Rogue Owners Unite

Brad , They cost 383 a pair , these are sounding very good today ,I`m still in the 2x tap, I `m going to try the 2.75x tap later today, you can call Paul and talk to him more about the Zero`s, I will say this if you have a low impedance speaker , you need the Zero`s with any amp SS OR TUBE OR OTL`S its is giving me sound that is well better than I`d hope for. you can e-mail me here ggresham@islc.net

oh, insanity, thy name is audio!

how many of you leave your tubes on all the time? how much tube life do you give up by doing this?

how can I tell a tube is going bad? and if it's a tube in the amp or in the pre?

has anyone tried biamp (2 mono's per side?)

Brad ,I wanted to get back to you about whats going on with the Zero`s in my system, Shit this is great . The amps seem to like the 2.75x taps on the Zero`s driving my Innersound Isis , the speakers already had great imaging ,but now there even better. The resolution is much better as well, I`ve heard more from this setup than I have ever heard before, small details are now much easier hear. You don`t have to strain to hear them, dynamics are much better as well. I have played the drums for 35 plus years, and they sound more real , more like the wood that they are. The drums have more of there own space between them than before, all the instruments now are easier to follow and each has its own place in the sound field. the bass tighten up alot, pitch is better on the lower end than before. I beleive you should look in to these as and up grade to your present system, mine are keepers. Greg

Glad to hear Drumsgreg that you like your zero's! Would I benefit more though by changing my current Odyssey Stratos amp(around 150 w/4 ohm) and going with something like the Innersound esl amp(600w/4ohm) instead of the zero's? For a little more $, I could buy a used Innersound with much more power and sell my Odyssey. What do you think? Also, if the zero's were in my system, would I not use my speaker cables?Thanks in advance for any response!

Brad , I don`t know what kind of speakers you have, so I would not know if the Innersound amp would be better. The Zero`s will reduce power in a solid state amp if you set it up to drive 16 ohms, the whole purpose was to get the amp to see an much easier load from the speaker to the amp. The Rogue sounded better driving my Innersounds at 11 ohms instead of the 4ohms taps. I talked to Mark about these and he wants me to send him the web site so he can look into it.
