| Supratek tuning Agree on both remarks, Jazzdude. However, I was not asking which was the optimum gain setting period. I am just interested in understanding how Supratek owners set their gain switches, within their own systems and with what results. It's only a ma... | |
| New preamp or other suggestions? Two suggestions.Thiel tend to be bright and from my point of view they fail to involve the listener. For the oposite scenario I suggest Sonus Faber italian speakers: Cremona (3-way) or Guarneri (2-way). Then a Supratek preamp. So life-like and nat... | |
| Jadis Defy 7 vs Antique Sound Lab Hurricane None in particular. If I get a Jadis it will be a used one. Are the versions so different? Which ones would you recommend? | |
| Jadis Defy 7 vs Antique Sound Lab Hurricane I am writing from Europe. No Chevys, lots of BMWs. So which one is the BMW: the Jadis or the ASL? And, please, explain why...Thanks! | |
| Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema I/C's and S/C's Interconnect How do you compare Ridge Street cables with Bogdan? Tell me (us) all about it. Thanks. | |
| Plinius SA-102 vs Antique Sound Labs Hurricane Hi Nuno (Portuguese also?)Not Supratek versus Plinius in this case. It's Supratek (preamp) plus Plinius (power amp). I am still awaiting for my Chadonnay (september, i hope). Which Sonus Faber do you own? About the power amp, the Plinius is new (n... | |
| Supratek Chardonnay ins & outs Thanks Bwhite. It helped a lot.Left RCA input on the top and right on the bottom is good. It is like my Meridian (source). Top to bottom RCA outputs is also ok. What I find a bit strange is XLR outputs being top to bottom instead of left and right... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey, can anyone share a backside picture (big enough) of a SUPRATEK preamp (if possible with XLR outputs)? I need to know how Supratek inputs (RCA) and outputs (RCA + XLR) are organized. Where they stand and if they are placed right & left or ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi thereA month ago, I ordered a Chardonnay for myself. I've found lots of problems to transfer the money to Mick's account in Australia. In short, I've lost about US$150. I told Mick about it. His answer:"$150!!!!!!!!! You are getting ripped off ... | |
| Plinius 8150 as Preamp for Plinius SA-102 Redkiwi: yes, the 102 is new (a couple of days old). I do feel the sound is somehow stuck, it just does not flow. So, it was nice to know you had that problem also and that time solved it. Is it more easy sounding (and highs getting litle softer) ... | |
| Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp HiJust got a new Plinius SA-102. I must confess I have quite a strange feeling about this amp. Sometimes it sounds great (jazz trios), with an incredible sense of palpability. But other times it just sounds muddy. Plus, I do miss the smooth liquid... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Need some more info on the Chardonnay...1. Does anyone have a picture of it? Can you share it (or, if you prefer, send me by e-mail)? What about the remote, is there any picture avaliable?2. The goal is to match it with a Plinius SA-102 power amp.... | |
| Pathos Logos vs BAT 300X Do not know the BAT. As for the Logos, I did not like it. Compared to my former Plinius 8150, the overall sound is very dark and closed. Not in my list, that's for sure. | |
| ARC LS-5 vs SP-10/11 for Plinius SA-102 According to your statement, the LS-15 seems to be a fine choice. In your opinion, are these classics good enough? I ask because this preamp will meet the newest (and the best, IMHO) Plinius power amp and a couple of Sonus faber Cremonas... You al... | |
| Replacing Sovtek 6922 for NOS Hi again Jax2. Yes, it's me again (from Portugal). I have started a new thread for a couple of reasons: first, the title of yesterday's thread was correct afterall (!): the tube family is 6922/6dj8/E88CC (and not ECC82 as I said later). Then, I as... |
