Primaluna and Rogue
Thanks for all the great feedback. I'm amazed at how beautiful the amp sounds. It's going to make the winter months that much more enjoyable. As I don't know much about tube amps, I was wondering if you could answer a question. If I pull the power...

Electro-Harmonix KT90EH is the power tubes that came with the Cronus. The pre-amp tube is a Sylvania. I can't tell what the other two 12au7's and 12ax7's are right now without removing them. I know they're whatever came with it from Rogue. All the...

Sounds great. I'll post back here after I receive the unit. Thanks for the information. I know nothing about tubes besides the fact that I enjoy the sound immensly. What are the 4 large tubes? I know some tubes last a long time and some don't. Whi...

Sogwood. That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. As you can imagine, It's pretty tough waiting. I took Monday off of work just to listen to tunes all day.

I have no idea but I can let you know. Is that information printed on the glass? This is my first step into tube gear. I need a lesson.

Rogue Cronus Magnum 
Primaluna and Rogue
Thanks Learsfool. I love my NAD to death. It's actually the only amp I've even had that I will always hold onto and service because it's a great back up. I have a Rogue Cronus Magnum coming from Agon and I'm psyching myself up for it.

Sorry to jump in like this. Being someone without tubes, would a Rogue Cronus sound brighter than my 12 year old NAD integreated? My NAD doesn't sound bright at all, but would the Rogue be bright in comparison? 
Stereo reciever / integrated amp suggestions?
I fully agree with Tpreaves recommendation of the NAD. NAD actually saved my life recently, when it got pulled out of storage to fill in for some more expensive electronis that just wasn't working well for me. My face still hurts from smiling when... 
Tube Preamps
I see you can buy that cable at Walmart. What did you terminate on the end? 
Tube Preamps
Wow!! Great responses from everyone and they are greatly appreciated. I will try the different toe ins first, being they are the easiest and least expesnsive. I will post my findings.

I have hardwoods with a huge area rug centered in the room. I have thought about NAD separates, and may go that route. I'm just trying to research all my options. I can't afford to replace everything right now so I've made the decision to keep the...

Thanks Bob. I e-mailed B&W in the U.S. to see if they can get me the graph. I wonder if my new Rotel RB1582 would sound good with a tube pre-amp? I currently have it for sale on Audiogon because the Rotel amp and pre-amp sound so bright and ca...

Thanks Bob and Superwolf. Bob, that information helped me out and I appreciate you taking the time to post it for me. I've been at my wits end lately, knowing that I messed up bad with the system I purchased this year. Hopefully I can get on track...
