Rogue Audio Tempest II Upgrade
There is no Super Magnum upgrade so that was a definite a mistake lol. Anyway, what are the obvious differences from any magnum upgrade from the base model. Do you think its worth it? 
Marantz SA-11S1 Drawer Will Not Open Properly
Thanks ET I will try that. 
Marantz SA-11S1 Drawer Will Not Open Properly
Bdp24 your player replicates what mine is doing? I can hear it wanting to open but will not unless manually helped. It closes just fine. Where in the player is this gear and I will order it?

Theo I tried unplugging and pressing the Faceplate buttons and no luck. I will try unsnapping the drawer faceplate. Thank you!Sam

Theo it opens on its own when I manually assist and closes without any hitches. The disc also plays with no errors. I will try to unplug and press all the buttons and see if that helps and try to report back this evening. Thank you very much. 
McCormack DNA 225 or Mark Levinson No.27
I have never heard the 225 but owned both 27 and 27.5. The 27.5 is more open and detailed with better top end extension and better bass than the 27. The 27 is more laid back but still a fine amp.

OK now I see the posts above which explains it. 
kt77 vrs kt120 in Rogue M180s
I knew someone would ask that question lol. I should have noted when I bought my Tempest it came with 2 sets of KT88's and the seller didn't know how old they were. He didn't think one set was that old but I blew 2 tubes and the bias was set dead ...

Reynolds makes a good point. I blew 2 EH KT-88 tubes in my Tempest II and called up Mark at Rogue and bought a matched quad of EH KT-90's. No more problems. 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
I totally agree with Invenio78. 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Being "thrifty" is maybe part of the reason they can afford to pay market prices but don't.So I guess you condone this practice? 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Yes I notice low ball offers a lot. What kills me is guys who make plenty of money and can afford to pay market price or there abouts still make stupid low ball offers. This happened to me about 3 years ago and it turned out to be a Doctor who liv... 
Conrad Johnson pf-r
Yes. I had a PF-2L back in the day and no on/off switch. With solid state best to leave them on. 
Levinson 23.5 - I think I need a new toy.
Well I never found any of the ML amps to sound dark. I find them neutral or true to the source. I have owned the 27, 27.5 (step up from 27 and sounds more extended), 334.5, and ML-29 (sweet 50 wpc amp). There are a lot of ML haters here so take ad... 
Class D with Tyler Acoustics
Why don't you call Ty and ask if he has used Class D with any of his speakers. I'm pretty darn sure he has used Bel Canto with success.
