| Preamp Deal of the Century Jazzdude - thanks for mentioning that. I wonder why Mick suggested to not use 6550/KT88 as voltage regulators. I've been told they are electronically the same as any 6L6 tube - it's just that they can take accept higher plate voltage. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century On the line stage portion of my Cortese I use Mullard CV181/ECC32. NOTE: These did not work in my friends Syrah for some reason. The power supply has Genalex Gold Lion KT66's and the Bendix 6106. I added Telefunken CCa's to the phono. Previously I... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Jazzdude - congratulations! I'm sure the Sauvignon will be a fantastic addition to your system. Please let us know what you think when it arrives. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century McLeodsd, you should visit the Supratek website to get Mick's email address and ask him. Keep in mind that most every Supratek owner purchased without listening. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tonnesen, no fight from me - you make a good point.So I will continue to wait patiently... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Asa - While I'd love to engage Gogamecocks I thought I'd just let his presence on this forum pass (so to speak) -- he obviously had nothing relevant to add. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Curious, has anyone received any information from Mick regarding the "improvements"? And if so, could you share?It doesn't seem like the www.supratek.biz website has been updated as Mick suggested it would be & its been two weeks since his ann... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Steve - cool. Great reply. Thank you very much. I am no stranger to Mick's new product announcements... I had a Chardonnay in my hands for 2 weeks, comparing it to $10,000 preamps and thinking it was the best under 10K... when the Cortese arrived ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Steve, I appreciate your input and apologize for my "passion" (as Asa put it). I should not have directed it at you per se'... Perhaps it's because I know you are close to Mick and the explanation you are giving seems to deeply contrast that which... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The master has spoken. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stevem - even though you are mentioned on the Supratek website (at the bottom of the preamp page) as a helpful and encouraging person, I do not believe you have your facts straight and therefore are not helping any.*We* should consult the master? ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tubegroover - think about it, the Cortese (and Grange I suppose) is hugely better than the Syrah in that it is WAY more refined, solid, and of a much higher quality standard than the Syrah - in my experience. While sonically they are quite similar... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Fiddler, I'm not pissed. I simply think that there should be some consideration for existing customers. The post didn't seem to indicate there was any - and I am waiting to hear back from Mick before getting too emotional about this.Mick's prod... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler, you are correct. While Mick's products have been successful as a result of how they sound, that does not diminish the fact that his customers -- the ones willing to "bite the bullet" and buy a preamp on faith, without ever listening to it... |
