Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III Integrated Amplifier
Rogue Audio builds tube electronics in Brodheadsville, Pennsylvania, and has for nearly 30 years. The Cronus Magnum III is the piece that built the reputation — a KT120-powered tube integrated that delivers 100 watts per channel in ultralinear mode and 60 in triode, switchable on the fly. That is not a small number for a tube amplifier, and it means the Cronus will drive speakers that most tube integrateds can't touch.
Four KT120 output tubes per side, 12AX7 and 12AU7 in the driver and phase-splitter positions. The phono stage handles both MM and MC — Rogue reworked the phono circuit significantly from the Magnum II, and it shows. Headphone output. Remote control. Four line-level inputs. Bias adjustment is user-accessible from the front panel, which matters for anyone who's owned a tube amp that required a screwdriver and a meter every time you rolled tubes.
This is American-made, point-to-point wired tube gear from a company that answers the phone when you call them. The Magnum III is not the cheapest way into tubes and it is not the most expensive — it is the most defensible purchase in its price range, which is why it has been on every serious short list for a tube integrated at this level for years.
