Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?


I'm preparing to replace my SS preamp with a tube unit and have read with great interest many threads on this board. This is where I learned about Don Sachs model 2 preamps. They sound like what I'm looking for and those who own them consistently express their satisfaction with them.

Now I've just been reading and learning about the Supratek lineup. Wow. These also sound like fantastic works of art. Leaving me with a new question about which way to go. 

Thoughts? Advice? Experience? Anyone care to share?

I wish this forum had a way to insert pictures, that way we could enjoy all the Supratek owners equipment.
Congratulations with your Chardonnay pre.
Hi Jay, I read on another post that Mick is on vacation, that was I believe 5 days ago.
Yes, I can confirm that Mick is on vacation. He should be back in the next few days.

BTW, there was some interest expressed over on the "preamp deal of the century" thread in a Supratek owners thread. I do plan to create one soon. It will be a place for us to discuss our systems, tweaks, equipment and so forth.

BTW, I do expect to be able to compare a Don Sachs model 2 to my Cortese some time in August. Another individual on this forum owns the Don Sachs unit and lives not too far away. So, that should be fun!

Thanks for the heads-up on the Audio Mirror Tubador. I'm going to have to look into that.
Please post on the new "Supratek Owners Thread".
Thanks,
Markus
