Rogue 100 dark

I found the Rogue had a tubey sound just not that older classic tube sound. Rolling in better 12au7 and 12ax7 improved it a lot. Well at least it did on the stock ST100 and not Dark. Like the above poster mentioned look at your setup. The ST100 is a very nice amp with plenty of power.

Not familiar with the Dark version but enjoyed the ST100 for few years mostly in Triode mode. Toggle switch in the back. Give it a shot. 

this amp has great nos tubes including the mullards you speak of. I think my setup is fine. At least it is using the cary ss amp. Power is not the issue here. It just lacks the subtleties in the mids. i am using it with the switch in the down position. I have not tried it in the up position. I'll try.

I think up is Ultralinear and down is Triode. 
The ST100 is quiet for a tube amp. It is a pretty neutral amplifier and won’t be syrupy sweet. The midrange is natural and glare/grain free. I had great results with Gold Lion12AX7 and 12AU7. Overall the “base” ST100 is a great value. Especially once you change the stock JJs out for something better. 

ultimately I am not satisfied with the Rogue. It is not the quietest. Rogue makes nice products. this amp just lacks the tubey sound. Maybe I should post asking for a 75 wpc tube amp that will give me that tubey sound.
