Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum

摘要

While today's esoteric high-end audio components often command stratospheric prices, savvy audio enthusiasts looking for high performance gear that doesn't cost a king's ransom should take heart that there's still plenty to choose from when shopping wisely. Take, for example, the amplifiers made by Rogue Audio, which hails from Pennsylvania. The company's raison d'etre since its inception has been 'to create truly high-end products at entry-level prices'. It's a bold claim for sure - one that usually implies that manufacturing has been outsourced to the Far East. But that's not the case here: this American boutique brand sources most of its components locally, using American-made transformers, resistors and capacitors, and assembles its products entirely in-house. Not for them the leveraging of inequalities in global labour markets.
