| Preamp Deal of the Century Slipknot1,I would have guessed the E180's in the front. The picture of the Cortese on Mick's website looks like the shortest tubes are in the front position which would be the E180's.Tom | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks guys,Mick forgot to send and instruction sheet. Do the 6922's go in the front position and the E180's behind them, or do the E180's go in the front with the 6922's behind the E180's. They are both 9 hole pins. I would have guessed the 6922'... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang,I just recieved my new Cortese yesterday. This thing is beautiful! A true work of art. I got the Sheoak with black top and gold knobs. The black top really shows off the Sheoak wood. It has a beautiful "lace" look to it. The pictures on Mi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Docsavage,Don't get so caught up in tube swapping that you lose track of the music. After the Cortese is broken in, try some of the NOS tubes that the guys have mentioned. Just make sure you enjoy the music above all else. I am playing Lucinda Wil... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler,I agree with you completely on your findings of the EH6sn7's. I bought mine used and I believe they are broken in. I think they sound fantastic. Plenty of body and weight to the music with great dynamics. On CD's I feel they are just as go... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Docsavage,Glad to hear you love the new Cortese. Mick sent me an e-mail telling me that mine is almost done. I can't wait to get it. To be honest, I don't see how it can sound better than my Syrah! Man, do I love that preamp. The sound I am gettin... | |
| Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge Rauliruegas,I used to own a Sumiko Blue point years ago, and a Benz Glider after that. Both of those cartridges benefited from using a demagnatizer. The cartridges seem to lose some of the top end of the music and after demagnatazation the highs s... | |
| Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge Thanks for the info guys, it has been an education for me. | |
| Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge I have the Benz Aesthetix Demagnetizer, but I have never used it on the ZYX Yatra. Sounds like from your comments that I should not. What is the difference between it and the Cardas LP? I have to say that I love the sound of this cartridge. I play... | |
| What constitutes an AUDIOPHILE recording If it costs a lot, then it's an audiophile recording. Just kidding. You can't assume that just because it says "audiophile" that it will sound great. I have found this out the hard way. Even if it was recorded using the original master tape, it do... | |
| Cartridge advice needed, dynavector 20xh now what? I had the Dynavector 20XL low output cartridge on my VPI mk4/JMW TT. I have since replaced it with the ZYX Yatra. The improvement in sound was HUGE! The ZYX has a much more neutral sound to it. The 20XL sounded hard and even a touch bright at high... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Kgturner,This is the first I have heard about the KT-88 amp. When Mick answers your questions, please share the info with the rest of us. I do know that Mick was talking about building a more affordable amp that could mate with the Chenin. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Wc65mustang,I am sorry. I did not see your post letting me know your shipping cost. Thanks also for the tip about giving Mick my social security number to avoid custom delaysI am really excited about getting the Cortese. It has been a long ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks Larry. |
