Margules gear??

@jayctoy I thought they are made from Greece. They sound terrific.

They have distributors - however each time my friends gear needed repair he had to send it back to headquarters near Mexico City, Ciudad de México, Mexico.

Note: I felt bad about the whole deal as my friend came with me to a show, kept going back to their room, they had some gear for sale there, they plugged it all in at the show, played it quickly, and he bought the gear there for 20 min max. Bought it.   Then spent the next 2-3yrs shipping back and forth [more costs, long delays] trying to make it operate properly, and finally gave up.  In this case, the local in-state distributor was useless to fix anything. The failing unit had to go all the way back to headquarters.  

This is why I like simple gear, with local (capable support) and/or where most local techs can figure stuff out.  Sounds great when it works properly. Best of Luck.  

I was supposed to try some of their tube monos a few years back and it never came about.

If you were referring to the Rogue Dragon Monoblocks, that is the Rogue product I am aiming at placing under my rack. Like the OP, I have a fair collection of 12au7's that I switch out in my RP-1. My plan is to upgrade to RP-3, but in doing so I discovered the Dragon Monoblocks, a hybrid amplifier that is Class D. So convenient. Kind of bridges the gap between no heat and the ability to change the sound of the amp - using one tube I already have.  

In today's world, one is smart to stay local, or at least national. Rogue is located about 45 minutes from where I reside. 

@goodlistening64 ,

You anywhere near Kutztown?

@thecarpathian 

I am. Are you going to the Radio show? I will be there on Saturday, May 9th.

I have not been to this event before, and I don't really need any more tubes, but I am hoping the prices are less than what I had paid previously.

@goodlistening64 ,

I didn’t know that show existed until recently. Sounds like a great thing to do!

Unfortunately, I can’t go. I’m in Connecticut working. Pick up a pair of Amperex 7316pq's for me.😃

My wife and I make the trip to Kutztown for the terrific area wineries and Amish stuff. Have dinner at Folino’s  vineyards. Wonderful old world Italian fare. Their wines are a bit on the dry side if you partake. For sweeter wines Clover Hill winery is the ticket. Both in Kutztown.
