Bad Match Warning for Rogue 99
I had recently bought and installed with great success some small signal 12AU7/ 12AX7 tubes in my Rogue ares and EE minimax phono and pre so it was with great anticipation that I bought a set of 4 Psvane CV181.
Well after letting them sit for a week I installed them and lit them up over night. Morning came turned on the Power amps and left everything warming up for the afternoon and time to try them came and well lets just say Disappointing. The hum was noticeable even at fairly low levels Sound was ok but they hadn't opened up yet. Wondering if it could be that the cover is off? Well lets put it on . Wait It doesn't fit Tubes are to tall . Not a good thing . Contact seller They are willing to give me new tubes that will also not fit. So options are Sell them at a lost or spend more and buy a second cover popping holes on the mesh and trying that. Any Ideas where I might find one . Going to contact Mark one of these days to see if he has a damaged one for cheap . I think its the tube not the cover . all suggestions welcome . BTW Very happy with Rogue Gear which consist of the Ares, 99 Super Mag and 180 Mags . Front end pieces are Shelter 901 on VPI HR-X and a Eastern Electric Minimax CD .
