@thirsty93 - I recommend reaching out to Brent Jesse for NOS tubes. Those Gold Lion tubes are not optimal. |
@bluethinker what do you base this on? Do you have the same ST100 by Rouge? Just wondering what you opinion is based on, fact, or innuendo?

I have two tube amps: Conrad Johnson and an Audio Hungary. The gold lions were stock tubes that came with the AH amp. Based on some recommendations, I went the route of NOS tubes. There was a clear sonic upgrade when I replaced the new gold lions. It’s an investment, but worth it in my book. Of course, it’s possible the Rogue is a completely different amp, but I’d bet NOS tubes would bring an improvement. |
