CES 2011 Coverage

Magnepan - Rogue Audio - Sota

As I mentioned in my opening remarks, this room was one of the surprises of the show for me. Not because I didn’t know that Magnepan, Rogue Audio and Sota make great products, but that an setup costing less than $8000 could hold its own so well against other systems costing up to ten times as much. There’s a lot to be said for getting back to basics.

Shown are the Magnepan 1.7s ($1995), the Rogue Audio Ares phonostage ($1995), the Rogue Audio Chronus Magnum integrated amplifier ($2195) and the Sota Comet turntable with Dynavector 10×5 cartridge ($1150).
