| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? What a fun journey to start! I suggest you read Roger Sanders white paper on transistors versus tubes or something like that. It's on the Sanders sound systems website. | |
| Luxman - Shindo - Mcintosh ? Hi Mark, Fun quest!As you are just starting your journey I suggest you take a look the "Preamp Deal of the Century" thread to learn about the Supratek preamp and also do a search on Don Sachs. When new these are very high value options and you als... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Cal3713,That's gonna be a shootout I'll be interested in hearing the results of. Please post here. Thanks | |

| Upgrade Speaker Cables or Interconnects Lots of talk on here about power, and I concur. I have addressed this element of my system via a Goal Zero lead-acid battery generator. This generates are perfect, noise-free 60-hz sine wave. It has dropped the noise floor in my system significant... | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? I humbly suggest the OP also consider installing something like a Goal Zero Yeti lithium-ion battery generator as his power source. In my system such a device lowered my noise floor (I didn't even consider that I had a "noise floor" in my system, ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century 1. Phono stage (LCR in my Cortese) is superb. Note that Allnic charges many many thousands of dollars (I'm not confident of the prices I've seen in my searches on the 'net tonight and don't want to guesstimate) but it is included in the Cortese. T... | |

It seems to me that there are three different positions displayed:1. I didn't expect it to make a difference, but it did. Now I'd like to share with... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Greetings Bob and All -Wonderful thread with lots of useful perspectives. I've had my Orchid for a couple of weeks and love it. It sounds a lot better now than it did when it started out and seems to take about 30-45 minutes before it really sound... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Also, as others might have mentioned, he has a blog that he sometimes (rather infrequently) posts on. I got a lot out of it when I went through it. There's a link to a link on the Supratek website. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Highstream - Sorry I overlooked your question. I was wrestling with the same question and was on the verge of ordering the Sachs preamp when I learned about the Supratek series. I elected to go with the Supratek partly because I could get it with ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Thanks Dentdog.One comment is that it appears that the marketing department of various Chinese tube manufacturers have become very good at developing variations that reference well-regarded 6SN7 varieties of the past. There are so many out there n... | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay Supratek preamps are wonderful. It is common for Supratek owners to state that their preamp is the one component of their system that they do not plan to upgrade.I love my Cortese! | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Thanks, highstream. Now if we can only get some responses about all these infinite varieties of new production 6SN7 tubes maybe we'll get somewhere. |
