Audible Illusions Modulus 3 and Rogue M-120 Okay?

and they are well known to go thru tubes at a rapid rate.

AI Preamps do not quickly consume tubes. I've owned the M3 and M3A for a dozen years and only retubed once - not because the tubes were noisy or weak - just to warm the midrange a little. Installed Amperex Bugle Boys. Talk about taking the preamp to the next level...WOW!!

Doesn't the fan drive you nuts on the Rogue 88 ?

Once I get used to noises I'm able to tune them out, so I'm okay with it.

But I can definitely see someone else being driven bonkers.

Rballdude-

How long have the Bugle Boys lasted, and have they been in the M3 or the M3A (or both)?
