LOUD popping Rogue Magnum
Thanks for all your advice. It’s as I suspected. It’s going back to the shop this morning. This was not an error by Rogue’s part. I left the amplifier on far too long. Can’t do that with tubes! 
LOUD popping Rogue Magnum
Thanks Erik. I’ll try that fan idea next. The pop noise is coming from both channels at the same with equal intensity.  For no reason except that, in particular, I suspect Power Supply.  You?  Change the PS caps?Michael 
LOUD popping Rogue Magnum
@bjesien Nothing else is different except that I left the tube pre on, too long, and something overheated.  I would be willing to replace the  Power supply Caps (15-20 years old) myself if someone could tell me the that is probably the real proble... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
Silly you. I’ll grant you it’s probably the not the best format for a modern audiophile.  It is however a very useful tool in the recording studio.  It’s far too fussy for someone who just wants to throw on a CD and sit back. I play 99% vinyl - ea... 
Reel to reel
I purchased an R2R on eBay for $1100, a nice Revox B77.  Plugged it in operated for about 30 seconds before a 7-Up can inside the unit opened (pitsssstt) and smoke came out of the top of the unit. UGG!  The seller gave me $300 to keep it. I invest... 
Turntable options
 Many cartridges and TT/arms have been mentioned here. Please get a TT/arm and cartridge that work together for Resonance. Combine a stiff arm with a compliant cartridge. Combine acompliant arm with a non-compliant cartridge....guessing that’s why... 
LSA Customer Loyalty & Mixed Feelings
LSA was sold to Underwood Audio.  Larry moved on to a new company making new products-about a year and a half ago or more. Probably not a marketing ploy, but a reduction of stock and product. “LSA” sells only speakers now.  Was what you saw a new ... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
 I’ve been studying electronics and simple circuits. I bought and assembled an $18 DIY speaker kit. It worked first time! It was my first assembly. I wasn’t perfect, before turning it on and I noticed that a 10k was in the wrong place. It was hard...

Hole not whole. I want to learn about amplifiers

Why can’t people stay focused? Ramtubes started this discussion about amplifiers and it looks like it fell into the cable whole again! Start your own thread about cables of any different kind and stay out of the ones that have nothing to do with it! 
Am I asking too much?

Turntables
++1paulcreedThere are a couple reasons you could be experience that from your LPs in-addition to what paulcreed stated. Firstly, some vinyl is just plain better. It depends on how it’s pressed when it was pressed, the label it’s on, etc. Were thos... 
Turntables
HiWow! Advice is all over the place with regard your question! Looks like MANY did not read the post where you said you bought a table and cartridge. I don’t know anything about either of choices. Here’s my advice, having nothing to do with what y...
