I hate to bust in the middle of this thread but itÂs been such a joy and education reading it and I think you guys might be able to help me out here. IÂm looking for a new pre and really like what IÂve been hearing about Supratek.
Here is my story longwinded though it may be. Hopefully some of you all will be able to provide some guidance. I recently sold my Sun Audio SVC 1000 preamp with an eye toward replacing it with something that had a better accommodation for HT and a remote. (I had a seriously convoluted set-up to run surround through my main system but it was so graceless that I couldnÂt stand it any more.) My amps have volume pots on them so my Cary 303 was still useable. After some searching around I decided that I would go the Wadia direct route for starters and see how that went. Let me say that the Wadia 301 blew away the Cary with no effort right out of the box. I have never witnessed such a dramatic improvement - ever. (Shows you what a newbie I am). So now IÂm thinking the hell with a preamp, who needs it, this is awesome I got a remote and the best sound IÂve every heard coming from my system. But and there is always a but, by now my wife is screaming that she wants her surround sound back, and IÂm thinking I may add a vinly source at some point. But I donÂt want to sacrifice the my new found wonder and enjoyment of the Wadia, (Since IÂve got 100Âs of CDÂs and only 10Âs of vinly), so to finally get to the point, I have some questions perhaps you Supratek owners/listeners can help with. Will I lose the air, definition, detail and involvement that IÂve come to love? Have the remote and HT pass through issues been worked out on the Supertek's? Has anyone done any comparisons of the Supratek Syrah and Sonic Frontiers Line 2 or 3 or the BAT 30 or 50Âs? IÂm currently running the Wadia 301 directly to Sun Audio SV2A3-PE push-pull monoÂs with Cabasse Farella 401Âs. I would really be grateful for any guidance/insight you could provide.
Thanks
