Sounds good guys,,i just ordered "Soular Energy" have not found "Tasty "yet! I heard a few samples of Ray Brown,,very good indeed!Thanks |
This should be interesting,,maybe the DAC that i heard rumors of a while back will be one of the new products! |
Simon,Ive been thinking of trying some Sylvanias,could you tell me what you like about them,Thanks |

I tend to believe Mick when he says quality will be the same as it has been,and less of a wait sounds great! I may be interested in the KT88 monos in the future,and would not hesitate to buy a Supratek product,,,and would be VERY happy if i did not have to wait almost a year! Thanks for responding Mick! Ray(a very happy Chardonnay owner) |
Larry,Glad everything is working out so well! |
Def. enjoying my Chardonney,with my new speakers(Caravelles)i am hearing so much more of what my system is capable of! how sweet it is! |
Allen,The Chardonnay uses a 5AR4 for rectifier,i read in another thread the 5AR4 can be used as a substitute for 5U4,but not the other way around.If youd like to read the thread,do an audiogon search for "5U4" and click on discusion post,the same question was asked,hope this helps,Ray |
Hello Indigorose,Heres Micks reply to my email from 2 days ago,"Still working on it and undergoing reliability testing,70 watts,under 3000.00-this year sometime"I have a CJ MF2500A that i love,but it has more power than my new speakers can handle(Harmonic Precision Caravelles)which are monitors ,ill be adding a powered sub soon,so im reasoning that with the powered sub for the lows the KT88s will be an even better match with my Chardonnay and Caravelles,,i hope im right,,,,,just when i thought i was done for now Mick comes out with an affordable pr of tube monoblocks!! |
|
Ait, congrats on your preamp!!!Im hoping Kgturner recieves his Malbec soon so he can tell us how good it sounds!!!When i recieve mine i will be in an apt. and fine tuning my system and room,but i will keep everyone up to date on how everything is going with the Chardonnay/Malbec combo.I will probably have my CJ MF2500A up for sale soon after recieving the Malbecs.Ray |
Kevin,Thanks for the update! |
Hey Doc,I too am hoping my Chardonnay and the Malbecs are a special combo!Right now im using a CJ MF2500A which at 240 wpc ,is too much power for my Caravelles ,it does sound very good!,plus the fact that my ACI Force is handling low bass ,,and i dont listen as loud as i did even a year ago,i think the Malbecs 50 watts should do the job.The fact that i start a new job in Boca Raton and will be quite busy should make the wait much easier,,,,,Ray |
Slowhand ,Thankyou!I am very happy that Mick came up with the Malbec monos,otherwise i would not have been able to afford a Supratek poweramp! Mick has all the bases covered!Your system must sound great with the Grange ,Berning combo! The_ chops,Have you spoke to Mick about preamps yet? Ray |
Hello Tom,Sorry about that,,i must start using my glasses!!!! Im hoping the wait will not be too long,but more than that i hope 50 watts will be enough!I am pretty sure it will be!I am so looking forward to hearing the Chardonnay,Malbec combo!!!!Also thanks for starting this thread,,otherwise many of us might not have taken the time to learn about Supratek!And thank you to Mick for keeping his prices so reasonable,,im sure he could ask much more and get it! |
Cello,Did you ever get your Grange up and running? |
And a pair has my name on them,,,!!!! |
Kgturner,I hope yours are ready! I think you may have been the first or one of the first to order the Malbec!Ray |
Slowhand,I found a good home for my beloved CJ MF2500A,,I actually love the sound of this amp ! Crazy hobby!I just cant resist wondering how the Malbec monos are going to sound with my Chardonnay,,,I ll be shipping my CJ out Monday,,so ill get a taste of what Kgturner is going thru,,staring at my ampless speakers!!! |
Thank you Tom,Looking forward to getting that email from Mick soon! |
Cant wait to get my Malbecs!!Tom ,I sure wish we lived closer to each other,,I would love to hear your Berning,,Id also love to hear my Malbecs!,Peace,Ray |
Artemus,I had that combo for a bout a year,,,worked great!! |
Artemus,If you have any questions concerning the CJ ,Chardonnay combo please feel free to email me. |
Help!Schematics for Chardonnay!My local tech needs schematics for my 2005 Chardonnay.I moved and setup my system.And no sound!I checked the umbilical at the power unit ,and it turned beyond what is normal and made a sparking noise.I turned the power off.The local tech says the wires inside to the umbillical came off and on one end they are color coded ,but not on the end that came undone.!! I have emailed Mick,no answer yet.Also is 97.00 to fix,solder 3 wires about right?Only working 15 to 20 hours a week,every penny counts.Help!Need my music!Thanks,Ray |
Problem solved,Mick contacted local tech ! |
