Triode vs. Ultra-Linear vs. SET

The Rogue 88 sounds better in triode than it does in ultralinear. Since the Rogue can be set very easily in either mode you should try both and see (hear) for yourself which you prefer.

I compared the Rogue 88 in triode against a 300b SET and found that they are more similar sounding than different. The 300b worked better with single driver speakers (Lowther, Fostex, etc.), while the Rogue had more punch with efficient multiple driver speakers. Also, if you run the Rogue without the cover you can disable the fan, which adds noise. E-mail Mark O'Brien at Rogue and he will tell you how.

Richard,

I own the rogue tempest magnum and find the triode so much better than ultralinear. i find there is much more dimension, texture, and warmth in triode.

Thank You, everyone for your great responses.

Clueless - I'm a reading fool! Nothing like a compulsive personality directed in the right areas. But, you know, a little knowledge can be dangerous.

Thankfully, I do have some face-to-face help from a very knowledgable dealer here in Hollywood, Florida (anybody around here).

Lastly, for now, Has anyone in modern civilization heard the Von Schweikert DB-100's? I'm nearly ready to give out a reward.
