Upgrade Krell KRC-3
I sold mine about 5 yrs ago and purchased a Supratek and never looked back. Unfortunately, they have closed up shop now. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Guys, I'll also throw in shipping and handling. On second thoughts why sell an absolute classic. What could I possibly replace the Dual with? It's taken me almost a decade to get to this point in my pursuit of hi-fi bliss. I mean let's face it, ho...

Just to add a little competition to the mix, I'll be willing to off-load my Cabernet Dual for $14.5k 
Hifi racks with isolation
I second the racks at www.audiav.comI had one shipped over after evaluating the Grand Prix and Finite Element. Btw, Audiav Crystal with granite signature shelves cost as much as the Grand Prix and more than the Finite Elemente 
Crossoverless Speakers - Ultimate Solution ?
Not bad, it's tight but lacks sufficient bass to balance out the speaker. I've heard these speakers matched to a 300B amplifier and a matching active Sub-Woofer from the same manufacturer and thought it sounded excellent. The sound was very detail...

kgturner,I also had a hum issue from one channel with my Cab Dual, but effectively reduce it by turning down the gain on the amps. A futher reduction in hum was obtained by re-routing the two umbilical cords on the Dual.

For the Cabernet Dual has anyone tried bi-amping using this preamp on a two-way pair of speakers that can be bi-wired.I've just hooked up a pair of 2A3 monoblocks to the 101D section which feeds the ribbon tweeter on the speakers and a pair of 13E... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK2 CD Puck.
I've also wondered about replacement pucks for this player 
Aero Capitole as a preamp?
Hi Saxman2,I have the Capitole MKII and was wondering if you knew how to disconnect the in-built pre-amp. I'm currently using the Supratek Cabernet Dual and find it superior to the one built into the Capitole. Thus, if I could by-pass the built-in...

Hi Powers,I've got two v-caps in my Cabernet Dual as well as a whole bunch of Auricaps. Mick did say the V-Caps in mine are in the position that make the most difference. I'm also considering removing them as I don't find the Cabernet Dual as musi...

All Supratek owners may want to read this short article by Srajan from 6moons on cap rolling (v-caps) and why he's going back to the stock Auricaps.lhttp://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/caprolling/caps.html 
Preamp Deal of the Century
The Midrange sounds sublime with the 101D including a very extended top end. Plus the amount of detail retreived is astonishing with this valve. I have two other friends who both have the Sauvignon model commenting on the sound quality of Mick's p...

I've tried using only the 6H30 section and it sounds a quiet sterile. Really need the 101D to get the magic.

Dracule1Only the gain for the 6H30 section (Bass) can be adjusted NOT the 101D.
