Preamp Deal of the Century
Mick is outfitting my cabernet with these tubes. He is sending along the stock tubes, but on his recommendation, I asked him to build with these tubes. It's been along wait, 8 1/2 months, but hopefully soon I'll get the word! 
David Elrod. the man , the cable the company.
I just purchased a used pc. It has a rather large crease in it. Is this cause for concern?

Interesting. When did you order your preamp? I placed an order for a Cabernet in January, but have asked for some "mods". I exchanged e-mails with Mick late last week, but still no mention of a delivery time frame. Can you let me know when you ord... 
McIntosh - is it that great?
I own the mc352 (350 wpc) and love the punch and detail it brought out for my b&w N802. I previously owned a conrad johnson mf2500 (240 wpc), and while I enjoyed that amp, I felt the speakers needed more punch. The mac provided that and much m...

Nice to see some traffic here. I am in my fifth month, happily waiting on a Cabernet. I love reading and researching while I wait, all the details to follow. 
BEST match for B&W Natilus 802s
I run my N802'2 with a Mcintosh 352, and it is fabulous. So musical. Prior to the mc, I was using a Conrad Johnson MF2500, which was ok, but give them some juice and the really come alive.

I ordered a Cabernet the first week in January, and haven't heard much from Mick outside of the first rounds of e-mails. I'm hoping for a June delivery, but don't realy know. Anyone have a good idea of the current timeline?

Tally up best preamplifier ever

Best speakers circa 77-79'
I had a pair of Koss cross fire something or other with selectable cross over frequency's. I thought they were great, but the paper woofers lost theri pliancy and that was that, I moved on to Dalquist DQM-9, very nice and then traded them in for a... 
CJ Premier 10 - still competitive?
The premier 10 is a fabulous pre-amp. It is simiular to the 17, save for the lack of a remote. The body is different, but the electronics are very similar. It is a great way to get into high end tube pre's at a very reasonable cost. Look on a A'go...

Cabernet users, I am expecting my pre-amp anywhere from now until the summer!, but I'd love to hear some feedback. Stock tubes, rolled tubes, how long a break in period. I am matching with a solid state mac 352 and driving B&W 802's. Balanced ...

Update, it was a stanton cartridge, not a shure.
