Supratek Owners Thread

@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,

@nymarty thanks for the tip regarding the remote again. Received mine in Silver two button. Such a better option compared to the remote supplied by Mick. 

Greetings fellow Supratek fans -

Just wanted to share that I recently picked up a stash of tubes at an estate sale which included a pair of old GE 6L6GC tubes. These can be substituted for the perfectly fine Russian 6N3C regulator tubes Mick ships with the preamp. My experience is that the 6L6 tubes deepen the bass somewhat and increase the slam in the lower frequencies - think of the drummer kicking the kick-drum harder in a rock of funk band. That’s the difference I’m hearing.

Just thought you might like to know...

@marcus this is excellent news.

Thanks for sharing,

@markusthenaimnut good to hear…I like the sound of RCA black plate 6L6G, GE 807 and Westinghouse 807.  The 807’s have even more bass, slam and overall fuller sound.  Both sound excellent just different.
