| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Kijanki- All valid points that need to be considered in the big picture. My hope is to have a measurement record of the ESR when the equipment is new and monitor the capacitor health as time goes on. | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC La45- Your point is well taken about smaller or "simple" parts. The speed and Efficiency of Capacitors in the Power Supply and elsewhere cannot be overstated. The impedance or ESR of these devices has a stranglehold over the sonic merits of any au... | |
| Did anyone experience Audio Prism's Ground Control Reference Lacee Inquiry about DIY Ground Control. Yes, 5-7/8 inch loop of multi-stranded cable works fine. Seems to have benefit (more or less) on various components. | |
| Pathos Classic Mk 3 Problem, Please Help The Russian made Voskhod 6H23 Rocket Logo is the best tube for this amp period. Friend of mine got these for his Pathos and flipped out at the improvement. | |
| 5751 tubes and Rogue Tempest? 12BZ7 is the ticket. Much better dynamic contrast and safe to substitute for the 12AX7 according to Rogue. | |
| NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II 12BZ7 in place of the 12AX7 gives it much more dynamic punch and is safe to use according to Rogue. The Cryo-treated Gold Lion KT-88 is top tomato for the output tube.I can give no advice on the 6SN7 driver tubes. | |
| Rogue Owners Unite I have a Tempest MKI. Have been using Electro Hamonix tubes without problems for years. I bought a quad set of Gold Lions and they showed red plates after just a few minutes. Everything measures correctly per Rogue and I have checked every resisto... | |
| 5751 tubes in Rogue Tempest? Use a 12BZ7 in place of the 12AX7. Rouge confirmed this is safe to do and the amp sounds way better. Much more dynamic and musical. Been running mine this way for more than a year. Got the idea from Cary folks who often do this on their amps. | |
| Rogue Tempest II tube rolling Use a 12BZ7 in place of the 12AX7 on the Tempest MkI. The sound is fantastic and Rouge told me the Heater Supply would easily support the added current the 12BZ7 requires. This substitution is often done on Cary gear and is where I got the idea. M... | |
| Anyone else own Flatline 175 ribbon speakers? I don't own a pair but a dealer near me (Wilson Audio of New Orleans) almost always has used pairs available in his store. I think they are a great speaker and still hold their own decades later. Just listened to a pair against the Magnepan 1.6QR ... | |
| Anti-Cables and magnet wire Ever hear how they make Oxygen Free Copper? The process is called poling. They take a vat of molten copper and stir it with green pine sapling poles. The wood is consumed burned or slowly because of the sap, As a result the oxygen contained in the... |
