Hello Rogue Owners. The goal of this thread is to let Rogue owners discuss the tubes they have tried in their amps/preams and discuss other tweeks that have been implemented with success. It would also be nice if you'd post your system components to help us compare notes.
I have heard each of the amps you mentioned. The 180s are quieter and faster than the 150s, and are a significant upgrade. It's been too long since I heard the 120s to comment.
V4s have always been on my short list of wish to own. I had the Quick silfer line stage and KT88s prior to the Rogues Nice Tube sound , compared to rogues "CrossOver" sound . Just ordered the 99 Upgrade and decided on the 180s so we shall see.
The quicksilver was a more traditional "tube" sound Very lush and smooth. The preamp was a bit dull if not matched well (Dynaco st70) But sounded downright exciting with my brothers Onkyo M504 and the Alisons CD9s . I liked them very much but wanted something with a bit more detail and bottom end grunt. would love to try the V4s still.
