Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?

celandar….."To me, the warranty is something that should not be ignored when evaluating equipment. Too bad all reputable manufacturers don’t stand behind their products like Supratech apparently does."


Agree with you, which equipment have you purchased because of its long warranty, Bryston, other?   

I think cel might be. Mick probably had more free advertising via A’gon zealot members posts than any. They seem to have faded into the woodwork.

The internal layout of Supratek was never considered a secret to those of us ever considering or purchasing the brand. There has been no secrets uncovered here, the OP asked for opinions, and opinions were given. Frankly, Mick’s preamps have received as much, or more free, good press, from users on A’gon as any other product.

Those of you who mention that no one looks inside their equipment reflects your values and sense of curiosity, not all of ours. I applaud Ralph for providing his opinion and Mick for posting a picture on his blog.  Peace

mesch and grphongryph, here are 3,688 posts in one thread as an introduction to Supratek.  It is the definitive thread.  They are nice looking for sure.

Old potentially outdated information, but as I remember from years ago, when Suprateks needed warranty work Mick would decide if he needed to repair the item himself in Australia or if a tech local to the owner could fix it at Mick's expense.

Feel free to correct.
