Re: rogue, manley, vtl, bat, arc???

Hi Jim,

I am using the Cronus with my 87db Quad 2805's to very good effect. In my 13 X 15 room I can easily get to 90+ db as measured from the listening seat and the Cronus is only turned up to 1:00 (with my CD) and 2:00 with my phono.

The upgrade gets you better tube sockets, bigger power supplies, better internal wiring, upgraded transformers, upgraded resistors and caps in the critical positions. Mine also has all of the switching, phono, headphone, remote, sub-out disconnected to make as pure a signal path as possible. I also had mine wired in triode. Since there are no dealers near you, you can call Rogue directly and talk with Mark O'Brien.

I have not found the Cronus to be "dry" sounding as one of the other posters mentioned, but maybe it is the rest of my system or some of the input and driver tubes I am using (RCA Clear Tops and Telefunkens).

Good luck.

Dave
