Preamp Deal of the Century
How many, and which ones specifically have you replaced?

I'm still waiting on Mondeuse. Should be soon, I've been told.

I'm still waiting on my Cortese and Mondeuse. Cortese is actually ready, and Mondeuse is in the final assembly stage. 
Sistrum under VonSchweikert VR-4JR
I'll try, and will report my findings.

I thought so, SP-1 is too wide, and 101 is too expensive for now (it's half of my speakers full retail), but it could be a next step, if I like Sistrum enough.Theaudiotweak,I did contact Lrsky, and he vouched for Sistrum and Microbearing Steel fil...

Cenline,I actually meant to use SP-004 under the bottom unit.I have audiopoints on the bottom now.

Cenline,I hear you. The problem is, that only SP-004 will fit under VR-4JRs. (or two of them). SP-1 and 101 are too wide. Speaker is only 9.5" wide and 20" deep. Do you think one 004 is too small? It's only 13 " deep.

Stevem1960,Your points are very valid, and I did try to convince myself, that what I was hearing is the way actual instruments should sound like. But at times it simply was "too much".You are very right about a possible need for a "paradigm shift ...

I personally don't have any axes to grind, but my point is this: Just to make an example- in the field of medical research there is a term called "file drawer effect". What this means is- for instance if one is to read all published studies about...

Any group of posters devoted to one product, be it Supratek, or something else entirely, is a scewed sample.I imagine that only those with a positive experience will bother to post here.If I didn't like a certain component, I would never post in r...

I should put all my futher comments on hold, until I get my new Cortese and Mondeuse amps from Mick. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Zachzdb,Why are you putting yourself in a position to be a Supratek defender?. Neither one of us "slammed" Supratek. I clearly stated, that I love many things it does better, that many other preamps. I don't think Mick's business is going to suffe...
