Sorry if this sounds defensive or self serving, but my experience with the Rogue Stealth varies drastically from yours. My carts are a Scheu-Benz LO (modified Glider) and a ZYX R20h. I tried the Benz-Lukaschek PP-1 expecting synergy with the Benz cart but was disappointed at its performance with both cartridges and preferred the Stealth by a substantial margin. The Lukaschek looks great in the box, but the shape and location of the input jacks made it inconvenient to deal with in my setup. It is notable that the Stealth and the B-L sell for about the same on the used market (~$600), but the retail price for the B-L is several hundred more suggesting that the Stealth is a better value. I also have tried the Dynavector P75, Lehmann Black Cube SE, and PS Audio GCPH but preferred the Stealth over all. I do not find it to be at all bass-shy or lacking in resolution as you suggest. Maybe if I were comparing it to the Joule or Ayre, costing thousands more, I might change my mind but even though it is no longer "flavor of the month" here on the VA, the Rogue Stealth still is a serious contender in the <$1000 range.
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
