| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out Yes absolutely, once they weigh in I will hopefully either be able to address it at home with fresh tubes or possibly bring it to a local dealer who is able to service the amp if it needs something more serious addressed (and could test it outside... | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out Oh it's a perfectly reasonable suggestion. The truth is tubes are where I started and so I've just been with them ever since, but as I've periodically traded up in the same line, starting at the original Cronus Magnum and eventually the v2 and no... | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out It does not have auto-biasing, but I did test the bias on the power tubes when I had everything opened up and they all tested normally, nothing looked out of the ordinary. | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out Is there any visual check or device to test the age (in terms of usage, not years) of a tube to get a reasonable impression of how far along in it's useful life it actually is? Do they flicker like an old lightbulb when they get old, or burn brig... | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out I emailed rogue all the details as well, they’ve always been good about getting back to me pretty quickly. Just in case they think they know what it is. | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out It is both channels, the sound is the same from each speaker and is not effected at all by turning the balance all the way left or right, it remains equal through both. | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out When a light burns out, I go to the store and get a lightbulb, I'm not living in a bomb shelter full of soup cans. Tubes last for years and can be pricey depending on what they are, so no sense in blowing money just to stick them in a drawer for ... | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out I see, but still sounds like the prevailing opinion is that one or more tubes are failing. Would the procedure for determining which tubes need replacement then be to try powering up the amp with one removed, and check for that sound, and repeat ... | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out This is great info. A simple tube replacement is really the best I could have hoped for. So the test would be to remove it and power up and see if the sound is gone? I just want to confirm that there is no danger to the amp or speakers to powe... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated rick2000: wow, those soul note amps are beautiful. can't say i know anything about them, but they sure look nice. | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated sokogear: my main source is a rega turbtable. I would say i use that for all of my more serious listening. i have a bluesound node streamer for when i just want something in the background while i'm cooking or doing other things. currently ... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated oldrooney: thanks for the thoughtful reply, there is so much to consider. among other things, the room i'm in now is not likely the room i'll be in forever, as it's a rental. i was initially in the market for something more in the range of t... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated ha, i stepped away for an hour and the tide of opinion has turned completely the other direction in favor of integrated amps! i love it. honestly i know there's no right answer, its nice to hear what everyone's personal experience has been thoug... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated seems like for the most part, people feel that while integrated amps have improved considerably in recent years, separates remain the better overall solution for reasons like being able to upgrade single elements in the future without having to sw... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated russ69: thanks, i'll certainly look into Cary. at the moment i'm running the Parasound phono into the Rogue Cronus Magum 3 integrated. i wouldn't necessarily say i have complaints, but down the road if i'm looking to step up, i was just curious ... |
