I would definitely say try rolling tubes and can the amp use power tubes besides the KT90s?
Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations?
Gents, I need some help here. I am making a move back to a tube amp, in place of my McCormack DNA .05. I just acquired a early version of the Atlas Magnum with KT90's and it sounds excessively bright to my ears. It has stock tubes. I have a Don Sachs preamp driving my Spatial Audio M4 Triode Masters.
I need to tame this brightness to better enjoy this amp. Thanks for any input you can provide.

I would ask Rogue if your amp could safely use the KT120 tubes. I had a Cronus Magnum integrated with 2 NOS Mullard CV4003 input tubes in place of the 12au7 tubes and the Tung Sol KT120 output tubes and it sounded very smooth, not bright. You could use EL34 output tubes and they will give you a more romantic sound. You would need some serious bias adjustment, probably 3 full turns of the control to bias correctly and Roge told me it is normal. |
bdp24These are what I use with the ML Monolith esl's but there are a few new variation today. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnat-Plasma-MP-02-ion-tweeter-massless-air-plasma-speaker-Plasmahochtoner... https://www.lansche-audio.com/products/plasmatweeter/ Cheers George |
