| Phono Cable Breakin OK, got my cable in, put 60 hours on them via a comb o of TV and garage stereo. Listened last night, sounded wonderful. Not sure if it did anything, or If could even hear it, but was able to sit back and just enjoy instead of listening for somet... | |
| Integrated SET... I'm going to give a thumbs up to Triode Lab and Frank. I have a set of 97db efficient speakers and recently purchased the 2A3 EVO integrated amp. I am absolutely floored at what I am hearing, every detail to the song, authoritative bass and airy h... | |
| can you please help me around how to use my first tube amp? I have had 3 (Tempest, Perseus, ST-100) Rogue products, all excellent, so you should be happy.

| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question That is a pretty cool choice, I was gonna build that one and then decided against it as I had a hard time with the non-90-degree cuts as I did struggle with that on the gluing side on my center channels, I had to do a redo and went square. My adv... | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question I did this. My Take 1) I wouldn't even consider going down this path without a proved speaker design from a reputable designer. 2) It is more about the integration of the speaker drivers and the voicing of the crossover than just picking drivers... | |
