| Preamp Deal of the Century It was in an e-mail with Mick in Dec. 2004 that he said he was working on a DAC. He was getting so many orders for preamps that he said he would have to put it on the back burner. I hope he makes it a reality. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Am I crazy or did I read somewhere that Mick is working on a DAC for cd players? | |
| Need Help with a Sony scd-1 Bill Thalmann at Music Technology did the upgrade and it sounds great! Before the upgrade it started playing music as soon as the track number displayed, but for some reason now it just sits there for 5 to 8 seconds before music starts. Bill said ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Did anyone else ever get their Malbecs or Monduse amps? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Opus88,Glad to hear that things are back on track for you. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I agree Stevem1960,I think messing with the umbilical cord is just asking for trouble. If these preamps are as good as we all think they are, why do we feel we have to find ways to improve them. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Pablovila,Looks like you have a very nice system there. I will be very interested in hearing your impressions of the Malbecs. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Stiltskin,I have heard that the Roller Blocks are very good. I have a friend that has some. I will see if I can borrow them. I plan on getting a SRA iso base for both the Sony scd-1 and for my VPI Aries 2 extended. The SRA has done more for ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Oh, I forgot. My Sony SCD-1 is on it's way back to me from having the latest VSEI upgrades done to it. Oh No! I hope I have not lost my magic!I totally agree with you Steve M. You can buy a lot of great music for what NOS tubes cost. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stevem1960,I can relate to what you are saying about "leaving well enough alone". This is the exact reason why I refuse to tube roll with my Cortese. I love the sound I get with the stock tubes. This is the way Mick set the preamp to sound and it ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century When you take into account the hundreds of positive comments from this thread and the many happy customers that Mick has had over the past few years, I don't think that Mick has to worry about his business going down the drain, or even being affec... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have never experienced any glare from my system when using the Syrah that I previously owned or from the Cortese that I now own. I am using a Berning ZH270 amp which is very revealing of any problems in the system. Everything sounds fantastic to... | |
| SRA VR vs. Ohio Speeddeacon,If I were you I would not settle for anything less than the VR series of SRA. Just get the ones for your amp first. As finances allow, get one for your preamp and later on for your source equipment. Just my opinion. | |
| SRA VR vs. Ohio I forgot to mention that the SRA bases are custom made for each piece of equipment. It is not a good idea to buy a used one that is not meant for your particular piece of gear. Kevin has a huge data base of equipment. he takes into account the siz... | |
| SRA VR vs. Ohio Hello Speeddeacon,Yes, I am using the Supratek Cortese preamp. The VR bases made a huge improvement in an already wonderful sounding preamp. The music has more impact and the space between instruments is more defined. Bass has a more solid feel an... |
