| Review: Sistrum Mini-Minitor Platform Support-SMM 1 Stand Thanks Warren,I just wanted to see a pic of them. I have floor standers so it wouldn't be something I could use anyway.Regards,Patrick | |
| Review: Sistrum Mini-Minitor Platform Support-SMM 1 Stand Warrenh,I have been to their website and can find no platform with the designation of 'SMM 1' that you mention in the title. Can't find 2 platforms that add up to $1295. Is this a product that is not on the website?I have the 5 shelf rack with bra... | |
| Potential problem with sale. You are under no obligation to take it back but I personally would. For some reason I hold A'gon members to a higher standard. I sold a cdp that I only ran unbalanced and the man wanted to run it xlr. Turned out his preamp could not handle the xlr... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Ice water...shaken, not stirred. Beats the hell out of the old days when it was Tussionex, Xanax, and rum. | |
| 25 customs/tax fee to ship audio to Canada ?? Wow, I had no idea Canadian rates were so high. I appreciate the heads-up. I got a pre amp from Australia with a declared value of $2500 and my bill was around $75.Regards,Patrick | |
| Preamps with variable gain... pros and cons? I have a tubed Supratek Syrah pre and also prefer it at max gain. It has 5 different gain settings so you can try different settings to work with your amp. I have a few cd's that seem to have been recorded on the lean or bright side and lowering t... | |
| Benefits of Bi-Amping high-powered amps? I am guessing that the improvement would be marginal and have a bad price/performance ratio. I probably would get more bang for my buck buying a Hydra or an Audio Magic Stealth and some Aurios.Of course, the best place to spend the 2-2.5K might be... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Okee Doke Dennis. If you change your mind, the offer is open.Regards,Patrick | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Mikelavigne,Thank you for your kind offer. Never been to Seattle area but I will keep the offer in the back of my mind. Been to Portland a few times. Beautiful.I agree, I tend to doubly enjoy my system when playing it for an audio nut. Problem is ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tubegroover, you won't regret it. If it were double the price I would do it again.Somebody posted in the wanted section (no screen names allowed) that they wanted to buy a Supratek. It was posted from Washington, DC. If that person is reading this... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Betcha,I use the Syrah with a class D Spectron Musician II. While not SS, it is high powered-rated at 600w/channel into my 6-ohm speakers. (500 into 8-ohm) I do like the sound of SS or Class D into a tubed pre, but 1) Since I own this combo, what ... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Mikelavigne,Your listening room pics are otherworldly. Your system is a dream come true. Please adopt me. I do chores and don't eat much.Regards,Patrick | |
| What is your most beautiful component? My Mephisto II is beautiful but my Supratek Syrah is one of the sweetest looking pieces ever. http://www.cantech.net.au/~supra/index.htmlRegards,Patrick | |
| What is the most difficult component to upgrade Doug,I recommend you listen to a Audiomeca Mephisto II. $3500 is close to what a used unit goes for. To me, it sounds closer to the truth than any other cdp I've heard but I haven't heard the AA Capitole which would be over $3500 anyway.Regards,Pa... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Dennis,I have been following this thread for 6 months and in that time I have seen 1 Syrah and 1 Cortese for sale. Neither were discounted from full price and both sold quickly.I know I wouldn't sell mine, even at a tidy profit, and suspect most o... |
