Up for sale is a Rogue Audio Zeus Dark amplifier. This amplifier has been upgraded by Rogue to the same circuitry as Apollo Dark monoblocks and has a new set of KT-120 tubes. The condition is excellent, but there are a few small zings on the handles that are not noticeable. The unit also comes with a protective cover, but it is designed for KT-88s which were the tubes originally supplied by Rogue before this was turned into a pair of Apollo Darks in one chassis.
This thing is a beast - over 200 pounds of muscle. The only reason I am selling it is I live in an apartment, and the wife says my stereo is getting too big! If you are looking for Apollo Dark monoblocks, save some money and buy this. It comes with Telefunken and RCA NOS signal tubes. Greatly prefer local sale due to the size of this amp. I will ship it, but the buyer will have to pay for freight shipping that is likely to be around $500. If you are interested in a set, I also have an almost new RP-9 which is an utterly amazing piece and sounds great with this amp - the performance is unbeatable for $10k total.
From Rogue:
In the recent past we have quietly built some very special amplifiers for critical product launches. These amps were built for other audio companies who wanted to showcase their most expensive loudspeakers and components at important events such as the CES. These industry insiders recognized just how good the Apollo monoblocks already were but asked us to take them a step further. Our response was the Apollo "Dark" monoblocks. Using the Apollo platform as the basis, we enlarged and improved the power supply and made numerous circuit and component upgrades that significantly improve the transparency and dynamics of an already excellent amplifier.
Based on the overwhelmingly positive response within the industry, we have decided to make the Apollo Darks available to select retailers.
