| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Sorlowski - Amandarae stated above that the Bendix does not work for the Chenin so... if I were you, I'd take his word for it. The Bendix appears to only work on the Cortese, Syrah and Chardonnay. You might ask Mick to get confirmation.I think all... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Amandarae - that's a bummer! I wonder what changed in the Chenin power supply that makes the Bendix 6106 not work. Well.. the people with Cortese's are lucky.. you can use the Bendix 6106 and the Mullard CV181's Two great tubes which do not seem t... | |
| Audiomeca Mephisto II power cable For Moray James you have to email him at morayj1@juno.comHe sells direct. These are very good power cords but not for everyone. They are subtle and do not create dramatic shifts in your system. If you rely on power cords as tone controls, the Mora... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Sorlowski - give the Bendix a try. It is a somewhat inexpensive tube too. The WE350B's are not exactly warm on their own but when paired with the GZ tubes, they can be...The Early(1950's) RCA 5V4G (ST Shaped - black base) tubes are a more open sou... | |

| Tube amp upgrade/repair in San Jose Bay Area Do a search on Google for Bay Area High End Audio Repair As mentioned above, Scott is good however I'd recommend Nick Gowan at True Sounds as another choice. Nick is someone who could not only fix your amp but give you an idea of how to improve it... | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay I think the Cortese uses the Alps too. Not only is the potentiometer an issue but the selector switch is too. All signal runs through that knob followed by a trip through the mute switch. Seems to me the pot, knob and switch are three great places... | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay Tbg - I thought your post was okay. You are correct, early versions of the Supratek had issues - particularly cold solder joints. My first and second Chardonnay's came damaged (in shipping) from the factory. Piano Black with a nice huge scratch. S... | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay I know of a few Supratek's which have needed repairs - including my first Chardonnay - several years ago. In my case, Mick covered the costs to repair locally. My Cortese has been flawless. Sound wise, it totally depends on the tubes you use. The ... | |
