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.

Getting set up for the Syrah and I'm curious if if the 2 chassis are ok next to each other - is there an advantage to separating them? If so, is there a minimum distance apart they should be?

Thanks in advance for your insight.

If next to each other,  I would give them at least 6' of space.  In that it is a transformer coupled design (output)..  those OPT's will pick up any stray/strong EM.    Generally not a huge concern but the PS is just that and you wouldn't want them practically touching. 

@wideload did your Preamp come in yet? I'm waiting on a Cortese and the wait is killing me lol.

Received my Grange in Black/Chrome. I havn't had te chance to listen as my systems are tore down for the time being.

I did mangage to inspect it after it arrived and it is a thing of beauty.
