| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 Sorry guys I made a mistake in my last post, too much red vine, the gain is too high on the 6SN7 output, the adjustment works on the 300B, but unfortunately I loose the right channel when activating the gain switch, have sent pictures to Mick of t... | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I use two Rothwell’s at my power amp inputs which helps a little bit, no the 300B is still too high, I asked Mick if the power amp would work with the Cabernet and he said no problem!!! I didn’t think I would have this problem, so never looked fo... | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I like to be able to change between them, the 6SN7 is more detailed, but the 300B can sound very nice with small assemble jazz. It is useable, but could be interesting trying an amp better suited to the gain of Supratek. Accuphase has some class ... | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I wish that was true, turning the gain all the way down I can only use 15-20% of the volume knob. Also the gain only can be turned down on the 300B output. | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I ended up getting the Belles SA30 class A power amp, great sound, only problem is a bit of a gain mismatch with my Supratek Cabernet pre, it sounds great, only my volume control is a bit hampered by both being high gain amps, so still interested ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Nickb, how do you like the Van Alstine amp ? and your dac ? Nice system. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Thanks for input, I ordered a pair of Genalex - Gold Lion PX-300B Looking forward to try them out. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Hi guys, one of my Electro Harmonix 300B tubes stopped working on my Cabernet and I was wondering getting some other brand, as I was not so impressed with the Electro Harmonix, they did not have enough detail for me. What tubes would you guys... | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive I have the same problem, use a Roth 10 rca attenuation, works ok. | |
| Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work Impedance matching and voltage output can be tricky. My Supratek Cabernet pre has very high output and makes finding power amps a bit difficult especially if one is looking for class A power amps. | |
| Speakers for string Quartets I have the Graham Audio LS 5/9 and they are really great with string quartets, also with Jazz they are sublime. If in a big room, they need a strong amp, meaning a good power supply. Also I find that they sound great on low volume. Good luck wi... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier Who is listening at 100db and higher? I mostly listen at 64-85db, occasionally hitting 90db which is too loud for for more than a few minutes! | |
| QLN Speakers anyone Speakers are the one combo to get really right in a system, my experience is that speakers that wow you from the get go seldom satisfy for long term. Also speakers take time to get right, maybe you need to place them a bit differently than the... | |
| QLN Speakers anyone Give them time, if I wasn’t so happy with my Graham Audio speakers, I would definitely buy me some QLN, had the old signature speakers for many years, lovely sound. | |
