Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners


Mark O. contacted me and said they are now drilling a hole in the outboard power supplies and are providing "corks" for the hole.Fill the power suppy with sand and it makes an already quiet tube preamp into a super quiet tube preamp.Mark said it reduces floor and tube noise.You guys that have a "older" Rogue can do this your self.Just make sure you remove the cover first so you dont drill through something kind of important!!! Contact Mark if you need some assistance.I havent done mine yet but will soon.

For all you owners of the Rogue 66 there is a hot rod setup for these units contact Mark about them, he says the unit is much better than you would ever thought. Greg
i'm surprised rouge was so late coming up with this "tweak/upgrade." i've been pouring sand into all my electronics for years. it does seem to have a "gritty" effect on cd replay, tho. ;~)
david99: didya happen to see the ;~)? that means my post wasn't intended to be serious. fact is: i wouldn't intentionally allow a speck of dust to enter any of my components, let alone sand. the whole idea of this "tweak" makes me think that rouge gear is just a little past the outer edge of "mainstream." hey, you like it, go for it. just don't let your cat know.
not sure what you mean by Rogue being on the outer edge of "mainstream" but if its a negative hit about Rogue products then I guess you havent heard any.If the sand improves the performance of the power supply than I see nothing wrong with that.Many products are "Tweaked" and altered for better performance.The sand lowers the heat build up in the power supply thus lowering noise floor.Sounds worth a try to me.cornfedboy,Im not sure what your reply was intended for but I saw it just as a chance to make a negative crack about a very fine product.I have to give your post a big fat negative vote! Oh and :)
