| Preamp Deal of the Century I am using a Sony SCD-1 with VSEI mods. Sounds great, but still not the equal of my analog setup. I hope to send it in to upgrade the VSEI mods from level 2 to level 5+. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The Cortese is just more resolving. The Cortese sounds better with stock tubes than the Syrah did with NOS tubes. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Before I discovered Supratek, I was using a Audible Illusions 3A preamp. I was a very nice preamp with a good phono section, but not in the same league as my Supratek Syrah, or my Cortese. Glad to see all the new names in the Supratek family. Welc... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Kgturner,If the buzz is coming through both speakers at the same sound level, then I don't see how it would be a problem with the amps. Each amp would have to have the same problem. Not much chance of that. You may be right about your speakers bei... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Kgturner,Thanks very much for the first impressions of the Malbecs. Man I wish I lived closer to you and I would bring the Berning down for a head to head comparison. Many of the improvements that you pointed out are the same as I heard from... | |
| Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12 I love the looks of my VPI Aires 2 extended TT with the JMW 12.5 arm. The table is very sleek looking and the arm, although not much longer than the 10.5 I used to have, looks like it is a mile long! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Mike,If you are using a Oracle TT, why did you order the Chardonnay instead of the Chenin (with the phono stage)? I continue to advise people to get Mick's preamps with the phono stage. His phono stage is amazing and well worth the extra mon... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century To clarify, I do not own the SRA that has been under my Berning. It belongs to a friend of mine. The reason I am getting one for my Cortese first is because the rock maple amp stand that I am using with brass pointed feet, is about 75% as good as ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just spoke with Kevin Tellekamp at SRA. As Larry mentioned, Kevin does not feel it is necessary, nor does he recommend using anything in conjunction with the iso bases.Just ordered mine for my Cortese. Should have them in a couple of weeks. I will... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Rick000,Please do let us know what your impressions are when you receive them. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Anyone out there besides Kgturner that has Malbecs ordered? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Ooslik,Were you able to change your order with Mick?Happy New Years to everyone!Tom | |
| Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, audio group. Sorry, I was thinking of another post that Alex started about any Cincinnati audiophiles. I did not realize another had started up. | |
| Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, audio group. Hello, my name is Tom and I am a friend of Alexc, the guy who started this thread. I live in Loveland, Ohio (a northern suburb of Cincinnati). I hope we are able to get together for some listening sometime. I am not good with logistics of getting ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Mark (stiltskin),My system also sets on 2 Canadian Rock Maple stands! And I have been using a 4" thick Mapleshade platform with tennis balls under it for may amp (which sets on the floor), but I recently pulled out the Rock Maple amp stand that... |
