEF LS50s like it was made for them. It was simple and handsome and cost only $1295, phono stage included.
