<p>We’ve got the EHF-200MK2 integrated amplifier from Rogers High Fidelity here for a while and after hearing it at Stereo Exchange in New York this weekend, I’m anxious to put it through its paces with a wide variety of speakers. *Featuring a pair of KT120 output tubes per channel, this amplifier puts out 120 watts per channel in Ultralinear mode, but can be switched into triode mode as well.</p>
<p>The EHF-200MK2 is packaged like a piece of fine jewelry, homage to the luxury product it is. *The remote is gorgeous, the manual concise and easy to read – but best of all each one comes with a little note enclosed from the person who built it, adding a bit of humanity to the process. When I caught up with Roger Gibboni I thanked him for the extra car, but he said “We do that with every amplifier, we want people to know the care that goes into each one.” So, Trish, thank you very much for building this amplifier…</p>
<p>Stay tuned for our listening impressions and the world’s first review shortly.</p>

Never before has music sounded so good coming out of your speakers. Clarity rules with the EHF-100 and EHF-200. Trust us. Turn them on and youʼll be blown away by their concert hall quality. There may be other tube amps on the market, but nothing compares to the power and precision of these amps. The sound is stunning and so is the look. All you have to do is close your eyes and immerse yourself in the music.

The new EHF-200 MK2 has the same specs as the EHF-200 with the following additions:

  • A preamplifier input
  • A preamplifier output for a powered sub-woofer
  • A remote volume control
The pre-in and pre-out functionality allow the EHF-200 MK2to be used in a component system like a stand alone power amplifier without the added costs of separate units, cabling, maintenance of 2 power amplifiers.
 
That a nice looking integrated. I like the idea of having a preamp input. The only thing that bugs me personally are the inputs on the front panel. Can't wait to read Jeff's review.
