| Supratek Owners Thread If next to each other, I would give them at least 6' of space. In that it is a transformer coupled design (output).. those OPT's will pick up any stray/strong EM. Generally not a huge concern but the PS is just that and you wouldn't want the... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread LOL, Rumor is correct. Western part of state in the Blue Ridge Mtns. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @budburma Yep, I'm here and happy to help. Shoot Mick an email and ask for my contact info. A'gon won't let me post it here. These units carry a transferable lifetime warranty (provided they hav'nt been modded), so if anything is wrong due ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I would maybe think the Chard but ymmv. It's always a personal preference at the end of the day. Can't go wrong with either. Maybe start with a Chard., less exp. and see if you feel like your wanting of anything. Most likely will be very happ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread depends on your system and what your after. they are 2 different circuits with the later incorporating some CCS. The Cab's sound a little more hifi or tend show some more contrast in the music than the Chardonnay. Thusly I would call the Char... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @luisma probably isn't but only 1 maybe 2 of the new Grange pre's with their owners yet. I believe he only shipped the 1st one within the last month. There's alot going on in that pre and it takes Mick a long time to complete the build. ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @markusthenaimnut in regards to your ques. above. I've been running mine (LCR) for the last 2 years without issue. The pre will stay on for 8-10 hrs at a time on a regular basis. No small tube failure yet. I have found that I prefer the 6... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Hey @markusthenaimnut I dont believe that I have listened to Chenin specifically. I have had a few of the older units, Grange, Syrah and Chardonnay come through. They all sound wonderful once within spec. Without seeing the insides, it'... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I do,.. Cortese LCR, but am going to move to a Grange when Mick has time to make it. Also have an older Chardonnay I picked up that I am currently refurbing to bring up to current spec/circuit. It doesn't have a remote so will probably add t... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread The 6J5 pulls half the heater current (.3ma) of a SN7 (.6ma).. BUT, you have 2 of them per channel vs 1 sn7 so the total heater current draw is the same. This does not effect the longevity of the tube provided it is being run at or close to the... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @couger4u In regards to the gain control. This is essentially a volume control placed at the end of the signal chain. The main (front panel) volume knob is placed on the input, before the 1st tube stage. If the 'gain' is engaged and the kno... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @couger4u so did you ever clear up the hum that came from the speakers? Is the only hum your concerned with now from the unit itself (mechanical)? These 2 different types of noise/hum would point (seemingly) to 2 different issues. Have yo... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @couger4u , start with no inputs (no sources plugged in) and only the output connected to your amp. If you have a couple shorting plugs you can use on the 'selected' input use them. With the vol. dwn if the amp is quiet and there is no more ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread DC after the reg is already smooth. (that's what the reg does, ;-)) those 10Kuf help knock the ripple down before the reg so it doesn't work as hard and produce as much heat. Again,. I suspect it is tied into the supplemental V circuit used to ... |
