Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
Firmware update worked well and so far so good with sound and use. No problems at all w/ Mac Os Big Sur. It's satisfying that Denafrips/Vinshine looking after existing customers like this. I do think Alvin and his team are very customer focussed ... 
Holographic Soundstage ?
Prior to my tube amp set up I had a couple of well reviewed Krell integrated amps. My own experience was that my Rogue tube amps killed the Krell for (hologrpahic) soundtstage. Made the Krells sound dry and lifeless.Never looked back. Obviously th... 
Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers
LOKI works great for me. I use it most of the time because in my living room my speakers have too much bass despite positioning adjustments and bass traps. So I tame the bass a bit more on many recordings with the LOKI.its easy to defeat During us... 
Recent upgrade to Cronus Magnum
Don’t change all tubes at the same time, so start with say the 12ax7 and live with them for a while.messing around with tubes can also be a rabbit hole. As an owner of several Rogue amps who,s rolled a lot of tubes in them, I am not sure going cra...

Invest in some  super low noise selected NOS pre amp tubes from a serious sellerI got mine from Andy at Vintage Tube services. I can now only hear soft hiss from one foot from tweeter when nothing playing. That’s pretty good, and has zero neg effe... 
Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9
If it’s of any help, I have similar bass issue with my Proac response 2.5’s in a similar kind of room layout.  I have them about 20” from wall which is certainly not optimal. I have bass traps which help a little but on some tracks the bass is blo... 
Which Amp to complete my system?
I love my Rogue Stereo 100, modern powerful tube amp. See recent stereophile review. 
Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ?
I completely agree with another poster - Schiit LOKI EQ at $149 could be the answer. I am very happy with the unit. It will definitely allow you to adjust bass and mid bass and also bring up the mids and highs. Coupled of course with better speake...
