| Preamp Deal of the Century Stiltskin,The SRA iso bases are not cheap. $600 for each base for the Cortese. The improvement in sound that I heard was greater than any NOS tubes I have used and I don't have to worry about the iso bases becoming microphonic or going bad. Betwee... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Has anyone used the SRA (Silent Running Audio) VR series 3 isolation bases under your Supratek preamp? I spoke to Kevin at SRA and he has made some for Supratek owners. I am using one under the main unit of my Cortese and the sound is nothing shor... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for your support of my recommendation to go with the Chenin Larry. I recommend getting the built in phono stage with any of the Supratek preamps even if you are not playing LP's. The reasons are, as Larry said, better resale, the additional... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ooslik,I would have ordered a Chenin if I were you. The phono stage in Mick's preamp will be much better than the Phonomena you are using. I keep telling people that order Supratek preamps that they should order the pre WITH the phono stage. This ... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Kgturner,Has your Christmas present from Australia arrived yet, or is it in customs "hell". | |
| Question about VPI Warranties I have to agree with Narrod. I have owned VPI products for years and have spoken with Harry Weisfeld many times. He has aways been very helpful and he would even go out of his way to help me. I highly recommend VPI for their products and their ser... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Congrats Kgturner! I am as excited as I am sure you are. That is great news. WOW, what a Christmas present. Be sure to keep the rest of us posted.tom | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have never found Supratek preamps to sound "forward" or "in your face". This is what I love about Mick's preamps, they are very good at conveying the music without adding to it. If the recording is bad, you will know it. If the recording is grea... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Richmon,I am not much into tube rolling anymore, but I seem to remember owners saying the RCA gray glass 6sn7 had a sweet midrange. As for the phono stage, IT IS WORLD CLASS! This is what Mick's preamps are known for. Get the best analog set... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Baranyi,I asked Mick the same thing. He says the new amps are better. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Have a great time at Disney World Kgturner. Hopefully your new TOY will be on it's way to you soon. I waited 11 months for my Cortese! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Zarco,I am really happy that so many people have enjoyed their Supratek products. I wish someone would get their Malbecs so I could hear some impressions of them. Zarco, that is amazing that you got got preamp in such a short time! Enjoy! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Maril555,I have my Cortese setting on a rack that is similar to the Mapleshade racks (Rock Maple shelves). The preamp is supported by Mapleshade brass cones. I think the best isolation would be Silent Running Audio isolation bases. These are custo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Ray,I would love to hear your Malbecs also! I forgot where you live, is it Florida? I hope you get them soon. I can't wait to hear your impressions of them. |
