| Supratek Owners Thread Hi audio123,What other 6SN7s did you try? Those WE6SN7s look very cool. | |
| Supratek Hi Charlie,As a new Supratek owner I read that thread in some detail before finalizing my decision to buy a Cortese preamp. I was saddened when that thread, which had over 26 million views, was deleted. All I can tell you is what I read in the F... | |
| Looking for A Cost Effective Phono Amp- Any suggestions?" Plinius Harrah (used) sounds very good and can handle both MM and a wide variety of MC cartrdges via internal dip switches. | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? What a great thread this is! Lots of well-written, clear information.My suggestion to the OP is to read Roger Sanders excellent white paper titled something like "tubes vs transistors". IMHO the information he shares will also help illuminate the ... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr I own ESL63s and have enjoyed them for about 5 years, even in a "way too small - that will never work" bedroom converted to a listening room. I thunk that room is even smaller than what you are describing. I drive them with an Innersound Electro... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Charliee,What tubes have you rolled? What have you found to make the biggest difference? What is your favorite configuration?In all my emails with Mick he's basically expressed the idea that tube rolling is unnecessary for his preamps. | |

| Supratek Owners Thread hey audio123,Which other 6SN7s did you try? And (sorry), please help me know exactly which Shunguangs you are loving, because they seem to have a bunch of different ones, all slightly different.Thanks | |
| AMP or Preamp Here's a thought to get you started that won't cost a thing. Read Roger Sanders white paper on tubes vs. Transistors. You might find this helpful. You can track I this down on his website; Sanders sound systems. Consider the number of sources yo... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I do not know. Will ask Mick next time I email him on another topic. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Jayctoy - The phono preamp is very, very good. As noted above, I am using a Dynavector 17D3 cartridge on a Linn Ittok arm. I have previously owned (and enjoyed) the Dynavector 10x5 mkII, which is a very nice cartridge, and, many years ago, a Sumik... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread One more comment - I'm using the stock tube set, none of which are considered boutique. And the Cortese Gen. 3 sounds absolutely amazing.This preamp has taught me that Quad ESL63s can do bass quite well. For those who claim that they don't, I simp... | |
| McIntosh MA 9000 vs Luxman 509x I have not tried both of these, but I spent a glorious weekend at a friend's house where he has the Luxman, driving a pair of Dali Epicon 8s. It was absolutely wonderful. The Luxman replaced a Prima Luna, and Epicon 8s replaced modified and upgrad... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Audio123 -Thanks for the heads-up on the Audio Mirror Tubador. I'm going to have to look into that.Please post on the new "Supratek Owners Thread".Thanks,Markus |
