Tube recommendations for my Rogue Audio Cronus ...
I have been extremely happy with my GL KT-77's. I'm just thinking ahead, as we all know (or am I wrong ?) that power tubes should be replaced every four years or so. Should I be proactive and replace them in a few months, or should I wait for a tu... 
Revel f12 owners....
After many changes and upgrades over the years, I am extremely happy with my system. After spending fifteen years with my wonderful Vandersteen 1C's, I am experiencing a greatly improved sound of music with my new Revel F-12 speakers. The synergy ... 
Turntable mat for Rega Planar 25
Herbie's Way Excellent II ........And, why are you using a clamp ? The Rega guys always stress that their tables are designed to work optimally without a clamp. 
Paul Gonsalves Recommendations
Another vote for Ellington at Newport. Paul Gonsalves plays one of the best sax solos in the history of recorded jazz music on the famous cut "Crescendo and Diminuendo In Blue." Absolutely amazing ! 
Best sounding integrated between $1500-$3000
I have been extremely happy with my Rogue Audio Cronus (non-magnum "regular" version) for six years now, first driving Vandersteen 1C's and now matched beautifully with Revel F-12's. The sound of music is sublime, and I am a firm supporter of the ... 
How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody?
Hi Mitch .... I never compared the content of MOG vs. Rhapsody. All I know is that to my ears, with my system, in my room ..... Music streaming through MOG sounds considerably better than streaming through Rhapsody, Pandora, and Spotify. 
How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody?
I agree with Sfar..... MOG.com streams music at a much higher quality than Pandora, Rhapsody, Spotify, iTunes radio, etc..... $4.95 a month for unlimited commercial free streaming at 320 kbps ....... almost every album and song you could ever imag...

Upgrade from an original HRT Music Streamer II
Thanks for the comments Mofi ! After reading many really nice reviews of the XDA-2, and considering the amazing price of $249 with free shipping and a 30 day "home audition" policy, I just ordered it direct from Emotiva. I'm pretty psyched about t... 
Vandersteen Treo's
My Vandersteen 1C's got along incredibly well with my Rogue Audio Cronus integrated amp. For the extra power needed by the Treos, how about considering the new Rogue Audio Pharaoh or the Cronus Magnum ? 
Happy music...
Jimmy Buffet ..... his music always puts me in a happy mood.Feeling down and need to smile ? .... Listen to "Cheeseburger in Paradise." 
Best budget cables for tube amp
For what it's worth .......My Rogue Audio Cronus integrated amp connects to my Rotel RCD-1072 CD deck with AudioQuest King Cobra IC's, and my Revel F-12 speakers connect to my Cronus amp with Paul Speltz anti-cables speaker wire. The sound of musi...
