Rogue 100 dark


I am listening to a Rogue 100 dark amp that a friend loaned to me. Am I right or wrong thinking this amp really has no tube sound? So what would sound more tubey at 75 plus wpc? I know you're going to ask so I might as well say up front.

With a SLP-98 and proper speaker placement in a good room, you should have everything you need. The benefits of tubes happens after you have everything else sorted out. I'd look at setup rather than gear. 

I found the Rogue had a tubey sound just not that older classic tube sound. Rolling in better 12au7 and 12ax7 improved it a lot. Well at least it did on the stock ST100 and not Dark. Like the above poster mentioned look at your setup. The ST100 is a very nice amp with plenty of power.
