| Preamp better than Cortese? I agree with Glreno that Brian's announcement will hurt Mick's reputation, and the value of all of us that currently own a Supratek preamp. My recently arrived Syrah is perfect and equals all of the excellent reviews here on Audiogon for build and... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The Syrah ordered in June has finally arrived! Beautifull construction. Any suggestions on amount of break-in required?? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mick advised that my Syrah is ready to ship!!! This was ordered mid - June, so 5 months was the backlog. I am looking forward to the Syrah and will express my impressions here. | |
| Any opinions on VTL mono-blocs MB450, etc ? You might also consider Air Tight ATM3 mono blocks. I have them matched to Genesis 500 speakers. A terrific value for the performance vs. price. I have not compared them to the VTL 450 amps, and would welcome feedback from anyone who has compared ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mick advised that construction of my Syrah will begin next week. My order dates to mid-June. Perhaps a Thanksgiving day treat!Thanks to all postings with advice on tube recommendation.This will be the next challenge. I have been working on dedicat... | |
| What tube amp mates well with Sonus Faber Amati's? I must agree with Anne that these speakers will have better control with larger amps. I use Airtight ATM3 mono tube amps which will drive the Sonus Fabers and control the bass. Other possibilities are ARC 200, VTL 250, VAC70/70, etc. I have listen... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Outlier,Congradulations on the Syrah shipping!! When did you order it?? Mick received my order in June, so I am hoping for a Xmas present! ( or Thanksgiving??) | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Jewel,I have the Genesis 500. They are designed for tube speakers with built-in bass amps. They do sound great with the Air Tight amps.I have not heard the Karma Ceramique, but they have great reviews.So the wait for the Supratek continues! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I place high value in the Audiogon discussion Forum, and when I see so much aclaim for Mick's Supratek preamps I find it hard to resist. So I didn't resist and have joined the group with an order for the Syrah. This preamp will join the Air Tight ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Syrah vs. ARC Ref 1Can anyone comment on this comparison?? Currently have the ARC preamp with Air Tight ATM3 amps. This combo is a little bright.Would enjoy your comments.Steve Noble | |
| Mark Levinson 383 or ML 334? I have a 383 and agree with your comments. It is a nice match for the B&W 805 speaker. The 383 is an outstanding value for the price, since it really is the pre380 matched with a small version of the 334. The advantage of the integrated is the... | |
| Genesis - where are they?? Mike -Please advise Bill@ Genesis suggestions to attempt to resolve amp problems. I have the 500's with neither amp working ( or I assume it is the amps). Perhaps these suggestions will isolate another issue.Thanks! | |

| ML 383 High Power shutdown Thanks Brian! I will contact Madrigal as you advise. | |
| Is an old Denon 800 tuner as good as a new Fanfare? Ulf,There is a big difference in Tuners. I now have the Fanfare after listening to several different tuners. The Fanfare is a great value for the price. ( other great tuners for 2 - 3 times the price of Fanfare). Since you have good reception the ... |
