| 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... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @mulveling Thanks for sharing your experience. I was thinking Brent Jesse, but I will definitely check out Arizona Tube Supply. In the Rogue RP-1 I rolled everything from Mullards to high grade Telefunkens. Same with the single input tube in my Ha... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @decooney Hi , thanks for the advise. I have no idea how much time they ran after the repair. They installed new resistors, Hexfred diodes, new caps in addition to MORE caps. You can see massive pairs strapped to the chassis on the inside edge. P... | |
| Hum in my system; its the turntable R and L interconnects. Huh? Did this just start one day randomly? You mentioned your repair prior to this happening. As mentioned above cable shielding was an issue for me. I have a modded Thorens with a Grado Prestige cartridge. When I hooked it up I lacked a good pair of c... | |
| Upcoming Trip +1 on the Sony’s, but I have not compared. My wife had 5 pr that were unwanted by her employees, so I took a pair for traveling. In addition to flying I take them on my multi day tuna trips. The bunks are down below and those engines drone for hou... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @mulveling @decooney @hiend2 @big_greg Well my amps came home today. UPS had them on their side using a 2 wheeler in typical UPS style. Anyway they received the Dark upgrade and have all new tubes. I took the Hera out of the box and set it all ... | |
| Hum in my system; its the turntable R and L interconnects. Huh? Could you eliminate the power ground by using a cheap 2 prong wall adapter. Or use an extension cord to power the TT from another circuit ? | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Hi , it looks like the conversation has split into 2 directions. One about modding your amp, and the other regarding tube rolling. I don’t have your amp, but here’s my thoughts. Better signal tubes will improve the SQ, but they’re expensive and yo... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? In my modest system I use MFSL - Supertramp Crime of the Century and Pink Floyd DSOTM, because I like that type of music. I also will use Chris Isaak material because of the way it’s recorded. I particularly like his cover of Orbison’s “ Only the ... | |
| Which tubes to buy Greetings , I have Rogue gear but here’s my experience over the last 2 weeks. I sent a pair of M-180’s back to Rogue for a repair and upgrade to the “ Dark “ level. The fee for this was $2495 and comes with new signal tubes ( 3 per amp ). They no... | |
| How stereo changed our lives. That was cool, thanks. If I’m not mistaken music was mixed for our stereo needs and another version was mixed specifically for AM radio. | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? If I may ask an additional question, I’m not trying to hijack your thread. Of the NOS Mullard 12AX7 tubes , is there much ( any? ) difference in the sound characteristics of the sound. I just picked up a pair of tube mono blocks and they each take... | |
| New Rogue RP-7 Preamp I’ve had the Rogue RP-1 for years and currently have the Hera. I’ve rolled about 8 different pairs in the RP-1. The stock JJ’s were my least favorite. I tried Mullards as mentioned above and it sounded like someone threw a blanket over my system. ... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Good evening gentlemen, here’s the latest on the M-180’s. I sent them both to Rogue with a memo to repair/ upgrade/ retube/ return. That’s a lotta R’s 😆. Anyway I received a call yesterday and they were repaired. The one that malfunctioned had a b... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I have both so I don’t care about the never ending SQ comparison. That being said I do a lot of driving and use an IPhone connected with an Audioquest cable. Siri is not supported by Qbuzz, so that limits what I use outside of the house. |
