| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded Well I thought the stock tubes sounded a little to solid state if you know what I mean. I first tried a pair of GE 5751 black plates. Those were a great improvement over the stock tubes. A local guy had the Sylvanias so I gave them a try. They... | |
| Jolida JD100 stock v. modded I have a stock JD100.Sylvania 5751WA triple mica black plates JHS gold print and JPS labs the digital power cord. I heard a nice improvement when I changed from the stock tubes. I think this CDP does a great job, I've had it for 10 years and hav... | |
| What is the best 6SN7 driver tube? I too have tried many 6sn7 tubes over the years. My Rogue Metis Magnum pre-amp takes a pair of these tubes. Currently I'm using Sylvania 6sn7w short bottle black base. Out of all the tubes I've tried these are my favorite besides the metal base... | |
| your first system- Late 80's. Polk audio 5b speakers, Realistic tape deck and Kenwood receiver. I quickly realized the speakers didn't sound as good as they did in the store, so I saved up and replaced the Kenwood with an NAD 3140 int. amp. Now that's more like ... | |
| Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier I would try some different 6sn7 tubes in your preamp first. I have found a great variation in sound in those tubes. My Rogue Metis pre uses those tubes and I have tried around 20 different pairs before I found a pair I really love. You could sta... | |
| Rogue Audio Metis Magnum upgrade. Hey guys. Yes I got the Metis upgraded to magnum status. It took about a month from sending it there to getting it back. They even sent it back in a new box. I did take before and after pics if the inside, but I’m not sure how to post the pics her... | |
| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers I just replaced my MIT AVT-1 bi-wire with JPS labs Ultra conductor 2 bi-wire. The noise floor dropped and the bass response improved. The bass seems to go a little deeper and the individual notes are more apparent. I've had the MIT cables for o... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna "These are very hard times in new audio sales. The fallout from this latest economic crunch has dampened the audio market."Well Kevin must be doing OK. I see he posted a wanted ad in Excellence magazine for a Porsche GT3. I have talked to him on... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio I called them this spring to take a look at my McCormick DNA-125. They wouldn't touch it. All the techs around here ( Hionfi, Sig Sound) besides them had at least a 8 week back log. I called Audio classics in Binghamton, they wouldn't work on i... | |
| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread Rogue Audio Metis Magnum preamp/McCormack DNA-125 power amp. | |
| Headphone amp connection Mike,Yes that does make sense. It is a perfect world because my preamp does have a fixed output. Unfortunately the head phone amp will be located on the same rack as the rest of my equipment. Looks like I will have to go old school and get up t... | |
| Headphone amp connection Well after reading what I wrote let me make a correction. Going from preamp fixed output would not give me remote preamp volume control. It would give me source selection though. I guess I could use the variable preamp out and then have remote ... | |
| Rogue Audio Metis Magnum upgrade. Well I sent my pre amp off to Rogue to get the magnum upgrade. I took before pics of the inside, to see what is changed when I get it back. I will post an update after I have a chance to listen to it for a while when it comes back. | |
| Rogue Audio Metis Magnum upgrade. Yes I have talked to them thru email. This is what they told me.We do still offer the Magnum Upgrade for the Metis. This upgrade will improve dynamics and detail, while providing a larger soundstage and better transparency. This upgrade is $450 +... | |
| Rogue Audio Metis Magnum upgrade. Well by the responses I have received so far I can understand why I couldn't find much on the web. Has anyone gone from any base Rogue equipment up to the same equipment in Magnum form? I guess I'm just wondering if the improvement is worth the ... |
