| 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. | |
| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc I own a lot of CDs and vinyl. More and more these days I'm just streaming. I have a new DAC that helps things sound good - in general I'd say "near CD quality". It is an MHDT Orchid.I also think this is a great time to buy CDs - prices are good an... | |
| SET vs Class A vs tubes vs Class AB amps I think you might find the Sanders white paper on Tubes vs. Transistors to be educational. Look for sanderssoundsystems.com or something like that. | |
| Fear of Streaming My experience reflects many of those who have posted above. In my music room I have about 6000 lps and many boxes of 45s. Some 78s. Three turntables, two phono stages. I enjoy playing vinyl. And sorting through a box of 45s. It's fun.However, I st... | |
| Tube amp forethought Kinda seems like this thread dropped off the face of the earth. Here's my .02 - I put together a retirement system incorporating tubes (in the preamp) and Quad ESL 2805 speakers. I previously used ESL 63 speakers, and they are wonderful. After som... | |
| "Matching" of dual triode tubes - how close? To be specific, my question is focused on use of 6SN7s in a preamp. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread dentdog - Are you saying you talked to Mick about the Psvane T11s? Please understand I'm not trying to be obtuse, I just want to understand. Whenever I've traded emails about tube-rolling with Mick he basically advised me to spend my money elsewhe... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Guys - couple questions about the Chinese tubes.I see Grant Fidelity is offering (at a very high price) the Psvane CV-181 TII tubes. Also, for a much lower price, what they are calling the WE6SN7s. On ebay I see the CV-181 tubes & various vers... | |
| Spotify sound inprovement. One reason I love Spotify is that their curating algorithm is excellent and always manages to ferret out music I haven't heard before that is right up my alley. I also like the simplicity of the interface. | |
| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 Loganfan - Thanks for sharing the results of your upgraded Oppo 205. Your description makes it sound like a very attractive option.Having said that, I'll be interested and looking forward to the results of any tube-rolling you do with this unit.Wa... | |
| Need a new DAC Certainly you're aware that there is no shortage of well-regarded DACs available these days. The mind boggles. What fun though, to be in a position to pull the trigger on a new one. |
