| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Interesting Jazzdude, I also run the Sylvania 6SN7GT 1952 "bass kings" in my Chardonnay and I have noticed no drop in bass performance with the 6106s. Actually, to the contrary. The bass quantity hasn't increased with the 6106s over the 5AR4/GZ34s... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Can anyone recommend a reliable source for Tungsol Round Plates. I figure I have to try a pair if everyone says they are so great.Thanks in advance. | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Aloha Brian,If you can make it over to Maui, I would love to have you in as guests to my show. The only night I am dark is Sunday nights. Any other night its two shows per night. If you can't make it this trip, let me know next time you are headed... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Bwhite, you are a genius.I tried the 6106 months ago and I think I was the first to slam the tube for having weird timing. Didn't like it at all.I took your advice and let it burn in for three days. Wham! This tube rocks. Clearly better than the v... | |
| What's after Supratek Norm, no one has a vendetta against you. Why are you so paranoid? And this has nothing to do with the fact that I own a Supratek. My beef is you saleshacking the Exemplar and H-Cat anytime anyone mentions another preamp. We all know that you think... | |
| What's after Supratek Tbg,There is a such a word as "saleshacking" that is used in the forums at AA and you are fully aware of its meaning. To refresh your memory, here is a post from an AA board member to you, I quote:"RTF'n rules: Dealers register : All "members of t... | |
| What's after Supratek Norm, I haven't "willfully ignored" the back and forth about the H-Cat. Who could possibly ignore it! You are like a broken record. The fact that you were listed as a dealer for Exemplar; combined with your constant drum-beat for the Exemplar and ... | |
| What's after Supratek I have received emails from an individual who has heard both the Exemplar and the H-Cat and he said he had never heard such garbage (I'm paraphrasing). I have no dog in this fight, but I trust and respect the opinion of the source.Tbg (Norm) are y... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have received emails from an individual who has heard both the Exemplar and the H-Cat and he said he had never heard such garbage. I have no dog in this fight, but I trust and respect the opinion of the source.TBG (Norm) are you still a dealer f... | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay Bwhite,As you and I discussed, the stock volume pot is one of the problems with transparency in the Chardonnay. BTW, what does the Cortese use for volume control?I don't know why Mick insist on using the stock Alps pot (other than cost). The DACT ... | |
| Interconnects: a conductor is a conductor, right? Sean, if you read Steve's follow-up, he wasn't supporting Curl (or you) with his post. He was being sarcastic and even said so.Steve quotes you:"I know that some very limited testing that i've performed has shown differences in distortion and micr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Brian, the noise was a mechanical hum from the transformer in the power supply of my Supratek. Rather loud. Now there is just a faint hum that you can hear if you put your ear near the hole in the top of the power supply.Before I could easily hear... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Swampwalker,I had the same problem. It was DC on the line. I fixed it with a combination of the 'Ah! AC Offset Killer' and an isolation transformer. The 'Ah! AC Offset Killer' seemed to be 90% of the cure.Now there is just a teeny hum that you hav... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century A question for you guys.I have just received a new Berning ZH270 with the wire upgrade. Haven't received the cryoed tubes yet, Allan will be sending these in the next few weeks. I have about 6-7 hours on the amp and it is improving each hour. I am... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Warrenh,Geez, in front of the fireplace! Are you crazy, brah. It's 82 degrees outside. Well, at least it is here on Maui !You were the first that I remember singing the praises of the Caravelles (a bit too often I might add :), but it seems from t... |
