| better sound after big power failure? You blew the power just from hitting the open drawer button? Your neighbors must be furious! Better not tell them it was you!Maybe you are finally getting the amount of power you need instead of borderline brown out situation?It sounds like the ki... | |

| Rogue 99 Mag re-tube Q The reason to buy different tubes for the 99 is because 2 of the tubes are used in a manner which does not affect the sound very much, about 10% (per Mark OBrien) if I remember right. So replace the other tubes with the best you can afford and sav... | |
