| Why Are There So Many Used Rogue ST-100's Being Offered For Sale? I noticed this as well and if the ST100 sounds anything like my Cronus Magnum III then it's going to be an incredible piece. I'd like to try one to compare. | |
| KT120 replacement options in a Cronus Magnum II I swapped the KT120 tubes in my CMIII with Gold Lion KT88s and I really like the sound. Seems "fuller" to me. | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? @graphicguy Sorry about your troubles with the Billie folks. After they attempted a repair, did they say if the "hum" was still present? Have you tried the amp at a friend's house or maybe a local HIFI store to eliminate your house as a variable... | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? I fixed it. The left channel output ground wire had fallen out of its terminal block. It's quiet now. :) | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? @daveyf I'm going to not mention the manufacturer right now until I get a chance to speak with them about it. I don't want to cause any issues for them in case the issue is really mine and not theirs. I did try the cheater plug to remove the gro... | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? So I tried a few more things but I'm still getting the buzz/hum. When I touch the ground stud on the back of the preamp (for the phono stage), it goes silent. Maybe I can run an external ground wire? | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? @audio-union I just checked my outlet ground with my checker and it doesn't show any ground faults with the wiring. @imhififan I did a continuity check with my Fluke and it does beep when touching the center ground pin of the power cord an... | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? @audio-union Good idea, I can check with my little plug checker. That outlet may have an issue. | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? @daveyf I really should put more detail when I post. Yes, it is a tube preamp. I did tap on them gently to see if I could detect anything. | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? @atmasphere Yeah that's what it appears to be. I'll reach out to him and maybe he can help me solve it without sending it back for some TLC. | |
| What would cause noise (ground noise?) when touching the volume control and tone controls? @cleeds Ah... it's a "new to me" preamp, but it's a used unit. Fairly new though. @antigrunge2 I don't have a phono setup, just a streamer connected to a DAC and the DAC connected to the preamp. I can reach out to the preamp maker, just wanted... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? He often has speakers for sale but they sell quickly. I have a pair of Super 3 XRS HO towers (may have butchered the model name) and they're my favorite speaker thus far. I run them with a 45 SET tube amp and also a Rogue Cronus Magnum 3. I wou... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? @auroravengeance Thanks for the suggestions, the Nanotec Golden Strada looks interesting. I did a quick search and yeah, they appear to be hard to get. | |
| Gustard R26 I heard a rumor about a version of the R26 without the built in streamer. Any truth to this? I would be interested in a DAC only version for sure. | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? Thanks for the suggestions and tips everybody. I read every post. :) |
