| Roy Orbison's Best Recorded CD's The DCC 24Karat Gold CD "Roy Orbison's All-Time Greatest Hits" is much more comprehensive and sounds far better than the HDCD "16 Greatest Hits" CD. Its a bit pricey but worth it if you are a big fan. BTW I got my first ticket (spinning wheels) at... | |

| Sweetest sounding 12AU7? I just ordered replacement tubes from Rogue Audio for my 66 Magnum version. Rogue highly recommended National's for the 66 line stage. | |
| Rogue 88 problems Scottht makes a good point. Cleaning the tube sockets did not eliminate the arcing right away but it did stop sometime thereafter so that may have had nothing to do with the problem. After reading Scottht's post however it did occur to me that at ... | |
| Rogue 88 problems Pren,Regarding Marakanetz's post, do yourself a favor and try the simple procedures I recommended before you despair. Oxidation and debris build-up have nothing to do with design or build quality. If that doesn't work I would contact Mark O'Brian ... | |

I applied the alcohol with a small spray bottle and used a radial cd cleaning system to remove the haze. ( Allsop markets these cleaners and I... | |
| Long-term Optrix users: any complaints? I have experienced "streaking or hazing" when using Optrix in the past. I was careful not to use scented or otherwise treated tissues as suggested by the manufacturer. When I contacted the manufacturer he speculated that recycled tissue could be a... | |
| upgrading Rogue 88 to Magnum or buy 120 monoblocks When I had the Magnum upgrade done on my Rogue Audio 88 it clearly improved sound staging and tightened up the bass. However, the overall improvement to my Rogue Audio 66 preamp when I had that upgraded to Magnum was even more significant than tha... | |
