The new IIIs are shipping with KT 88 tubes. Do NOT get that amp with KT-88s.
If you can find a nice CM- II with low hour KT-120 tubes go for it. The CM II is a winner.
Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum - Worth spending $700+ for Mk.III version?
I see a couple Mk.I or Mk.II units for ~$1,600, but if I want a Mk.III I would have to pay close to $2,500. I understand the Mk.III is significantly updated, with MM/MC phono, better grounding, and more. Can anyone speak to the differences, and say whether or not I should hold out for the Mk.III?
