| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Marcus,Having purchased the Allnic H7000 a few months back I can certainly vouch for it's presentation. Had I known about the Cortese I would have gone in that direction primarily for the savings. Of all my components the Allnic disappears to t... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? I have some ribbon power cords that had a dramatic break in process. Won't bore anyone with the details but initially my system had the flu. There isn't a person on this forum that could listen to it for more than 15 minutes. Checked my stylus fo... | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really Early eighties with a pair of MCIntosh 275s, JBL 250 Pyramids and a Theta tube pre, Win Strain Guage cart. CDs came out and I went for the format. No noise, how cool! When my interest waned just figured I had outgrown sitting around listening to... | |

| Best home remedy for paper cone woofers cleaning the dust off? Feather duster. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I went to Grant, but saw them yesterday on Amazon for considerably less. Ouch.Don't know though if Amazon has the "special low noise" tubes culled out. Mick mentioned that the Psvane Tlls were the best. I have four different NOS 6SN7 pair but don'... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Could we go back to cable elevators for a minute. Never tried any but with my relatively recent experience with power cords and interconnects being positive I might be interested. Especially if it expands my sound stage. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Have had my Supratek Gen 3 Chardonnay in the system for about two weeks. Went with some Psvane 6SN7 TII tubes. Last night things blossomed. Full, rich with amazing detail. Seems there's somewhat of a cult regarding these. Well, sign me up. Could h... | |
| mc275 tube options NOS Tung Sol 6550s. I have a couple of quads and use them in MC60 amps. Expensive but very musical. | |
| Slight Hardness on LP's Call Mick at Supratek. Australian preamps or combo phono/preamps. You might check his blog. Easy to find on the internet.He makes 6SN7 preamps and 300B direct heated triode preamps as well. | |
