Preamp Deal of the Century
Ethifi,In my experienced, the problem you described should come from the Bendix 6101. I had the Bendix beforehand when I received my preamp and found out the same anomaly as you pointed out. As you increased the gain, the popping (like a motorcycl...

Hello,Here's the response I got from GRollins at DIY Audio Forums before when I was working on mine:"First, check the temperature of your heatsinks. You may not need to adjust the bias.If you still think you want to mess with the bias, start with ...

Preamp Deal of the Century
CORRECTION!Braro,My mistake! My preamp has a label for both the PS and the pre which says "Chenin", date of manufacture, and serial number to the location you specified previously.cheers! 
Preamp Deal of the Century

Bemptil23,The lows are fine and can extend to what Bob Brines specified as the measured response of the design. Care should be taken to re-inforced the cabinets very well though. As you might noticed, mine have a lot of cross braces. Also, as I mi... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Aurel,I read that all Supratek preamps are tranformer coupled. I could be wrong but the info is in the website.I believe the round semi-cylindrical "thingy" at the back of each regulator tubes are the transformer for each channel output. BTW, I ha...

Bemopti123,BTW, I am planning to get myself a pair of FT2000A cabinets made for my F200A with Alnico drivers. Have you considered this design? The F200A is not longer being made and Madisound has some in stockIs that similar to this?http://cgim.au...

Hello,I have the exact speaker that you are inquiring.http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/s/f/1093027454.jpg Stock, it performs very well. But the magic is how to find the correct ratio of damping material so the speaker/room coupling is flawless. Not t...
