Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners

Mark O. contacted me and said they are now drilling a hole in the outboard power supplies and are providing "corks" for the hole.Fill the power suppy with sand and it makes an already quiet tube preamp into a super quiet tube preamp.Mark said it reduces floor and tube noise.You guys that have a "older" Rogue can do this your self.Just make sure you remove the cover first so you dont drill through something kind of important!!! Contact Mark if you need some assistance.I havent done mine yet but will soon.

David you can also send your unit back for the hotrod setup for the rogue, I talked to Mark and I `ll send mine back today, I`ll try the sand thing to, here is another if you have tried it yet. Buy the Cardas covers for the unused jacks on the back of the pre-amp you won`t believe how much quiter the thing gets.You can also wrap the tubes in lead and run a ground wire from it to chassis ground.

For all you owners of the Rogue 66 there is a hot rod setup for these units contact Mark about them, he says the unit is much better than you would ever thought. Greg

i'm surprised rouge was so late coming up with this "tweak/upgrade." i've been pouring sand into all my electronics for years. it does seem to have a "gritty" effect on cd replay, tho. ;~)
