Rogue Cronus Magnum III “DARK” Integrated Amplifier

For 20 years the Rogue Audio Cronus has been the finest integrated tube amplifier in the world in its price range. It has gone through three major upgrades and several minor upgrades. We’ve improved the sound, increased the power, and added features. But was it enough?

  The new Cronus Magnum 3 features a host of upgrades over the MkII version. One of the most exciting upgrades is the ability to operate the CM3 in Triode mode. An external switch flips between ultralinear (100WPC) and triode (60WPC) operation. The CM3 also sports a completely new phono section that can now accommodate low output cartridges. The new phono section has user adjustable loading, selectable gain of 44 dB and 58 dB, low noise circuitry, and most importantly sounds terrific. The headphone amplifier is also completely new and is a direct derivative of our award winning RH-5 headphone amp. The new design is much more comprehensive and features MOSFET buffers on the outputs. This headphone amp sounds great and will drive even the most difficult headphones. The line level circuitry has also been improved and now features a super low noise floor and better overall sonics. Finally, the three button metal remote is back and included with every unit! – General Features and Specifications: – 100 WPC – 20Hz-30KHz bandwidth – 4 and 8 ohm transformer taps – Slow start turn on sequencing – Massive high storage linear (!) power supply – (2) 12AX7, (3) 12AU7, (4) KT120 output tubes – Gold plated RCA inputs – Gold plated binding posts – Machined aluminum faceplate – 4 inputs (phono, line 1,2,3) – 45/60 dB gain phono input +/- 0.1 dB 20Hz – 20KHz – 2W Headphone amplifier – Aluminum remote with volume and mute – Buffered variable outputs (great for subwoofers)! – Active outputs for subwoofer or biamping – 4 RCA inputs (phono, line1, line 2, line3) – All precision components – Heavy (2 ounce) copper circuit board – Full tube cage/cover (optional) – Fully tested, burned-in, and auditioned – Detachable IEC power cord – 18″ W x 17.5″D X 6.75″ H (actual) – 25″ W x22″D X 11″ H x 55 LBs (shipping dimensions) – power requirements: 120V/240V – 50/60Hz – Entirely designed and hand built in the USA
