Hello Ray, nice system. It is good to see you have a quality turntable and tuner! I am missing both at this time... I cannibalized them to fund other improvements and haven't replaced them as of yet.

As for your system description if you are still considering the Rogue or McCormack gear with a tubed preamp both would work well. I have heard Rogue extensively and owned both the DNA-1 Deluxe and DNA-2 Deluxe. Either McCormack amp coupled with the VTL Ultimate preamp (older model can be found used around $1,100 here on a'gon - true dual mono, one of the best VTL preamps ever) make for a stunning combo!

If you are looking in another area at this time or want any info on any of those feel free to email.

Good luck & enjoy the music while on the journey!
