| 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 | |
| Bendix 6106 burn-in behavior Correct - not a direct answer. But I will be following up with him on this and other similar questions.BTW, don't underestimate the stock tube configuration. I think I personally had become somewhat infatuated with the idea of rolling tubes, and a... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Yes, I can confirm that Mick is on vacation. He should be back in the next few days.BTW, there was some interest expressed over on the "preamp deal of the century" thread in a Supratek owners thread. I do plan to create one soon. It will be a plac... | |
| Help selecting a new preamp Waltersalas-I am interested in hearing your thoughts about how the Sachs compares to the Suprateks you owned. Would you be willing to share some thoughts on that? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I think I it might be time to start Supratek owners thread... Anyone else interested? | |
| Which solid state power house: Naim NAP 500DR or McIntosh MC611? My counsel (unasked for, I know) is , after you've got it sorted properly, is to set it and forget it and just buy/enjoy the music. The Talmud says "the wise man is the contented man". You've certainly got a system that should be able to deliver t... | |
| Bendix 6106 burn-in behavior In my correspondence with Nick he did not directly advise me or suggest that the 6106 was incompatible with the Cortese. But I do recall reading a post somewhere to that effect. But he doesn't call it out on his substitution list, so maybe that sh... | |
| Used Pre under $8K with lowest nosie floor(?) My Supratek Cortese is silent. | |
| Bendix 6106 burn-in behavior Thanks to both of you for your responses. Here's a little more information - The builder of my preamp has advised that the tube is faulty. Replacing the Bendix 6106 with the stock tube immediately eliminated the problem, and the seller has issued ... | |
| Which solid state power house: Naim NAP 500DR or McIntosh MC611? Jeredh - How do you like the sound of your system? Markus | |
| Will a pair of Manley tube amps be a good match for Martin Logan ESL 11A's? I was about to provide the same counsel as mijostyn above, and am gratified to read it here before I posted it. Roger Sanders excellent white paper on tubes vs transisters explains a lot.My .02 is that you probably can pair Manleys with the Martin... |
