Rogue Audio RP-5 v2 Tube Preamplifier

Description

The RP-5 v2 uses four 12AU7 tubes in a mu follower line stage and adds a phono stage with four gain settings from 43 to 65 dB, enough for most moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. It borrows its headphone circuit from the RH-5. The v2 revision added an OLED display and an optical rotary encoder for volume in 0.5 dB steps.
