| I changed a Tube and… NOS ( new old stock vintage tubes) are expensive relative to new production but in my experience the sound quality is far superior. Brent happens to be the most reasonable priced NOS tubes. He has a vast knowledge of what tubes work best in spec... | |
| I changed a Tube and… I have a set of NOS preamp tubes I used for 2 months before I sold the Rogue Cronus Magnum II. I bought them from Brent Jessee of AudioTubes.com. 3 Mazda 12au7, 2 GE 7025 (12ax7) $450 The change from stock was extremely dramatic in all aspects... | |
| Validation I don’t need validation from anyone else. Did I put together the system for them or me. I try to keep my ego in check. It’s always cost me money when it shows up | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? The Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix 1968 in St. Louis | |

| Integrated amp for tube lover I have experience with Rogue Cronus Magnum and PrimaLuna EVO 400. Both are very good tube integrated amps out of the box. Put in NOS preamp tubes and they up 3-4 levels in all round performance. | |
| Financial Limits of Tube and Op Amp Rolling This is my experience. when I had the Rogue Cronus Magnum I swapped out all the preamp tubes with the help of Brent at Brent Jessee Recording, look him up on line. I spent $467 on 5 NOS tubes from the ‘50s and ‘60s. The sound of the amp changed ... | |
| KT88 Tubes I am a KT88 fan over EL34 or KT120. I’ve tried 3 new production brands in my PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated and Rogue Cronus Magnum. Can’t afford NOS. I like the Gold Lions best but they can be bright depending on what preamp tubes are used. The... | |
