Rogue amps-- try 5751 instead of 12ax7
Here's a copy of what I posted a little while back concerning my "tube swapping" for my Rogie Audio Cronus. Mark and Nick at Rogue have always been extremely helpful. My system makes beautiful music.......------------------------------------------... 
Sonic differences Rogue Cronus vs. Cronus Magnum?
Our tastes in music are quite similar .... "cool" jazz and female vocals. My Cronus is magnificent. I swapped out the stock Svetlana EL-34's for a matched quad of Genelex Gold Lion KT-77's, and the music sounds absolutely wonderful. The "regular" ... 
Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain?
Hey Tubegroover........As I have taken "my foot out of my mouth," I read through some really old Audiogon stuff, and found this :11-01-00: TubegrooverI am a 50 year old environmental contractor, married living in the South and raised in the Northe... 
Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain?
Vandersteens are absolutely wonderful speakers, and perhaps other than Richard V. himself, John Rutan knows them better than anyone else. So why don't ya'all put aside your audiophile egos, place your favorite record on the turntable, and enjoy th...

Goldlion KT77 vs KT90's
I replaced the original Svetlana EL-34's in my Cronus with a wonderful matched quad of Gold Lion KT-77's. A great amplifier now sounds even better ! By the way, the tube swapping was done after some great conversations with Mark O'Brien at Rogue.

What are your favorite phono cartridges?
Rega Exact 2, with my P3-24/RB-301/TT-PSU.......Sublime. 
Any 5a owners?
Congratulations !!! Vandersteens are wonderfully musical speakers, and you should really enjoy them. Do a search here on Audiogon. There are lots and lots of threads about Vandy's, and many, many happy owners. Happy Listening !

Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What
It's wonderful ! I only wish it was longer than 38 minutes. Come on Paul, can't you give us some more music for our hard earned cash ? 
Allman, Clapton, and Simon
Yeah, Robbie Robertson shouldn't be forgotten either. By gosh, "The Last Waltz" seems like yesterday. Robbie on stage with The Band, and joined by Dylan, Mitchell, Clapton, Dr. John, Morrison, Young, Diamond, etc., etc. I have not heard his new al... 
Allman, Clapton, and Simon
Well, maybe my infatuation with Allman's new album is due to the fact that I bought it as soon as it was released, shortly after I saw him give a great concert with the Brothers. Gregg singing and playing his Hammond B-3, Warren and Derek on guita... 
Vandersteen 5As...first impressions
My Vandy 1C's sound wonderful in my system. I can only imagine how great your 5A's must sound. Musical nirvana, I assume. Congratulations on your new speakers. Happy Listening.
