Hi Gang. Ethifi.... congrats sir and let the chardonnay run in for a good couple of hundred hours before tube rolling. You will be impressed right out of the box. A couple of hundred hours of run in time allows the passive circuit parts,wire and t...

Hi Ecmlee. I wasn't aware that Mick had chosen the 6c4 in the chenin.My understanding is mick had implemented the common 6922/6dj8,s along with the 6j6 for phono gain in the new chenin .The 6c4 is no longer being produced so I would assume Mick ha...

Hi Kenji. Yes, think of both the genelex kt-66 and the we 350b's as an investment. The genelex kt-66 is a much sought after output tube and it's market value has near doubled in the last 3 years. [ they ain't making anymore!!] cheers David 
Favorite live LPs
Great thread here gang. Airtaxi: the Jazz at the Pawnshop sessions surely must be considered one of the all time greats regarding the art of capturing and recording a live event. The second session of that recording is another gem to search out. A...

Hey Kenji. Na.... you better send those NU 350b's to me and I'll send you a fresh pair of 6f6g's. The 350b's are the undisputed heavyweight champions of all time. They float like a butterfly and sting like a bee! It just doesn't get any better! En...

Hey Kenji. Yes sir, one of the best. Even better if you already have a pair to put in the preamp. Otherwise, I would suggest searching for a pair of the bottle shaped 6f6g's at approximately 25% of the genelex as they are every bit as good if not ...

Hello Sorlowski. I have never heard the manley neoclassic, however.... The 805c's partnered with the supratek is a marriage made in heaven. Far and away the best combo I've ever heard in my rig. They really seem to compliment each other in a syner...

Hi Gang. Jphii and Stiltskin, thank you for your kind words regarding my recommendation of the 6f6g as regulators in the suprateks. They still continue to be a revelation to me as well. Bwhite.... I am a little perplexed as to why the cv-181/ecc32...

Hi Gang. I really enjoyed Gumbei's "sibling anology" regarding the proac family of sound,rather appropriate here really. I am a big fan of stewart Tylers response series of proacs. When the original tablette was first introduced... it's only real ...

Hello Joe.Yes, I believe that is the one, however.... It is difficult for me to tell if they are rounded plates in the picture. If they are,and at that money: every Supratek owner should definetely grab a pair. Well done sir?
