Rogue Cronus Magnum Tube Rolling
Yes. I would suggest putting a Mazda Cite 12au7 in the center pre amp position. I have it in my Cronus Magnum and it's outstanding. Crisp, clean, clear and a very 3D holographic sound without sounding harsh or brittle.The Cifte is flanked by 2 La ... 
What speakers for 10k?
I'm sure you'll be happy. Ryan is a big NIN fan and the Vapors do really well with your kind of music. 
What speakers for 10k?
Ask anybody with a pair of Joules how they sound. He does in fact use a different crossover and tweeter in that application when he incorporates the transmission line cabinet. Other differences as well but I would leave the details up to Ryan to e... 
What speakers for 10k?
Jughead, I can tell you from experience that the Breeze are awesome. Mine have a ton of upgrades and flat out kick butt. I have a similar sized room and the Vapors really fill it with beautiful sound.Having said that, I too have heard the Auroras ... 
recommend an upgrade lsa statements
I went from LSA signatures to Vapor Breeze. I have heard the Statements and they are nice. LSA makes a very good speaker but the Vapor Breeze are a major, MAJOR step up. 
Bookshelfs budget is $ 2000.
I have the Vapor Breeze. I don't like a hard edged forward sound and I love the Breeze. I think a lot of people hear about the wonderful detail of the Raal and worry that it will be harsh. It is not.Just smooth w tons of detail. I am using VH audi...

Second the Vapor Breeze. Best audio purchase I have made.Compares to speakers costing twice as much. 
Another Cronus Magnum question
I also have the Mazda Cifte in the pre-amp position. It's flanked by late 50's La Radio Technique 12au7's and Mullard 4004 12ax7's.Really nice sound from this combination. 
Best Integrated, period.
Good choice Oblgny. Had my Rogue Cronus Magnum for 5 years and it's not going anywhere.Great amp, company and personnel. Experiment with some tube rolling on the 12au7 and 12ax7's. Mark and Nick can give some good suggestions and I've had great lu... 
Who here loves his/her Rogue Audio Integrated amp?
Can't go wrong with Rogue. Incredible value and sonics. I've had my Cronus Magnum for 5 years and it's the only component I've never considered upgrading.You can really customize the sound of the Cronus with tube rolling. A solid, well made and we... 
Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February
Hate to see tubes covered up. Hotter and not as aesthetically appealing IMO. 
Changing Preamp tubes on a Cronus Magnum?
I have the Cifte in the pre-amp position on my RCM as well. Very nice tube, 3D soundstage is correct. The Cifte is flanked by two La Radio Technique Green Box 12au7's. I have 2 Mullard 12ax7's on the way to replace the new production Tung Sol's in... 
My New To Me Rogue Cronus Magnum Arrived
Yes Rogue recommends 35ma. Congratulations and welcome to Rogue. Had my Cronus Magnum for 4 years, no problems and incredible sound.Remember: Last on, first off. 
"The Breeze"
I like it. A few sleeve scuffs but pretty good sounding. 
VH Audio CHeLA?
Chris told me they will gradually break in till about 400 hours! They continue to impress so it will be interesting to see how much they change. Over a long period it's harder to tell.Was thinking about trying to make or find a used cable cooker t...
