| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances On the used market, Innersound Electrostatic amplifier. Or Sanders or Coda.

| Best SET power amp below $5,000 Lots of good ideas posted on this thread. However, I think if you follow the link to Whammerdyne website and read what they have to say about their SET amps you'll find that their are designers who are not simply recycling older designs. And, ha... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Perfect. Thanks. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @firstgrowth can you please explain a little bit about what you mean by you "rewired everything"? It sounds like you had to rebuild the preamp. I'm guessing that what you meant was that you simply reconnected everything in your system and re-seate... | |
| Time to upgrade the pre-amp. Seems to me you're a pretty experienced audiophile and already have a pretty solid sense of direction. You might just want to go with the options you're already considering. I think you've got some good recommendations. And I'll add another, belo... | |

| 300B Advice Before you spend a lot of money on the higher priced 300B options I suggest you read everything you can find about the various options. There are so many kinds of 300B tubes for sale at the present that it can be bewildering. The JJ tubes don't g... | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE @pinwa Sorry for that. My preamp is a Supratek Cortese. Note that I did not say that different tubes don't have a different sound. I think they do. Hence my preference for KenRad VT231s. Or red-base 5682s. I have enough tubes that I've always been... | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE I do not have any experience with these tubes. However, I have been interested in new production 6SN7 tubes for about three years, dating from when I purchased my tube preamp. When I first started tube-rolling in my preamp almost everything I rea... | |
