ICs for Supratek Pre


I am expecting my Supratek Chardoney to arrive in the next month or so and had a question for Supratek owners regarding ICs between pre and amp. My amp is a Bryston 4BSST and Bryston recommends balanced inputs; Mick is putting balanced outs on the Chardoney (I doubt these are truly balanced), but recommends RCAs. I realize that I will likely have to compare to determine what sounds better, but I was hoping for some advice on what the better bet is when faced with this situation. Thanks.

Bwhite,

I have a Cortese on order and Mick has assured me that its XLR outputs generate a fully balanced signal. I understand that you had some problem with Mick's XLR connections awhile back, but that was quite some time ago. I think those issues have been addressed in subsequent preamps.
