SRA VR vs. Ohio
I have the VR 3 series under my preamp and it's power supply. It is also under my amp. These iso bases have completely transformed my system. Kevin at SRA is great to deal with. I have not heard the Ohio class bases, but they are beautiful. I hope...

Hello Kgturner,Hi Kevin, I hope you were not affected by the tornado's that hit the south last week. I could not remember if you lived in Alabama or Florida. Let us know if you are alright. 
Berning ZH270 vs 845 SET amp
I did no like the sound of the Berning going straight into my Sony SCD-1 near as much as I do with my Supratek Cortese preamp. The Berning and the Supratek make for a perfect pair in my system. Both are very musical with great transparency and res... 
Berning ZH270 vs 845 SET amp
If you like a classic tube sound in your amp, you will not get it from the Berning. To my ears and in my system the ZH270 just sounds right. It is very fast as people have mentioned and it is very dynamic. I feel it is the perfect match for my Sup... 
Berning ZH270 vs 845 SET amp
I agree with Airwise. The only way anyone will get my ZH270 is to pry it out of my cold dead hands!

Dev,I totally agree with Stevem1960. Mick is fantastic about taking care of his customers. No way it would take weeks for Mick to get back to someone with a problem. He is very quick to answer e-mails. This sounds very fishy and malicious to me. C...

Well, I have been living with my new SRA iso bases for a few days now and m impressions are as follows.I liken the sound to a jazz band that has been together for so long that each member knows exactly what the others are about to do next, taking ...

Hello Frank,I have to agree with you on the SRA bases. I trust Kevin and his excellent designs. I too will leave well enough alone with my SRA bases. I have learned to trust Mick with his tube choices in the Supratek preamp also. I am done with tu...

I just received my SRA iso bases for my Cortese and it's power supply. I will post my findings in a few days, but what little listening I have done indicate to me that these are some of the best isolation devices you will ever find!

I used both the 6106 and the metal base GZ34 in my Syrah. I liked them both, but for the difference in price the 6106 is a bargain compared to the metal base GZ34. I put a 6106 in my Cortese to see how it would sound and after a few minutes it sta...

Forward with the rear gain knob 1 notch down from the top. If I switch the toggles next to the 6sn7's to low gain (back) I lose dynamics.
