Thought I’d give everyone here a first look: I’ve picked up a (used) VAC preamp and am soon going to be selling my much enjoyed 6SN7-only Cabernet, which was built about six months ago (PSU is Chardonnay, but the parts difference is minimal and, according to Mick, one cannot hear the difference). It will come with the following A quality tubes, all with years of good service remaining: Treasure Globe 6SN7 from Premium Vacuum tubes (Canada); early 1960’s RCA 6L6GC’s; and Sophia Electric 274B Aqua. Also included will be the Revelation Audio Cryo-Silver umbilical,, the remote and an SR Orange fuse ((if the buyer would like). I haven’t decided on a price, but it will reasonably reflect what’s included; the bargain will be in the quality and the musical enjoyment, which will be a decided improvement on the already fine stock unit that Mick provides (I’ll include the original umbilical and tubes too).
Separate from that, during the pandemic the GM of Cables for Less built me an umbilical using very good quality Belden silver-tinted copper cable (same wire he builds head amps with). It’s not quite as good as the Revelation, which I picked early this year, but a vast improvement in all respects over the one that Supratek provides. Not looking for a lot for it.
If maybe interested in either, send PM (don’t post here).
