| 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 ... | |
| Tube amp for Sourcepoint 8? FWIT , there is a review of your speakers on the Darko site. They are paired with a Prima Luna integrated. Upscale Audio is involved and sells both Prima Luna and MoFi. It might be worth a call to see what they think. I like a tube pre with a SS a... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Well I’m on day 2 and the harshness is starting to subside. Unfortunately I could not stand the JJ 12AU7’s any longer. Although they’re the gold pin version I just couldn’t take it anymore. I had turned the mid and treble settings on the JBL’s to ... | |
| Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers. Way cool ! Back in the late 60’s my uncle had a pair that resembled those. Also a Harmon Kardon A500 tube integrated and a Gerard TT that was pre 40 B style. If I remember correctly the speakers were “ Sand Filled “. I remember listening to the Be... | |
| McIntosh C8 (new) vs C26/2700 (used) Are you basing your opinion of the Rogue without changing the tubes ? FWIT Rogue is not soft and syrupy. A big part of the SQ with Rogue is JJ signal tubes suck ! Period ! Unfortunately you’ll have to pony up for 4 NOS tubes to realize the full... |
