@dekay A harmonically rich, liquid 3D sound is exactly what I am looking for. I will reach out to Brent Jessee. @decooney Yes, it true that rolling tubes in any tube product is not necessary, however should bring results. If not then one has to ask what are the tubes bringing to the design. I can't believe that tube rolling in this unit wouldn't alter the presentation in some fashion. I will call Rouge and see what they have to say regarding this.

I thanks all for the great recommendations. I intend on leaving the JJs in place for a while I get acquainted with this amp. Then explore some of the options suggested herein. At the moment I have the amp in a system set up to supply music and augment TV in a living room which is on the bright side. As i move forward I will get the room tamed down some, however It will remain livelier than my dedicated room which is treated to my liking. |
@thecarpathian Yes was an interesting read. Thanks. I spent some time on the Brent Jessee website. Read the review of the Pharaoh II. Been running my Sphinx Ii for several hours. Seems to be sounding better as hours go by. Going to let it break in. Get adjusted to how is sounds. Room is rather barren at the moment, still needs window shades and more furniture. Have yet not called Mark O'Brian of Rogue Audio. I intend to do so. I hope not to spend more than ~$200 on a pair of tubes. Thanks to all contributors! |
@decooney That is exactly what I intend to do. I may have 30 hours on the unit now. Running a computer as a server into it as I work on the new house. Will get to the 200 hour point within the next month. After that time I will consider all the suggestions acquired herein and purchase a pair of NOS tubes for trial. It's all fun & games with no one getting hurt :-) @paul_lindemann Thanks for the recommendation. @thecarpathian Please let me know if you put your tube up for sale. Thanks.
