Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair
Hi , I’m looking for similar type sound. I have 180 wpc tubes and 17’x27’ room, with 17’x17’ listing area. I’m in central California and noticed Upscale has Klipsch, Fyne, Tannoy, MoFi 888’s. Before I buy I’ll probably take a road trip there. Also... 
PS Audio BHK300 didn’t work this morning.
Sorry to hear of your dilemma, unfortunately I can’t offer any help. But I wanted to share an experience I had about 2 months ago. I have a pair of 55# tube mono blocs and one had a failure. I called customer support ( Rogue ) and was advised to s... 
NOS EL34 becoming extinct
One of my amps is a low power SEP from Dennis Had. I purchased a pair of the new production GL KT-77’s from one of the reputable sellers long before there were supply issues. At about the 50 hour mark one failed with a huge pop through my speaker ... 
Is this a meaningful upgrade?
Yes , I want but couldn’t afford the Pulse. I settled for a used Pulse Mini with a LPS. I will be getting the Pulse in the future. I’m old and had JBL L 26 and Century 100’s with Dynaco when I was young. I have a friend with 4311’s and Bryston for... 
Is this a meaningful upgrade?
I checked your system, I’ll literally listening to JBL 4312A’s on Sound Anchor stands as I type. 😆 A long time ago , I went from a Schiit Bifrost Uber Analog to a used first generation Schiit Yiggy. 2 months ago I updated to the Gen 5 usb. For me ... 
Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised?
   I’d replace them. Were they shipped in the factory boxes ? I’d file a claim and ask for replacement costs. If they were in boxes and were hit hard enough to dent the dust caps , I’d be concerned about cone and voice coil alignment. Wishing you ... 
NOS EL34 becoming extinct
Try to find some Svetlana Winged C’s. Last I saw they were $100 Ea. They are fabulous. I trade tubes with a friend and he loaned me some Winged C 6L6, they were really nice too ! He’s a guitar guy , not a stereo fan. He stocked up on NOS Mullard F... 
Pre Amp Question. Old or New?
Call Rogue on the phone and talk to Bill. He has the 100 Dark paired with small Maggie’s and loves it. I did not inquire as to which pre he has. He commented that the Dark upgrade on the 100 made a huge difference. I have the RP-1 with the absolut...

Sound quality differences in streamers
Ah the old computer phrase “ It’s only X’s and O’s. The power supply makes a difference, the clock makes a huge difference, and there’s noise rejection. Even cables make a difference. I have a nice resolving Mid Fi setup and I can tell a huge diff... 
Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ?
  Sorry but I have to call BS that tube rolling doesn’t matter. I have 3 pairs of new production JJ12AU7’s in my never going to use drawer. Within those JJ’s I have the plain and the gold pin. I just spent $3K to have my Rogue M-180’s brought up t... 
Speaker choice without need for deep bass
The Acoustic Zen Adagio Jr would meet your requirements but not your price point. However there’s a pair on EBay from an estate sale with damage to the enclosure on one of them. And since it’s an estate sale have they been tested ? They look a bit... 
Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice
Hi , I have both Tidal and Qbuz, both are good but I use Tidal more and Siri supports it. I went from a laptop to the Project Stream Box Ultra II, then to the Innuos Pulse Mini with LPS. I use Cardas Clear and Starlight Platinum for usb. The Proje...
