| McIntosh MC275VI vs Rogue Audio Stereo 100 Two totally different sounding amps. The MC275 is definitely a warmer sounding amp that has the classic tubey signature. The Rogue has more of a solid state sound while retaining the tube magic. More like a Audio Research amp. My question is what... | |
| McIntosh MC 462 My experience is separates almost always outperform and I don't see how you can go wrong with the 462/22 combo. | |
| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. @charcoalchuck agreed that Rogue is a steal at the price point. I've had some really nice tube amps and the ST-100 rates extremely high. Not sure its at Audio Research Ref level but pretty close IMO. Referring to older Refs and not the newest se... | |
| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. Thanks guys for some very informative information plus tube suggestions. I have several 12au7 to try but will need to search for 12AX7 or 5751 that don't break the bank. Or wait a little while until prices return to normal. Hopefully. This is ... | |
| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. Gakerty can you give me more specifics on the CBS 12AX7 please? Are they triple mica 5751WA or another type? I have experience with the 12au7 CBS in a Primaluna integrated amp I used to have and really liked the CBS sound. | |
| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. @mulveling thank you 1st and foremost with your experience and recommendations. I have a ST-100 and wondered exactly what you brought up. Would I even like the upgraded caps. Caps probably make a big difference but which one would be preferred. H... | |

| Recommendations to upgrade my amp to pair with my Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs I would also consider a Rogue ST-100. It is pairing very well with my Olympica iii. Audio Research as mentioned above is another great choice. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers You're room is quite large so not sure the XA25 can handle that much space. Also depends on your listening levels. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers What size is your room? Given those choices I would pick the XA25. | |
| McIntosh MC-252 @bugsnest I get it 🤣 | |

| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X Mcintosh isn't really known for their source components. If you like the sound through the Luxman DAC then be satisfied. You can chase your tail in this hobby so tread lightly. | |
| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X Just because you have heard the Luxman CD Player in your system doesn't mean the McIntosh components are an issue. They are fantastic. Is there something missing in the way your system sounds now? | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @schw06 best response so far. You're exactly right. |
