| Mid grade Integrated amp choices Ayre AX-7. The 7-series is being discontinued, so you should find good deals on new or dealer demo. | |
| Tube Rolling for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 2 It may be aging, or it may not measure well. Do you know any of history on it? For $10 more, Upscale sells a specially tested one for CJ and Rogue preamps.Also, has anybody tried using a Brimar instead of a Mullard on the pre-amp socket? I keep... | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? Lower the bias a bit before installing. Then, when warmed up, check the bias again and adjust to the recommended level. | |
| Tube Rolling for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 2 CMII owner here. First I tried new Genelex Gold Lion 12AU7's and 12AX7's in all five slots. A little bit better, but not night and day. So then I got an Amperex Bugle Boy 12AU7 from Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services, and that also is better.... | |
| ARC VS-115 6550's or KT120's This is only semi-relevant, but whatever.My Rogue CMII came with the Tung-Sol KT120s. After I little while I splurged on a matched quad of Genelex Gold Lion KT-88s. The 120s are now back in the CMII: more power/punch, more bass extension, and th... | |
| I’d appreciate opinions from RMAF 2017 Show attendees on the Elac Adante AF61 Over on A-Circle somebody characterized them as slightly soft, so even more than usual an in-person audition will be mandatory. | |
| Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? Anyone been to the CPT/Equi=Core room? | |

| Why we upgade I think, therefore I upgrade. | |
| Why we upgade It's an itch that sometimes you just can't help but scratch. | |
| Classe closes Montreal operations Whatever holding company that actually owns B&W bought Classe a number of years ago. Quite obviously with the goal of providing a single audio purchasing experience from source to speaker. I date their gradual decline from them. Before, Cla... | |
| Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson? Just to expand on that point: I first heard the Liszt's driven by the solid-state 60W integrated from Ayre. And they sounded great. They sounded better, needless to say, when we moved up to the more powerful and much more expensive AX-5. Now as... | |
| Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson? To my mind the VA Lizst's were right down the middle. They didn't sound forward or recessed, tipped up or bassed down. Heard them in a medium-sized room. They certainly didn't overwhelm (volume control) but there was clearly a lot of oomph left... | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? Rogue Cronus Magnum II if you want integrated, otherwise look for a Stereo 100 if you just want power. |
