Rogue Owners Unite

spudspot,
you may want to think about sending the 66 preamp back to mark at rogue and having the magnum upgrade done at the same time. i personaly run a 99magnum and couldn't be happier, but i've heard that the 66 magged out is not a subtle difference. mark is such a competent owner and all-around nice guy, i wouldn't send my rogue gear to anyone else.
not sure how much of the magnum upgrade would cover your particular damage, but the mag upgrade is about $250.
definitely echo off to others in this thread that have had it done and see what you can expect. this will likely be $$$ well spent.
just my 2 cents
sorry to hear you got burned
but don't give up on the rogue
cheers

Spud- I bet if you send the 66 to Mark he'll take good care of you and the 66.Its well worth the expense.
you paid $700 right? thats $150 to $200 below used prices as far as I've observed.I bet Mark would fix it for well below that amount.
you may even get the deadbeat seller to pay for repair.go after that SOB and don't give up!!
we are all behind you!

Send your pre amp to Rogue for sure. They really are great guys.

Spud,
I too have to agree with everyone else here about the service Mark offers to his customers. I purchused a Rogue 99 and found out that it was considered a "older" model because of some noise coming from the power supply. I was ready to purchuse some of the Russian nos tubes ($80./set) and Mark mentioned the Magnum upgrade which he even offered to me at a lower price. Needless to say, I went for the Magnum upgrade which would allow it to be fully checked out and updated. I agree with others here that you should go for the Magnum upgrade because you too might have a older 66. Good luck and keep us posted.

My Rogue 99 is upgraded to the Magnum and is being shipped to me soon! Man, I can't wait! Mark recommended from 100-200 hrs. of break in. How do the Russian nos tubes sound in the Rogue?
