| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Clipsal,I agree with you completely! I recieved my Cortese at the end of October of 2005. I owned a Syrah before that. Upon receiving the Cortese, I could not believe how fantastic it sounded. Since then it has gone from fantastic to absolut... | |
| Sony SCD-1 Player NO DISC DETECT If it is still under the 5 year warranty, Sony will fix at no charge. If not under warranty it will cost about $240 I think. I had the same problem after buy mine from someone on Audiogon. Sony replaces the sled motor and some other things. It has... | |
| Sony SCD-1 or SCD-XA9000ES for stereo My SCD-1 has some (but not all) of the Allan Wright VSE mods. It makes a big difference in the sound of an already great player. The nice thing about Allans mods is that even after the mods are installed, you can compare the sound with mods and st... | |
| Sony SCD-1 or SCD-XA9000ES for stereo I bought a SCD-1 from someone and it developed the same problem. After sending it to Sony for repair, it has never had another problem. This unit sounds wonderful. I have no desire to trade my SCD-1. It does take a little longer to read a disc tha... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tried a little tube rolling in my Cortese today. I have had the pre since November and have only used the stock tubes up to now. I took out the stock rectifier and put in a Phillips Miniwatt metal base GZ34. To my surprise, I saw no improvement in... | |
| Audio Debt? Audio may be fun, but it sure ain't worth going in debt over! | |
| Teres Motor on a VPI HW-19 Turntable Thanks for the response. I don't know Ozzy62, my HW-19 still sounds pretty damn good to me. Just looking for some tweaking of it. I will take my JMW10 over the JMW9 on the newer tables any day. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi JT,Welcome to the Supratek family! Wow, it must be great getting a chance to listen to all of Mick's designs. Enjoying the music is what it's all about for me. No more looking for the latest greatest thing out there. Mick's designs transcend ti... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Raytheprinter,I thought Mick said the KT-88 amps were going to be 100wpc. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Yes, I got the gold knobs on mine. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Allanblissett,Welcome to the wonderful world of Supratek! I own a Cortese with the Sheoak wood and black top. It is absolutely beautiful. The Sheoak looks much better in person than it does in pictures. Mick told me when I ordered mine that ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for coming on the forum and clearing things up once and for all Mick. Hopefully, this will put people at ease. I have known you long enough to know there is no way you would compromise the quality of your products for ANY reason. | |
| Schroeder model 2 or Morch DP6? Thanks for the responses guys. I am now using a VPI mk4 TT with JMW10 arm and a ZYX Yatra cartridge. I would like to someday go to another TT, but not sure when that will happen. | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? I tried the nickel test (assuming a nickel weighs 5 gr.) and my scale weighs it at 4.9gr. The owners manual for my ZYX Yatra has a tracking range of 1.7gr.-2.5gr. with a recommended tracking force of 2gr. If I assume my scales weigh light by .1gr.... | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? Thanks for the responses guys. I went on to the link for savonscales that Nsgarch posted. They have many scales. Which one do you guys suggest? As it turns out, my scale is a "My Weigh" MX 200. Saveon sells my weigh scales, but my MX 200 has since... |
