Description

SECOND STEREO ATTEMPT:

IT IS QUITE FAST CHANGING ALMOST MY ENTIRE SETUP. THAT BUG HIT ME PRETTY BAD I GUESS. NOW I'AM ENJOYING MY NEW RIGS AND REALLY HAPPY WITH THEM. MY NEXT UPGRADE WILL BE INTERCONNECTS AND SPEAKER CABLES. I MIGHT GO TO PURIST, NORDOST, OR BOGDAN. STILL UNDECIDED.

FIRST STEREO ATTEMPT

I'M PRETTY MUCH SATISFIED WITH MY STEREO SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. GETTING MYSELF INTO THIS HOBBY WAS INSPIRED AND INFLUENCED BY MY DAD WHO HAS BEEN INTO THIS FOR 30 YEARS. HE REMINDS ME ALWAYS BEWARE OF THE AUDIOPHILE BUG! THERE’S NO CURE ONCE YOU GET BITTEN!”

I'M REALLY CAREFULL ON MY BUDGET THAT’S WHY MOST OF MY EQUIPMENTS ARE PASS DOWNS FROM AUDIOPHILE GUYS. I'M JUST STARTING TO UPGRADE MY FRONT END AND ABOUT TO HAVE MY ALON MODEL 1 SPEAKERS REPLACING MY B&W DM603 S1...MY GOAL IS TO HAVE A FEEL OF LIVE AND DETAILED MUSIC PLAYING IN MY SYSTEM, JUST LIKE HAVING THE BAND PLAYING IN MY LIVING ROOM.

I haven't tried any 6550's yet. I do have a full set of EH EL-34's that came with the amp when I bought it. The guy I bought it from said Mark O'Brian from Rogue likes the EL 34's. He liked the KT-88's and I haven't had time to play around with it yet so I have left the KT-88's in. Have you tried any EL-34's?

I did get some NOS Mullards from Upscale Audio for input and driver tubes. What a difference! They really smoothed them out. According to Rogue the input tubes will make the biggest difference. I'm really pleased with the amps and am anxious to upgrade the pre.

you'll never go wrong with rogue's. they're the best bang for your money. the preamp pretty matches with its own kind. you will definitely love the transparency and the tightness of the bass with 99 magnum.

have you tried using 6550 with your amps? i replaced my kt88's with 6550's and the detail is more appealing (with ultralinear mode). the kt88 is huge sounding but less on detail compared to 6550. anyway, good luck and enjoy listening!

How do you like the 99? I have the Rouge M-150's and was considering upgrading to a 99 magnum. I love the M-150's best upgrade I have done, so far....

System edited: i just got my audio note cdt-2 transport (atlast for a long time searching for a very good trans). it's worth for the price. a remarkable change in my system. also 4 ref powercords for all my rigs which makes music more alive maybe bec of the proper current delivered (that's what i think)....

Ang lupet ng set-up mo Sonjay! It seems that you were badly bitten by the AP bug!(just like your Dad huh?) :) Your Tito Rommel told me about your post here in gon. I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing some upgrades later if not sooner! Good luck on searching for the ultimate sound!

thanks! i'm planning to put (1) 2x4's (auralex) foam panels on each side of the wall adjacent to speakers for sound treatment, i notice that sound bounces everywhere, i'll try to minimize that. but putting rag is the simpliest way to do it.

Looks to be a great start, try throwing a blanket over the TV when listening to music, the detail will improve greatly.
