Rogue Owners Unite

Mines an Atlas..... almost a Magnum. Made by Mark special for Quad ESL57s. I'm so happy. Tried a dozen or so other amps. Nothing has even come close in my system.

Hello, does anyone find that the atlas magnum amp produces a hum through the speakers when paired with the kt120s? I just put these tubes in my titan atlas magnum and there is a hum through the speakers even with nothing else plugged in. I didn't notice it with the kt90s. I use a fairly cheap power strip with audioquest power and speaker cables and dynaudio excite x16s. When the preamp is also plugged in the hum does not fluctuate with volume control. Is this a ground loop or noise from the amp? Can it be quieted? Thanks.

It's probably a ground loop hum. I had something like that on the same amp (as well as many others) and a cheater plug (3 prong into 2 adapter on the AC cord) solved the issue. Try the amp first, then the preamp and so on.

Good luck.

Thanks, Joeinid. I tried that and it didn't fix the hum. I think it is the just the amp. I can't hear the hum from my listening position. I've read that tube amps commonly do make some sound through the speakers.

Happy Listening!
