| Preamp Deal of the Century i'm not sure if anybody else has seen this, but i found an interesting interview between mick and a member (perhaps mod) at an aussie audio forum from march 2007. pretty good read.http://www.stereo.net.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=2550 | |
| What's up with the 'Piano' gloss???? i have owned two pair of piano black speakers. both were bought used so i didn't have any options. when i bought my used von schweikert dB99 speakers, there was also another pair finished in macassar ebony for about $5000 more. as much as i LOVE t... | |
| Car Battery as Power Source there are two guys who use optima batteries to power some parts of their system. just do a system search for "optima" | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century sorlowski:here is a picture of an auricap:http://www.soniccraft.com/images/Auricap.gifi can see where the A does look like a Q. regarding the change from 1uF to .56uF, i think mick or kevin would be the best person to ask about that. | |
| Best CHEAP long under-carpet speaker cable if you don't want to spend a fortune, check out this cable made by DeCorp:http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/flatwire.htmlyou can get it in 12 gauge (.008"), 14 gauge (.006"), and 18 gauge (.004"). i've never used the wire before so i can't commen... | |
| VS DB-99's yeah, vsa dropped them around november of last year from what i recall. i had luckily picked up a used pair right before the annoucement. when i called vsa to ask a question about the model, albert explained that they were discontinued due to low ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century slowhand:i remember mick discussing a DAC as well. he was considering selling it for $500 for basic casing and upwards of $600 in a preamp-matching wood (piano black)/chrome casing from what i recall. i was going to wait on it, but found a great d... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century fyi:mick updated the supratek site with new pics of the malbec and mondeuse. i didn't notice any other changes though. | |
| bands you truly miss i'll second 16 horsepower. by the time i found out about them, they had already broken up. great stuff. i'll throw pink floyd and nirvana in as well. | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century mark:i'd suggest you email mick and see if you can't ship the sauvignon to either him or kevin covi (depending on your location) for repair. i know you stated that you had the preamp checked out, but i would tend to believe that mick or kevin coul... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century zachzdb:srajan uses the definition pro which allow for bi-amping. he has a rane eq which sends the low frequency to the woofer arrays. not sure what his reference bass amp is. he appears to switch between the yamamoto/supratek and the melody integ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century stiltskin:still waiting on the cabernet dual. nothing to report on the malbecs per se. i think i mentioned it before, but the malbecs are very unlike any tube amp i've ever used. they aren't particular warm, romantic, or colored, but they're not s... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century jaguarcondor:are you referring to supratek preamps? plenty of people have received them. i just sold my chardonnay in favor of mick's reference linestage, the cabarnet dual. the supratek website appears to be up and running to me. try here:http://... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century jtgofish:that's odd that mick has such an aversion to silver cables. from what i recall, he wires the entire preamp with silver wire. i once asked him which cables he preferred to which he stated that anything over $200 for a pair is ridiculous in... |
