Preamp Deal of the Century
Kgturner,If I remember correctly, didn't your Malbecs had a noise, from the day one, that even Kevin Covi couldn't fix?Maybe those were somebody else's Malbecs.Just another testimony to a product being offered for sale to the public, that wasn't e...

Waltersalas,I questioned the integrity of SOME Supratek owners, not of Supratek owners, and that's a principal difference.And by any means, I didn't look for support, if I did, I would have posted two years ago, when Supratek was still in business... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I actually didn't expect anything less, but a repetition on the same theme- majority is always right.Just to answer some specifics- Tvad- I did return the amps immediately. I have contacted Mick the very next day, I took delivery of the amps, and ...

Ait,I don't know what is it in my post, that made an impression, I was looking for a fight?Does it come across as a little bit angry? That's probably because I'm angry.Allow me to explain why:First, I wasted many months waiting for the new amps, s... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Well,I do believe Mick was more attentive to his customers in the early years of Supratek, my experience correlates with the late stages of it's existence, and it was very clear, that his priorities had shifted.I owned three of his pieces, and my ...

That's interesting,Somebody asking- what's new with Supratek, and when something less, than positive posted- no responses.This whole "Preamp of the century" thread makes me to re- think value of A-gon posts and integrity of some of it's members. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I'm not making any moves. I'm raher expectantly waiting for $2000 Mick owes me for over a year now.I don't get response to every of my e-mails, just one out of 3-4, when I'm reminded, that I will get paid, when he has money. I'd give it another si... 
On one leg or two legs?
Well,It's not tubes, at least not the power tubes. I switched them around, hum stays with the same amp.I guess, BAT will have to take a look. 
On one leg or two legs?
Al,Yes, that's what I'll try tonight. 
On one leg or two legs?
Actually, I just wanted to post about something I did last night-I moved amps L to R, and the hum moved as well, but I have also noticed, that a level is lower on the side of a humming amp (center image moved to the opposite side),I double- checke...

I'll try radio 
On one leg or two legs?
Ozzy,I run them balanced 
On one leg or two legs?
One last thing- I switched the amps left to right, and the hum moved too. I don't know, maybe it's inherent to that amp? At any rate, hum is there. 
On one leg or two legs?
Don't know where to begin, well:I was hoping to find interference from my PC or cable, but no luck. I disconnected and unplugged PC, cable modem, wireless router, switched off all breakers, except the power amps- hum is still there.Tried different... 
On one leg or two legs?
Jea48,I will check the power cords tonight.Al,Now, that you said it, I do have wireless router next to my desktop computer in the basement, transmitting to my wife's laptop, she's using in the kitchen upstairs. Transmitter is closer to the L chann...
