| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? Pick up a MHDT Orchid R2R Dac for $1100 from LTA. It sounds great and is better than my previous PS Audio Direct Stream Dac which lists for $5k. It comes with 4 different digital inputs plus it has a tube stage. Buy a NOS WE2C51 or WE296A tube for... | |
| Why a separate DAC? +1 Mhdt Labs Orchid R2R | |
| To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question! I own the 1800 for a few years without any problems plus it sounded better than my previous PS Audio P3. It’s a bargain for his asking price. | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 @rollintubesI'm also concerned since the Rogue outputs 100w with the stock KT120 and the PL only 40w. Since I'll be using KT77 tubes, per Rogue the bias will be reduced from 35 to 30 but I'm thinking of reducing it further to 25. While auditioning... | |

| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 helomechThanks for the recommendations and I will consider if the Mullards don't work out. I called Rogue for an update and the amp should be ready by the end of next week. They plan to install the KT77 and test the amp for 24 hours to ensure ther... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 @timo62 Thank you for your congrats. If the Rogue with the KT77 sounds as good as it did at the dealer I’ll be very happy. Hopefully with the addition of the NOS Mullard in the preamp stage I should obtain the sound I’m looking for. I did look int... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 @iopscrlMy room is not large at 13x18x6.5 plus I sit around 7’ from the speakers. I used the 34w Primaluna with no power problems.@helomech and gillatghI contacted Brent Jessee and he recommended a NOS Mullard based on my preferences. | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 @alucard19 I appreciate the suggestion but used various power tubes prior and still love the warm organic sound of KT77. From what I read the KT90 does not fit my bill. @rbstehno I owned a H300 prior to the Primaluna. Nice sounding amp but once I ... | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up JanehambleTeajay is a great guy and I do consider him an AUDIO BUDDY! I contacted him several times and he always responded to my questions and inquiries. Based on his recommendations I realized we both like the same type of performance from our e... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 @ghasleyThank you for the info concerning the fans. I imagine they are quiet since they are designed especially for audio type equipment.To allI returned the Magnum 3 to my dealer after the home demo. I mentioned I didn't care much for the KT120 t... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 This afternoon I brought home a Rogue Cronus Magnum 3 from a local dealer to demo over the weekend. After a 1/2 hour warm up, I played the same music I had listened earlier on the BAT. Here are my initial impressions:-the soundstage is bit larger-... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 @dweller I thought of buying a used BAT VK55 from a close friend here audiogon recently. The problem is my unit/ tv stand isn’t large enough to accommodate it. I owned separates years ago and prefer the convenience of an integrated amp with less c... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 Thanks for all your recommendations.@tlong1958Good point to consider!The first time had to do with a short, the second time I’m not sure but the last time was a blown auto bias board. One of the power tubes was receiving 3 times the normal mv. Kev... |
