RE: I would put something inside the top, tube rings, and some sort of feet.

Posted by stereo5 on June 9, 2017 at 17:27:14:
I had 3 Audible Illusions preamps previous to my Rogue RP-5 and when I tried tube dampers on the Audible Illusions, it seemed to suck some of the life out of the system. For that reason I never tried it on the RP-5. As for the aluminum cover which rings like a bell, I applied some Dynamat (left over from my car stereo days) on the inside cover in a few different spots (not near the tubes), and the ringing is gone. The cover on mine doesn't seem to fit perfectly, the tolerances of the cover are a bit too tight. That disappoints me as well as the really cheesy cheap plastic remote control. The remote works well but an all metal would have given the feel of more elegance. I would gladly pay an extra hundred for that type of remote.
