The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth.
@nonoise , Please stop the hate . I was the person that lived the life of turbulence . In the 80’s I was 6’1” and 230 lbs., took performance enhancing drugs and used stimulants and pain killers to help me go . I took a law enforcement job, and bec... 
HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.
   Ah the progression of the disease. If you wake up one morning in a strange place with two miss matched speakers , go to an impatient program .  
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
Yes , gobsmacked. Thanks Roxy54

“ I was God Smacked “. The last time I had this experience resulted in 4 fractured vertebrae and 2 broken ribs .  
Preamp tubes in power amps
   Rogue categorically recommends Mullard small tubes as an upgrade for their gear . My experience with Mullard tubes in this application tended to make my sound veiled as if a blanket was thrown over my system . I’ve tried nos Mullard , Seimens E... 
Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander
Mr. Miller , thanks for your thread . I love Porsches and I’m considering a pair of Tektons . My Porsche memories are only that of a race fan , but they were some fun times . Number 1 was watching Mark Donahue drive the Sunoco Porsche 917-30 at La... 
How far over the limit can I go
I have a different amp , but tubes none the less . About 2 years ago I got back into vinyl , so I put a fresh set of KT-120’s into my amp. ( auto bias ). The current ones had plenty of life , but after warming up the new ones, there was a noticeab... 
Tube/Hybrid Tube Preamps Below $2000
  I run the RP-1 with nos Telefunken G73R’s , best 12AU7 made . I have nos RCA’s, Silver Seimens , Mullard , Tungsram and a few others . Rogue pushes the Mullards, but they sound veiled and the Telefunkens are fabulous.  I run a Schiit Yiggy and a... 
Cat Scratch Fever?
I saw V H open for AC/DC . Saw Sabbath twice in Fresno and once in Madera . Saw Zepplin SATURDAY at Oakland Coliseum, the next days show was their last in US . Saw Stones at Candlestick Park. Some of my favorite Fresno shows were ZZ Top opening fo... 
Cat Scratch Fever?
@tablejockey - Love Montrose , saw them open for Slade at the Rainbow Ballroom Fresno. Their first album just came out . Sammy only sang. No motorcycle opening for Bad Motor Scooter, no Theremon for Space Station #5. I lived in Freeno and went to ... 
Cat Scratch Fever?
   Poor Ted , sorry to hear he’s sick . He’s been suffering for decades from another serious condition and now he has Covid on top of that , bummer ! He also suffers from L. S. D. or it’s medical name Lead Singers Disease . This condition is from ... 
The Absurdity of it All
   I’m a 64 year old road cyclist and my $2K Zipp carbon wheels shod with Michelin GP 5000’s II’s gave me a noticeable improvement  .    My $400 Loomis GLX rods gave me a noticeable improvement over my IMX rods . And 80 mg sildenafil gave me a not... 
A bit of an epiphany...with humble embarrassment
    I was in your position with my JBL 4312A’s about 15 years ago . I tried footers and pedestals, and played with placement. So I took into consideration how high I wanted my tweeters in relation to my ears while sitting on my couch . I then took... 
One Cord To Rule Them All
 In my modest system , I upgraded from the Pangea to a Shunyata Venom HC on my Richard Gray and had a noticeable improvement. This comparison was after I installed a 20 amp Hubble outlet . Hopefully you’ve upgraded your outlets . Cheers , Mike.  
Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed
+ Vote for a Schiit Loki . I have one that I’ve used intermittently and I like it . You just need an additional pair of interconnects, which will probably cost more than the Loki.  I am considering a Van Alstine amp myself to pair with my Rogue RP...
