Rogue Magnum 99 question


I have just purchased a new Magnum 99 to replace a AES AE-3. With only 2 days out of the box I honestly dont know if I like its sound; given it is new and needs time to break in and the cheap NOS russians need to go. I was using a pair of Sylvania chrome dome in the AES and loved their sound.
Did anyone feel the same as I do? How long did it take for the 99 to break in? What tubes did you roll and find good results with? Are the russian 6sn7's a very poor link in this piece of equipment that they hinder the preformance? In what order do you start rolling.....front pair,rear, or left, right....instuctions really dont say. I also have a pair of KenRad VT231 blackglass that I really didnt quite care for in the AES.
Any helpful suggestions or comments would be appreciated.The 99 is mated to a Bryston 4Bst.

thanks, kek

I went from a Rogue Magnum 99 to a Blue Circle BC3 Despina to a AES AE-1. Now I am enjoying my music the way I dreamed about. For me the AES is a huge winner compared to either of the others listed that I had previously owned.
