| Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm Rogue Audio has told me in the past to try either 4 or 8 ohm and use whichever sounds best. | |
| Has anybody heard the Whammerdyne Circuit Salad recently? @boxand1 Thanks! I'm still very tempted to give one a try and echo certainly has a great deal on them. | |
| Picture worth a penny LOL!!!! I left a hifi Facebook group because some guy kept posting vids of his feet “toe tapping” while in front of his system. So cringe and so gross. | |
| Taylor Swift Concert Prices I like Taylor Swift, some of her music is really good and well recorded. Just because she's popular doesn't mean she isn't talented. | |
| KT120 replacement options in a Cronus Magnum II @decooney The CM II or CM III are not low current amps. They come with KT120s but can run KT88s per Rogue. | |
| Chord Cutest or Wadia 321 I have a Qutest so I say Qutest. Detail is great, solid amounts of low end and mids are fantastic. | |
| Building a synergistic system. What to buy? You could always try something like an Omega speaker with a First Watt SIT3 or F7. If you're smart with the buying process, you could get these and likely a preamp for less than 5k. | |
| 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. |
