| Reducing background fizz and pops on Vinyl. I spent a good deal of money on a mint Japanese copy of Sgt.Peppers.It looked brand new.The first time I played it I was heart broken.I thought for sure it was damamged as the surface noise was unbearable even during loud passages.I cleaned the he... | |
| Best all-around cartridge for 500.00 new The Grado Sonata is a great choice!!!I have found the Grado woodies and the Rega Tables/arms are a great match.The VTA is right on with this combo.I tried 1 then 2 spacers with my Grado and found the best sound is with no spacers.Hum with my 4.5mv... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Philjolet-those Phillips are 12AU7's and decent tubes.Ask Mark what your 6SN7's are.He'd know. | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Buckingham- I dont think the sand tweak would apply to your Tempest.Check with Mark to be sure.Philjolet-That Sovtek 12AX7 is your problem.Get a very low noise NOS for that position in your phono stage.Try a Tungsram SLN=super low noise.This is on... | |

| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? I use David99 cause the F.B.I. wants me.. | |
| Rogue Owners Unite H Mezmo- I drilled the hole on the side down from the Rogue Logo.You dont need a large hole.Just big enough to fit the tip of a small funnel in it.Make sure you take the power suppy cover off before you drill.I found a rubber cork at the hardware ... | |
| Integrated Shootout: Rogue Tempest/Cary Sli80 sig Why do some people have such a problem with the Rega Planet?

| Rogue Owners Unite Welcome Rogue lovers!My 99 came with NOS G.E. 6SN7 line stage tubes.The phono with NOS Jan Phillips 12AU7's and Sovtek LPS 12AX7'sI found the Sovtek 12AX7's a bit bright with some low level tube rush.Being the 12AX7's are in the first 2 positions ... | |
| Which tubes is better. Siemens or Telefunken? A good NOS tube will be very quiet also.They are perfect for phono stages.I have 2 Telefunken 12AX7's in my Rogue 99 phono and the noise floor is almost as quiet as my old Lehmann Black Cube... which is saying alot!! | |
