| Preamp Deal of the Century . Baranyi, I thought about asking Mick to upgrade my Cortese, but I donÂt think I would be willing to live without my Cortese during the time it would take to have it upgraded. I will probably have to order a new Cortese and then sell the one I h... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Baranyi.I would suggest that you consider jumping up to the new Cortese if your budget can stand it. Mick has upgraded the Cortese & Grange but left the Syrah alone at this point. The Syrah is beautiful and the Cortese (older version) is heave... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Linkster.I would suggest that you get either a Grange, Cortese or Syrah rather than a line stage only Supratek pre. The incremental cost of getting a model with the phono stage included is very little compared to the value (many believe the phono ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite.Please do share your observations on the new power cord once it is in and broken in. Assuming you love it, please also let us know how to get one.Thanks. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century .Steve1960.Thanks for your contributions to this thread. Your comments have been appreciated.I think it is wise to try to define what type of sound pleases one most and then work hard to find the best synergistic component combination that works t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Eccletique,I had great success with the Symposium Rollerblocks but not with their Stands (tried the Ultra Symposium and Svelte) under any of my equipment. My best results came from Silent Running Audio custom made stands followed by Zoethecus Z-Sl... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite,I have had great success with Symposium Roller Blocks (w/Grade 3 Tungsten Carbide Balls)under both pieces of my Cortese. Do you have any experience with Roller Blocks ? If not, you might want to give them a try. The have been amazing under ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century .Asa, Thanks for taking the time and interest to make your observations and suggestions - It's greatly appreciated.I will try to catch up with the Teres crowd to get their ideas on an Arm and Cartridge. I was thinking of only getting the newest Gr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stevem1960Thanks for your comments on the Cabernet. My thoughts were that the new Cabernet/Grange might be significantly better than the older (Feb 2003) Cortese model that I have. I was wondering if the combination of moving one step up in model ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century JazzdudeI am sitting with a Cortese and absolutely love it. Based on Mick's improvements on the Cortese and Grange that he announced on this thread late last fall, I am wondering whether I should jump to the Grange or send my Cortese off for an up... | |

| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player Swampwalker, Thanks for the idea of the XLR/RCA interconnect. Somewhere along this thread or possibly in the "Pre-amp Deal of the Century" thread that focuses on Supratek pre-amps, someone had commented that they perceived no sonic difference betw... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Asa, Eccletique & Bwhite, Thanks so much for all of the incredibly well articulated help. As a result, I am off to see the tube Wizard and take advantage of your collective advice. I will let you know where I land and how it all turns out. Now... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player Tvad I was not referring to you at all with the "complaining in public" comment. I was addressing your point of the imbalance of there being a great deal more positive reactions/reviews than a greatly lesser amount of negative comments/reviews and... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player Tvad, This will be a long response:I agree completely that there is an imbalance of more positive to negative reactions / reviews of equipment. I think that is in part due to the enthusiasm of someone "who has found it" for that moment and they wa... |
