| Preamp Deal of the Century If there is anyone out there in the USA that has bought a Cortese recently, can you tell me how much the shipping and customs fees were?Thanks,Tom | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I too have been doing a lot of praying for the many people affected by Hurricane Katrina. I just got word that Mick is finally started working on my Cortese!!! | |
| Supratek preamps--more laid back or forward ? I agree with Mike, I own a Syrah. I have been in this hobby for close to 30 years now and the Supratek preamp is the best I have ever heard. The sound is very musical without calling attention to itself. Dynamic contrast is incredible. Soundstage,... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Simon74,I asked Mick if he was putting the Mundorfs in the new Cortese. He said he has not figured a way of putting them in because they are so large and the Cortese is pretty packed inside (not much empty space). | |
| Good cartridge for unipivot arm? I put a ZYX cartridge on my VPI JMW arm and I love the sound I am getting. I had the Dynavector 20xl, but my ZYX Yatra is much much better in every way. I got mine from Mehran at Sorasound. He was a real pleasure to work with. | |
| Sony SCD-1 Filters The standard setting is a sharp rolloff filter. The other 4 filters are not. I prefer the filters 1 through 4. I find that the different filters suit different types of music. To my ears the number 1 filter is the most like the standard filter wit... | |
| Pre-amp upgrade: need help, Please - Bent Supratek The Supratek is a great preamp. It reproduces bass in my system with great power and control. Tone and harmonics are very good, however I doubt if you will find one for $1100 to $1200. There are not many of these preamps out there because they are... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler,Are you sure you have round plates and not just tung sol 6sn7's? My tung sol round plates sound fantastic from top to bottom. Smooth in the top end, great midrange and solid, deep bass. Mine sounded this way from the day I got them. BWhite... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Larryrosen,I ordered my Cortese in late October of last year. I have 2 preamps in front of me, them Mick does mine. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Sandro,What are your first impressions of your new Cortese? have not heard from you. Guess you are too busy listening to post. Mick said he has 2 preamps to do and then he will build mine. Yahoo! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler,Please let us know how the EH6sn7's stack up against the Tung Sol when you get them. I will be very interested. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mick asked me to pass on a message to everyone. I was talking with him about the EH6sn7's which he is putting in all the new 6sn7 based preamps. Long story short, he says he is building and voicing the preamps to the tubes that he is putting in th... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler,The last time I spoke with Mick he highly recommended the EH6sn7's. He said the has hundreds of pairs of NOS tubes, and he like the EH6sn7's better. I was going to order a pair. Guess I better do it. | |
| Best tube pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ? Supratek! I feel these preamps are the best value out there. They sound fantastic and look beautiful. Each preamp is hand built by Mick Maloney in Western Australia. He builds models that range from about $2500 to around $8000, both with and witho... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Simon74,The Bendix 6106 in indirectly heated. |
