    Really toying with the idea of buying one of these:
    http://www.rogueaudio.com/Products_Atlas_Magnum.htm

    Stereophile Rated 'Class A". The same power portion of the Cronus. Will accept about any power tube. They are a steal in the used market.

    Have an Eighty Eight Magnum amp from them that I love! Going to get a Stereo 100 from them one day. That's my dream amp.

    I’m liking this stuff, it seems they use high quality components inside. My phono preamp is pretty simple inside, but holy crap is it sounding good.

    I had a Stereo 90 for a short time and ended up keeping my Eighty Eight. Unless you need the extra power, you might hold on to that Magnum.

    Thank you! That's great to know!

    Hey guys wanted to share some pictures. Anyone who owns an Ares may know of the monster death grip the sockets have on the tubes.
    I decided to order 4 movib socket savers from Tube monger.

    Good idea, I will have to look into these. The tube sockets in my Perseus were as you describe, too tight.

    I was nervous swapping tubes as I could see the board flex while swapping. These are also tall enough to allow swapping without removing the cover. I haven’t notice any degradation in sound. I consider them expensive, but weren’t bad for a Black Friday deal.
