| Classic Rock Quiz I only got 10 right. In my defense, I never listen to the Stones and know nothing about them. | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? Talked to Nick at Rogue today and he confirmed the EL34 tubes do work in the Cronus Magnum. He said I may have to turn the bias pots up to a dozen turns to get the tubes to bias. | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? I already sent Nick an email and stated I would follow up with a phone call tomorrow. | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? The tubes were already on route to my house before I talked to Kevin at Upscale. My only reason for contacting him was because I had received a partial refund for the order. I had ordered the tubes be cryoed and paid the 8.00 per tube. When I got ... | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? AlmargAre you talking the KT120's that are in there now or the EL34B tubes which I removed already? Do you think the EL34's are toast? I should have listened to Uncle Kevin at Upscale, he advised against it. | |

| What Did I Do Wrong? The range on the bias meter is 0 to 100ma.The KT120 tubes use 35 ma and the EL34 tubes use 30ma. | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? I went through all of that. It was distorted sound and no reading at all on the bias meter. The kt-120's I put back in biased fine after that. | |
| GoldenEar Triton One Dave_72Kind of hypocritical aren't you? You sound off on my buying a pair of speakers made in China yet all your equipment is made everywhere but the USA and you have the audacity to justify it by saying you bought it all used.Sounds like the pot ... | |
| GoldenEar Triton One Haven't heard the T2's so can't comment. I am not a fan of B&W speakers in general and I auditioned 2 of the B&W speakers in addition to the T!. I'll sum it up in 2 words: too bright. Too bright with the type of music I listen to which is ... | |
