Preamp Deal of the Century
You are more than welcome Tim I am glad so many people have discovered and enjoyed the Supratek products. I spoke to a friend that is willing to put the V-Caps in my Cortese (he builds tube equipment). He seems to think that most Teflon caps have ... 
is RMAF worth a trip
I am looking forward to attending the show this year. This will be my first time, and I was wondering if anyone can give me pointers. My wife and I plan on arriving in Denver on Wednesday to take in the sights and I will attend the show on Friday ...

Thanks for the news Tim. I guess I am going to have to put the V-Caps in my Cortese. I am not big on modifications, but everyone seems to love these V-Caps. 
Has Anyone Heard the AMR CD-77 CD Player?
Thanks 
Have You Heard the Northstar CD Combo?
After putting the second set of Rollerblock Jr's between the transport and dac, I find that I definitely like the sound better with just one set under the dac. The second set seems to cause a loss of dynamics.What power cords do you guys like best... 
Have You Heard the Northstar CD Combo?
My rack is custom made, but is similar to the Mapleshade racks with maple shelves. The uprights are threaded to allow for infinite adjustment of the shelves. The rack is spiked to the floor with carpet piercing spikes. the floor is concrete slab w... 
Have You Heard the Northstar CD Combo?

Hi Guy's,I have to say, I am a little disappointed that there has not been much talk or raves about the Malbec's or the Montuse. I guess Mick's amps are not catching on. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
This has been discussed on the thread many times, but I will say again. Whichever model of Supratek preamp you choose to buy GET THE PHONO STAGE! It does not add that much to the cost and the resale will be higher than any of the line stage preamp... 
Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable
Redpoint and Galibier can cost mucho bucks, but both company's make killer turntables. Galibier is coming out with a new entry level TT called the Serac that sounds very promising at a very good price, but it is not ready yet.

I agree that the Tung Sol round plates are the best sounding line stage tubes in my Cortese, but when you factor in the cost these things are going for these days, I will stay with the EH 6sn7's (a true audio bargain). As Ecclectique says, you may...

Hello Fiddler,Any update on how the V-Caps are sounding?

Heard for Mick about the DAC. He said he will not be putting one into production because of so much competition and he can't get the chip he likes anymore.Bummer!
