| Pin out on Benz Micro ACE Low Red Hello, I doubt it if there is a difference as far as pin out for the Lo, Med, and High series.For the ACE M that I have it is like this:Looking directly at the back (stylus pointing down).Upper Left = WhiteLower Left = BlueUpper Right = RedLower R... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Pablo,Glad to hear from another very satisfied Supratek owner! Indeed, the preamp is special. I have no regrets from the money and time spent waiting to own this superb piece of equipment.As for the 6F6G's, there are several sources. I bought NOS ... | |

| Step-up transformers... I have the Benz ACE M like you and still do. When I was using it mated with the Wright WPP100C, I used K&K Audio (Lundahl L9206)step up trannie. The trannie can be hardwired into 1:5 (14 dB), 1:10 (20dB), and 1:20 (26dB) depending on your appl... | |
| Denon DL-103R or AT OC9MkII Oh boy! People at AA are almost "into blows" when these two cartridges are compared.FWIW, I have the 103R on a Teres table and OL arm. My brother has the AT on a Teres table and OL illustrious arm.Both sounds perfectly wonderful. On my 103R, I fou... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Same here! Same here!Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!May you spend your holidays with your love ones! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stiltskin,The tubestore.com sells the 6n23 tubes. (http://www.thetubestore.com/rus696h.html)I have not tried it yet since I have lots of 6922's. The M8080 is hard to find but do shows up at ebay once in a while usually from a European seller. I re... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello,I just won an auction for a Sylvania Gold Brand gold pins 6c4 (GB6135). I used to have a pair of this tube but misplaced them when I moved. From what I can remember, they sound great in the Supratek phono section as well. I will compare it t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ecclectique,Thanks for the advice and the compliment. Yep! it seems that the GE's that I have are the crappy ones.I will look for the 6n23ev tubes. Hopefully I can experience their sonic character on the Supratek.Yes, I agree that the Mullard 8080... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have 6c4's on my Chenin. The JAN Phillips that comes with stock is reasonable. At present, I am using the M8080 Mullard tubes. Very quiet and I am not having any microphonic issues. I posted a while back about several 6C4 tubes I tried in the Su... | |
| From biwire to single run: Now I hear a loud hiss. Hiss or hum? If the latter, the Kimbers are picking up stray fields since they are not shielded. Assuming of course that your bi-wire speakers are properly shielded.Here's a very simple test without any capital involve. With the amp and preamp "on... | |
| Double Run spkr cable Single wiring - any good ? Better in my opinion! Since most stock speaker jumpers from manufacturers are piece of crap! Case in point, I bought a pair of Martin Logan Ascents ($4500) before. The jumpers are comparable to heavier gauge than usual tin cans with slits. Then I ... | |
| Double Run spkr cable Single wiring - any good ? The way I look at it in an electrical point of view, the point where the two cables met at the amp and on the speaker is virtually the same wether you have one cable or two.But resitance of the conductor becomes lesser (parallel), inductance will ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Joe,I thought I had, my mistake! He did say that he have some other brands, but I am looking for just the Sylvania. Oh well, it does not change the fact that they are very-very good regulator tubes on the Supratek.Happy thanksgiving to all! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Congrats Mondie, Slipknot1!Like what Cello said, buckle up and the journey is about to begin!Yes, Ecclectique is absolutely on the money with the bottle shaped 6f6g. I bought a pair and compared it to my "use to be" favorite regulators (GEC Gold L... |
