| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Dracule1,Originally the Cabernet Dual was noisy as I noticed it had a quite a bit of hum coming from the power supply. Amazingly, after placing the Dual on my new Audiav Crystal Rack, the noise has completely vanished (dead quiet). Go figure ?I... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I like the new Cabernet Dual. It's quite different to the Sauvignon. The 101D imparts a holographic image which outclasses the Sauvignon and the top end is simply sublime.I decided to go for the Dual, simply because I felt I had hung on too long w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Powers,You are correct in my Cabernet Dual, the 6sn7s drive both the 6H30 and the 101 stages. The bass bloat occurs with the 101D section with WE350B as I'm only using the 101D section.The Sovtek KT66 is not bad, just a little etchy with a litt... | |

| Confusion about "high-end" racks Hi Ken,I just had a Audiav Crystal rack delivered to Australia around 2 weeks ago. This model had all Signature Granite Composite shelves, mag shielding and cable management.The rack means serious business and looks a million bucks.You can have a ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I've spoken to Mick about using the Bendix, he said the voltages are a little different. He said the safer bet is the Mullard GZ34 | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just wondering if anyone has used the genuine Bendix 6106 on the Cabernet Dual or similar. I've got 2 of these lying around but want to ensure nothing blows up. They worked quite well on my previous Sauvignon.Thanks | |
