Preamp Deal of the Century
Allan Hagan has given me the number of a guy who used to have a zh-270 but now has a Ziegfried in Chicago. Allan said that there is a family sound and I will get the idea of how zh270 sounds. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Will I get an idea b... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Slowhand, the Berning would have to be sold inexpensively for me to take a chance on it. I am about to do what you suggested about placing the order. I got an email from Mick about updating the Cortese to the newest design. He said it would cost a... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Slowhand, I have contacted Allan Hagan trying to audition a ZH-270 in Chicago. I also contacted David Berning who said that he currently has a 3 month waiting list. I guess I could buy my second system components now while waiting for Mick and Ber...

Thanks for the offer. I will consider it but the Cortese seems a little out of price range right now. I also have my heart on the Berning zh-270 right now. Why don't you have your Cortese modified as was offered on the thread by Mick?

Thanks for the response Tubegroover. I am very tempted to order both the Berning and the Syrah. I really am looking for something that I can use for a decade happily. I have been considering the Syrah for the last week and I have always been attra...

I experimented a bit last night and found that the dealer had plugged the Rotel into an extension cord. I read the directions and it advised against doing this. I plugged the Rotel directly into the wall and it was much better. I still think it is... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
After 2 years is this preamp still amazing? This thread has been going just short of two years. I am wondering if those who bought these preamps a year or two ago are still thinking as highly of this preamp. I am very tempted to buy the Syrah from... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Are the Supratek amps just as good as the preamps? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Is there anyone in Chicago with a Supratek preamp or amp? I would love to hear one! 
Amplifier for Von Schweikert 4.5?
Thank you both for your responses. I will look into the Bryston/ Audible Illusions combo and the BAT components. 
Review: Dynaco Mark IV Amplifier
Has anyone tried Joe Curcio's mods of the MK IV's, and if so what do you think of the mods? 
Review: Dynaco Mark IV Amplifier
I wanted to thank you for your post! I have a pair of Mk IV's that I am going to get updated TODAY!! I felt a little silly using these after buying used a pair of Von Schweikert 4.5's yesterday. I will get these modified and give them a serious li...
