@nymarty Thanks for the Aluminum alloy remote recommendation. I ordered the silver 2 button. Shipping was fast less than 2 weeks. Really nice heavy build quality. It arrived with no instructions but I was able to determine to push both up and down buttons simultaneous on the new remote to put it in program mode. Then pointing both remotes at each other press the up volume buttons on both remotes. New remote cloned and works great.
Supratek Owners Thread
Greetings All -
It appears that the 26-million-plus view, multi-decade "Preamp Deal of the Century" Supratek thread has been removed. I'm not sure why, but suppose there must be a reasonable explanation.
In any case, on that thread I recently asked whether there might be interest in a "Supratek owners thread" and received some interest.
The purpose of this thread is for Supratek owners to share the details of their system, ask questions, share information about any tube-rolling they have done, and so forth.
I'll kick us off here with a few details about my system -
ancient Linn LP12 with Ittok arm, Dynavector 17D3 cartridge into Cortese LCR phono stage
Power amp is a fully serviced Innersound Electrostatic amplifier
Quad ESL63 speakers (not USA monitors) or JBL 4430 studio monitors
Digital sources are immature and evolving - ancient Fostex CR300 cd player/burner
DacMagic 100 DAC
Nordost Blue Heaven 75ohm interconnect
Due to the fairly long lengths of speaker wire required in the new listening room, speaker wire is Belden 12 gauge wire designed for low-voltage outdoor lighting systems.
Next steps - dedicated circuit, new power cords, new interconnects, new wires.

@tksteingraber Glad you like the remote! The instructions are on the product page on AliExpress but you figured it out. I think Mick should buy a bunch of these, screenprint a logo on them, and ship them with his preamps. They’re much closer to the build quality of the preamps than the current remote. |
@nymarty I also bought the aluminum, 2 button, learning remote for the Chardonnay. Picked the black one with writing. Mine has a tiny circuit board mounted learn button with LED. I installed the batteries and programmed it while the back was still off. Now I wonder if pressing both buttons would enable learning mode? Thanks Marty for posting the link to this great product. It is very luxurious and matches the Chardonnay perfectly. It is also nice to have an extra remote for backup. Thanks, aldnorab |
