Hello Jay, well first I originally had a standard calypso which I liked in an old system, then moved on to a different setup with a Supratek Chardonney which I loved but no remote and no xlr so I found a Calypso signature thinking this would take me off the merry go round but what a disappointment from the Supratek. So of course I found a Cabernet dual 3,days later and bought it, and viola, I got my holographic 3d expansive soundstage back, funny I could tell from the first vocal track. To me Supratek performs magic in the midrange, So in MYsystem both Suprateks trounced the Aesthetix. I won't ever part with this one. Cheers.
Help...hum issue with new preamp
Hi goners, I have just switched preamps from an Aesthetix calypso sig to a Supratek Cabernet and I am now getting a decent hum from the balanced connections from my Atma-Sphere monos to the Supratek where as I did not get it at all with the Aesthetix. Now I had an old set of single end cables that I used with the Supratek to troubleshoot and the hum was gone. The only thing I can think of is that since the Supratek is not truly balanced it must be causing an issue, as we know the Aesthetix is truly balanced. In any event I want to keep my xlr connections because of length. No I have not contacted Mick from Supratek yet as I'm hoping this can be resolved easily. .Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
