Rogue 100 dark

I say go class A and screw the tubes...use a tubed phono stage and or a dac with tubes to give some tube coloration.....this is what I've done, Sugden Pure class A integrated combined with a Tavish design classic tube phono stage and the Border Patrol r2r dac....to me sounds very tuby & groovy man..

too bad I just sold 8 golden dragon kt88 with broken alignment pins but tubes were fine. the Golden dragon would be a step in the correct way.

But you may just want to look a More tubby sounding amps, BAT maybe?

Bat is certainly one of my choices. I bought a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 gen 2 from an audio reviewer and she was using a Bat 75se with them.In addition if I do buy a bat amp I know there are a lot of good preamp choices.

For some reason and I may be wrong but I don't think the KT tubes are the way I want to go.
