Pairing streamer
I also have a Pulse Mini W/LPS. IT MUST BE HARDWIRED to your router. Be sure if you have multiple routers and multiple frequencies like I do, be on the correct one. Log into your router to see the Pulse Mini, and run setup. If it’s your “ End Poin... 
Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s
Gentlemen, again thank you for spoon feeding me. About 2 days after the amps came back, I pulled the 4 JJ 12AU7’s and threw in a quad of Seimens nickel plates. I have a quad of Tekefunken G-73 R’s yet to try. Unfortunately my RCA’s and Mullards , ... 
Any Advantages To A Streamer In My Situation
My computer building friends used to say it’s all X’s and O’s, but it’s way more. In my mid Fi system I went from Windows , to a Project streamer and now an Innuos. Each time my SQ improved, also with cabling. There are huge improvements to be had... 
McIntosh mono amp red light flashes after a couple hours
I’m sure others with significantly more knowledge will follow, but here’s my thoughts. First off, this is not good and needs to be remedied fast. Are you at a moderate or high volume ? Dim the lights and see if a tube LOOKS RED. Switch all the tub... 
Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s
@hiend2  Hi , how’s it going? So about 5-6 days ago I put a primo pair of Tekefunkens in the 12AX7 spot. They’re NOS , but they definitely needed some time. The amps had about 100 hours on them with the new tubes plus the upgrade. They are settlin... 
Upcoming Concerts?!
This thread has me listening to the Cowboy Junkies , and it’s been a bit thanks. My CD’s are packed away and I wanted to listen to the 4 song EP from ‘92. Neither Qbuzz or Tidal offer it, bummer. Now I’ve got to dig out that darn CD. That was a to... 
Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?
@ raysmtb1, I’ve been a friend of Bills since 1989, however current date is 9/29/97, so I understand 😎 . My opinion is this is a hobby , and we work at it, and we pay a price to do so. I’m getting too old to do some of my other activities like sno... 
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
   Yes , I’d upgrade too. Going from the RP-1 will be a big step up in performance. The higher quality pre’s with balanced in/out will put you on an entirely different level. As far as tubes it’s  personal taste. FWIT Rogue has always recommended ... 
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
  You have gear that is above your RP-1, so that’s an issue. I am curious as I have an RP-1, have you changed the two 12AU7’s ? A nice pair of Tekefunkens will make a huge improvement. I also recently acquired a mint condition Hera. The Russian Su... 
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
Thank you for your post , as the 888’s have caught my interest. I just received a pair of Rogue M-180’s from the manufacturer with the DARK upgrades. I have them paired with the Hera pre. I’m currently breaking them in with JBL 4312A’s. However I’... 
Most recent concert
  My wife took me to Collective Soul in Las Vegas in January. I’ve seen them 2 times prior , but it’s been 20 years. They absolutely rocked , as they always have. The Eagles were playing next door at the Sphere, but we opted for Collective Soul as... 
Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi?
Hi, I grew up with with mid Fi in the 70’s. When I stopped I had a Sansui 9090 and JBL’s , Pioneer TT and a mediocre cassette deck. Years later I got the bug and did a mid Fi surround system , Yamaha , Klipsch, Oppo. About 10 years ago I wanted to... 
Stream Tidal to Oppo BDP-105?
  I have the Oppo 105 and I’ve streamed Tidal. I used the included Wi-Fi dongle and ran it using the Oppo app ( it’s blue ). It was a few years ago and I was transitioning from a laptop to a dedicated streamer. I also used it for my headphones. Un... 
Help me mod my tube amp
Mullard Vs Telefunken is kinda like Chocolate Vs Vanilla. It’s personal preference within a particular system. I tend to put 6550’s and KT - 88’s in the same group. I compared the Winged C’s to NOS Tung Sol 3 hole 6550’s and the Svetlana’s were co... 
Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s
@hiend2 Hi , I agree the RCA’s would be an improvement, probably quite significant. My Tekefunkens should arrive in a few days and I’ll replace the new production Tung Sol 12AX7’s. I have the system burning in on the dining room table. I used all ...
