| Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre The switch was probably because the supply of new Philips tubes dried up. They were military tubes from the 1980's. Blue Circle was using them also in the BC21 preamp and BC2 mono blocks. | |
| Good CDP with digital input/DAC capable One of the best bangs for your buck is to find a used Theta Basic.Look here and on eBay. There were a few models (ie, Basic 1,2,3). | |
| Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre I cannot comment on the Rogue 99 specifically, but in other preamps my favorite 6SN7 tubes (most from the 1940s) are:Sylvania 6SN7WThese come in three versions.Two are tall glass bottle (one of those with a metal base)and one short glass bottle.Tu... | |
| whats wrong with ebay? PS: The Paypal account also protects you on the buyer side. You sometimes get recourse through Paypal and secondly as a backup if you use a credit card.So I usually require Paypal for the stuff I sell, and mostly only bid on things I can pay with ... | |
| whats wrong with ebay? You can also "Require" a Paypal account in order for people to bid on your items.Most people on eBay have a Paypal account, so you only lose a few potential bidders. It is very hard to get a bogus Paypal account because of what they make you go th... | |

| Ideal Volume level You need to think of volume in reverse. If you bypassed the volume control you would get loud full blast unrestricted sound. A lot of people would assume no sound. When you have no sound coming out, the volume control is actually on full. All a vo... | |
| Most helpful audio companies Most accomidating is Gilbert Yeung at Blue Circle.He will custom build anything he makes to order whether electronically or cosmetically.You want a purple preamp with lime green volume knobs, and a specific power cord hard wired. Ok with him. | |
| Ideal Volume level There is no magic "o clock". All volume circuits would have to be identical in all gear. Actually, everyone would have to have identical systems.At what volume your speakers perform best is a more likely determinant.Same for your amplifier's output. | |
| B&W Name Change Theory Yes, the speakers are probably Bose, the hardware whatever they usually use depending on car brand. I doubt Bose makes car stereos. They don't directly sell them after market.There are some real nice after market car stereos out there. The Creek C... | |
| B&W Name Change Theory The cars that are hardest to sell are at opposite ends of the spectrum. They are the ones fully loaded with every option (too expensive) and the ones that come bare bones (no options).I can remember getting a deal on a Corolla back the in 80s beca... | |
| B&W Name Change Theory Mark Levinson never made car stereos. He sold the company to Harman International who took one of their Harmon Kardon designs and put a Mark Levinson label on it. Ignoring the fact that HK does make decent car stereos; if you bought a Lexus becaus... |
