| Preamp Deal of the Century Aurel, I am happy with the Plinius + Supratek combo. The Mute function of the power amp is a must before turning on/off the Supratek preamp. The Mute really "kills" the output of the power amp, so don't worry.Kenji | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mondie, the Genalex KT-66 tubes are hard to get nowadays especially the smoke glass version. I got a matched pair (through a friend) for about three hundred bucks. They sound sweet and warm with powerful bass.Kenji | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Slowhand, the number is correct. I called Mick on Tuesday without any problem.Kenji | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I meant NU 350B's, not NU 350A's in my post above.Cheers,Kenji | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Ethifi for the advice. There are only two toggle swictches on top of my Cabernet, one is HT bypass and the other is Mute. I did not ask for a Tape Loop in my preamp. Everything is working fine now and the sound was "Amazingly Satisfying &am... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Problem solved! Checked all the tubes again and found the 6SN7's were dead cold - unplugged umblical cord and reconnected it, still dead cold but the rest of the tubes were okay. Unplugged umblical cord and reverse it, the side connected to preamp... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Help! No sound is coming out from my new Cabernet. I called Mick and followed his instruction, all toggle switches (HT & Mute switches) were switched towards front, RCA/XLR output toggle switch to RCA (since I'm using only RCA ICs), input posi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century My Cabernet is on its way! My Cabernet is on its way!It'll arrive just before X'mas (crossing my fingers now). I hope FedEx will do a good job and pleeeease don't screw up my X'mas!Merry X'mas and Happy New Year,Kenji | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Ecclectique, I got a pair of smoke glass Genalex KT-66 today. I just couldn't resist the opportunity even though the 350B's are the best. However, the Genelex is only half the price of the NU 350B's. Cheers,Kenji | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Eccletique! And congrats Mondie & Slipknot1! The Genelex KT-66's are expensive! Since I already have a pair of NU 350B, I will stick to these tubes and unless anyone can tell me the NU 350B is no match for the Sylania 6F6g or Genelex KT... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Genelex KT-66 (smoke glass) for power regulation -> Are they really good? BTW, Happy Thanks Giving to all Supratek Owners!Cheers,Kenji | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mondie, have you received your Cabernet? Dying to know how it sounds!!Sorlowski, I enjoyed reading your thread. It did not bore me to death, in fact it actually strengthened my faith in Supratek. I'm sure with you'll get your ideal "apartment" soo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Ecclectique for the clarification! My search for WE350b continues... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Guys, can CV345 (aka WE350A) made by STC in England be a substitute for WE350B? I have found these CV345's in my local hi-fi shop and the dealer claims these are as good as WE350B. Thanks. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mondie,PX4 tubes are normally for power amps whereas 101D are typically used on pre-amps. 101D is very microphonic and hard to obtain. According to Mick, he has found a way of using the PX4 to transfer the sound from 6NS7 with perfection (very sta... |
