I have a question for Rogue amp users, in particular the Rogue 90 or Tempest amps. I just started listening in triode mode. When powering off there is a noisy transient type sound for a second or two.

I asked Rogue- they said " there are 4 relays which are activated when you flip the switch to triode mode, so may hear these closing at shutdown and not to worry".

Still it puts me off powering off in Triode mode or even using triode. It just doesn't sound very healthy. in UL the power off is dead quiet.

do other owners have that experience?

do other owners prefer UL or Triode with these amps in their set ups?

thanks

I have Mono 150's.  Yes, there is a small noise when switching to/from Triode.  I have not heard any noises when powering down in either mode. But when I power one down, I am on my way to power down the other.  So, could be and I am missing the noise.

I also get a small noise when switching UL to triode. but the powering down is louder.

btw do you have a preference overall?

thanks

Triode =>small ensemble jazz, vocals, acoustic blues/rock/folk, small ensemble chamber music.  UL most everything else.  The differences are subtle, not "in your face".  I have fairly efficient, easily driven  speakers, so the power differential is not as obvious.
