Gents,
I have spoken with Mark at Rogue and he is very helpful, as you suggest. Mechans, I hear you on the input tubes and have some nice NOS 12au7 and 12ax7 tubes to roll through the amp. I have Cerious Technology GE IC's in my rig so I will live with them.
I have recently heard amazing tube amplification with Don Sach's KT88 amp in my system -- it did everything better than my upgraded McCormack amp. The Rogue amp is not, to my ears, in the same league as the Sachs amp. KT90's are perhaps are perhaps not as linear as the better KT88's.
Thanks again for all your helpful suggestions, they are all appreciated.
