| Paypal question-pin number I haven't received one and I see no reason why Paypal.com would want it. They access your account through your account number and your bank's specific routing number. I would HIGHLY suggest you not give out your PIN in a solicited email. Just in c... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century slowhand:if your cortese is anything like my chardonnay, the switch in the right front is mute (toward the front is off, toward the back is on), the switch between the towers is ht/bypass (front - off, back - on), and the switch on each side of th... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody anybody bothered to try the valve art 350b? we and nu are too pricey for my taste. at $50 for a pair i might take the risk in the near future. | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products i own a pair of cary slm-200 monos. they were built almost 10 years ago and they are still running fine. i'll probably ship them back to cary next year to have a tech upgrade to jensen caps and give a complete check up. only problem i've ever had ... | |
| Best 10K Speaker gershman acoustics avant garde go down to 24Hz and retail around $5k. i don't know if you've heard them, but i think they are worth a listen if you have the chance. | |
| Pass Preamps i had a pass x2.5 preamp and plinius sa-102 for a brief period. to me, the pass preamp was just too cold and analytical sounding to my ears. i'm currently using a supratek chardonnay for pre and a pair of cary slm-200 for amps so my leaning is tow... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century thanks, wc. i had emailed mick a while back and asked about the burgundy amps. he informed me that he had discontinued them and was working on a 100 watt kt88 amp. i'm pretty sure the current kt88 on his site isn't capable of 100 watts from just t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century i was browsing the supratek site and noticed a new supratek monoblock amps. they're just called the supratek kt88. i guess mick hasn't sobered up from all the wine yet :) i shot him an email with a few questions. anybody happen to know anything ab... | |
| Which one should I pick? i think i'd go with the almarro set as your speakers are pretty efficient. as long as you're not jamming out to death metal, you should be ok. | |
| Tube amp suggestions for a Joule LA-200 aes sixpacs at 50 watts? they are $2400 new, but i think there's a used pair here on the 'gon (not mine). 6 el-34 per monoblock. not sure about the input impedance though. good luck. | |
| AES/CARY Sixpac Mono Amps,Anyone have these? i demoed a pair direct from aes. they will let you return them if you are not satisfied. just asked before you commit to buy. the sixpacs didn't have enough punch for my 87dB efficient gershmans so i ended up buying a used pair of cary slm-200 mon... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century fiddler:my chardonnay shipped with eh 6sn7. from what i recall, the sound was really good. my cary monos are also using 2 eh 6sn7's. i am currently running some black glass ken rads in the chardonnay. your post reminded me that i haven't actually ... | |

| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers gershman acoustics avant garde rx-20! they go down to 24 Hz and can be had for around $2500-$2800 on the used market. i own a pair and they are far and away the best speaker i've ever heard / owned. they can be tight and powerful yet refined and d... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody ray:i'm not trying to me mean, but i've read many of your threads and one thing always irks me. since we are on the subject of spelling, it is chardonnAy not chardonnEy. but either way you spell it, it's a great preamp. i should know, i suffered t... |
