Does your amp sound hum....when your ear close it
My Rogue 120 magnums hum; I spoke to Mark and he said this is not unusual for tube amps.You have to be very close, and it has to be very quiet to notice.KP 
to cut or not to cut: help
Stehno, looke here:http://www.acmeaudiolabs.com/share your experienceKP 
thoghts about isolation.
Theaudiotweak, I am interested in thsi remark:"There are products that collect spurious noise, those generated both internally as well as externally and speed their exit to ground."Can you elaborate? I have hum/RFI issues.KP 
Rogue Owners Unite
I agree with David99! Don't panic, it's probably a fuse. You might also want to check the internal fuses, if it has any.KP

Bradz, I second Buckingham's request.KP 
What is the most decadent, most self indulgent--
As far as 'decadent' in the true sense of the word...I'd say the convertible sofa bed sitting in front of the stereo.KP 
How long the most you have listened to music...
Without a break?Maybe 8 hours or so?We'll start at, say 9pm and sometimes go through until 5am.Slink-e means: no time wasted looking for/changing cd's.KP 
Wife stepping on speaker wire
Tell her the current in the wire will damage her shoes!That should make her more careful!KP 
Rogue owners what speakers do you like?
M-120 Magnums driving VSR VR-4's; excellent soundstage/imaging. Nice detail. Very well controlled bass.Plenty of volume, too.KP 
Rock musicians with musical education.
College/University educted rockers used to be the norm.KP 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
1. 2001 Lexus GS4302. Will think about when I need to, proabably another Japanese battlecruiser3. Will think about when I need toKP 
New DAC or Upgrade exisiting CD Player
You can always get the DAC modded.It'd probably make a bigger difference than the upsampling.Or get the apgraged power supply.Or both...KP 
The road to insanity...
Thank you all for the words of support.What scared me was that I'd made more changes in the last three months than I had in the last 10 years (or more, really).Heck, I was questioning my sanity. Sure, it sounded great but does everyone go this fas... 
Wouldn't it be great if...
AA has an excellent Inmate Systems utility.Post gear, music, pics of rooms. All these things would help put questions/remakrs in conext, but it'll let memeber get to know each other better.Something along those lines would be excellent.Here's mine... 
anyone else daisy chain "jitterboxes"?
My expereince was also positve. There was greater smoothnes to the higher frequencies, a drop in 'edgyness' or 'glare', and in particualr vocals became clearer.KP
