| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @buellrider97 Happy to hear of your communications with Rogue. They got back to me quickly for the three times I had questions on the Apollos. As for paying for the Dark upgrade, compare the cost of updating your amps to Dark vs. selling your am... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s @buellrider97 - I goofed. No idea why I entered KT90 tubes above. The Apollos came with 12 KT120 TungSol tubes . I saw a tube site a couple weeks ago with a great sale on KT88's. But I thought I'd enjoy the Apollos for awhile before I look to ... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Congratulations on such an exciting gift. I have read a lot of positive comments on the Rogue amplifiers on these forums. Finally, the curiosity got the best of me to try one of these out when a good deal was found on the Apollo Dark monos. I was... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... If you are in Europe, you absolutely must research the Symphonic Line amplifiers made in Germany. | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? What is the rest of your system? Do you use exclusively phono or also spend much time with a digital source? If the answer is the latter, you should focus on the line stage, amp, interconnects, etc., which would benefit all your music playing. ... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm As I read the latest posts here, I see there is much commonality between the Schroeder Ref SQ and the TG tonearms. The Schroeder’s string attaches to the top of the tonearm’s structure. The string’s endpoint attaches directly under the arm tube t... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm @lewm Great technical discussion with much details. Thank you. I don't think @drvinyl01 meant to imply that the arm does not have a pivot point. What he said was, "There is no fixed pivot point." What I think he refers to here is that because ... | |
| Rogue M180 replacement tubes @mulveling Much appreciation from you on your detailed contributions on the preferences of the tubes for the Rogue Audio amps. You mention in this thread the preference of the KT-88 to bring on some midrange magic over the KT-120 which makes the R... | |
| Who remembers California Audio Labs? There are so many hidden treasures from the 1980s / 90s. A handful of years ago, I saw a great deal on a CAL Alpha DAC and had to go for it. And what a find indeed! This is the kind of thing you read about finding at a garage sale or thrift sto... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go @yesiam_a_pirate +1 Oh yes, the ARC VT130. I had this for a few years 1997-2000 or so if I recall. This amp with the LS5 III and Magnepan 3.3 / 3.5 speakers was absolute magic. Romantic is an understatement. Hunted for a pair of VT150s for a ... | |
| Long time lurker looking for HT opinions What is meant by a fast speaker? | |
| Anyone compared Purist Dominus Rev B Ferox and Purist Neptune Luminist power cords ? I had many Dominus B and C power cords 15+ years ago. Great great midrange lushness, musicality, a fairly good bass foundation, but the upper frequencies, especially with the B, were severely lacking extension and detail. Moving on to Stealth, D... | |

| looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable @roxy54 - "Purest" indeed. Thanks mom. 😊. I have not been a user of Purist Audio cables for 15+ years. The product line was lacking resolution and too soft on the top. Rather than spin your wheels on this jumper quest, consider trying a diffe... | |
| looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable Why would you ever want to run the speaker cables to the woofer terminals and then jumper to the high terminals? Don't you want the purist signal to your mids and trebles? And then you want to change to 4-6" silver jumpers serialized with your 8... |
