Tubes for Rogue Pre's
I had a rogue 66 Magnum and used NOS Mullard 12au7s with great results. I had them tested for high gain from tubedepot.com They produced a very warm & wide soundsatge. I currently have a Rogue Tempest II, and am thinking about getting a 66 or ...

Rogue Cronus vs. Tempest II?
right now I have the stock EH KT88 power tubes. i switched to the EH 6sn7 driver tubes. As for the 12ax7 input tubes they change several times a week :) I have had best results w/ NOS Mullard box plates, but they are kinda pricey. The stock Sovtek... 
Rogue Cronus vs. Tempest II?
The T II does 60wpc in triode & 90 in ultralinear mode. The sound in triode mode is wonderful, very detailed & ohh so smooth. Ultralinear mode loses some detail but is great for loud listening. The TII has more bass than the Cronus thanks ... 
Rogue Cronus vs. Tempest II?
I had a Cronus for about 2 weeks, I wasnt sure how a 55wpc integrated would handle my B&W N804s. It handled them in style, I was very impressed with the Cronus, so much that I went ahead and snagged a Tempest II. The cRonus is a great unit, sw... 
Rogue M-150
Iaxelrod-How long have you been using the GT's? I have a Tempest II as well & just got a pair of the GT's today. Out of the box the seemed nice but I did notice not as much bass compared to the LPS's and some NOS Mullard box-plates I have been...

Rogue Tempest II tube rolling
Thanks for the input! I rolled some Mullard 12ax7 box plates & noticed a wonderful change in teh sound, bass is much deeper & soundstage is wider than with the Sovtek LPS stock tubes 
Life beyond Jolida?
Give the Cronus a try. I picked one up over the weekend used & it is a excellent unit! I was using a mcintosh MA-6900 solid state integrated that was 200 wpc, and the Cronus at 55wpc is just as good, if not better. Right now im running the sto... 
Suggestions for bang for your buck speaker cables
Emerson-I use Luminous Audio Renaissance speaker cables www.luminousaudio.com they are reasonably priced cables. If you want to bi-wire you will need 2 runs per channel as they be can't be bi-wired internally. I have put these cables up against An... 
Musical Fidelity A3.2 v. tubed CD players
Phil-Thanks for your input. I have a Jolida JD 100 on the way that should be here today. The only mod that has been done to it is some soundcoating being added. It has some RCA tubes that come with it & I have some Ei gold pins on hand so im l...
