Description

  • This all started (upgrading to a tube system) in March when I had surgery, I had time on my hands so I started looking at speakers traded my Gallo 3.1 in on the Joseph Audio RM25XL, improved my sound so much that I wanted to try a tube amp, got the Rogue Audio Model 88 here used retubed, I LIKE IT TUBES AGAIN, so I sold some interconnectsm bought the Modwright SWL9.0SE also on Agon, another step up, really enjoying this system with what I have invested in it, buy the TransFi Terminator Tonearm PERIOD!! (about 1K)

Nice system. Enjoy the tubes!

Can you tell me about the Stereo 90 Super Magnum, please? Did you listen to a standard version? I'm wondering how it might be different. Thanks.
