Rogue Owners Unite


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.

Drumsgreg, so if I was to upgrade my 66 to the Magnum version and with the mod you mentioned to use the other tube, would the cost be $250. or more? I've been pretty happy with my 66 so far and haven't done any tube rolling so, I think the upgrade to the Magnum 66 instead of going to a 99 would cost less and worth a try. I noticed on your sales feedback that you use to have Maggies and sold them to someone. Did you happen to have the 1.6qr? I'm using:Cary 303/100 cdp->Coincident cst ic.->Rogue 66 stock->Coincident cst ic.->Odyssey Stratos w/ cap upgrade->AP Oval 9 biwired->Magnepan 1.6qr. I've also considered adding a Rel sub with the maggies and think that it might be a better upgrade than going from the 66 to a 99. What would you think?
Nice thread, all Greek to me right now, but I'm getting a pair of M120 Magnums to replace the defunct Spectron M2 so it'll eventually all make sense.
Let's see how this tube thing goes...

KP, as I recall you use Von Schweikerts. The M120 Magnums sound great with my VR5. Think you're in for a treat. Just be careful taking them out of the box - they each weigh 2-3 times a Spectron.
Brad ,I did in fact have the Maggies and they were very good speaker, they didn`t fit the room as well as I wanted {WAF}, you what I mean,plus the low end was not what I wanted either. I sold them and bought Innersound Isis, these are great speakers .I have them also on Audiogon too, to pay upcomming taxes, but have found the money to pay it , so maybe I won`t have to sell them.Now the upgrade will cost $250 I`m sure Mark will do the fuse for you while its up the for the Magnum mod, the tubes will set you back about $30 to $40.The next thing I`m going to do is buy the Zero autotransfomer to help drive my speakers with the Rogue amp, the amp should sound a whole lot better driving a high impedence load than a low one, I`ll let you all know how this turns out. Don`t buy the sub yet, this autofomer may help the bass alot. Greg
That's right Grandpad. Glad to hear your combo works well. I'm really looking forward to these behemoths.
