| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me If anyone in the Ohio area would like to hear the Reference 3, go to Hansbarger Appliances in Greenville, Ohio (west of Springfield not far from Indiana border). I know it sounds crazy, but they have a pair on display. Ask for Josh, he is a good g... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Cello,I live in Loveland, Ohio which is a suburb of Cincinnati. Where do you live? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Larry,I am using a Phillips Miniwatt metal base GZ34 in the rectifier position. What brands do you recommend in the EL37 and can you tell me how tall this tube is? I have a height issue on the power supply in my rack. I just recieved a pair of ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang,I spoke to Mick and he personally prefers the 6SN7 setup in the Cortese so I am going to stick with that. I have 2 pr. of Tung Sol round plates and some other 6SN7's that I will use in the Cortese when I get it. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Another question for Cortese owners. Do you prefer the 6sn7 linestage setup or the 6j5 linestage setup? I spoke with Ecclectique and he got his in the 6j5 setup. He feel it sounds great and that the tubes are much less expensive. Any other opinions? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Longho68,Thanks for the info on the remote volume. Does anyone know where I can get a pair of Tung Sol 12B4A tubes? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Has anyone recieved a Cortese from Mick recently? I understand that they come with a remote control volume. I am a little concerned with noise interference. Does anyone know what brand of volume control Mick is using now? Has anyone had this probl... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well guys, looks like I am back in the "waiting pool" with some of the new members of the Supratek club. I have ordered a Cortese from Mick! I do have the advantage of having my Syrah to listen to in the meantime, so the wait won't be near as bad ... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me I just spoke to John at Gallo and the sub amp is not yet avaliable. They expect to get the latest prototype in the next couple of days. It seems that they decided to make a couple of changes at the last minute and this has slightly delayed release... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey guys,What do you use to clean the chrome on your preamps? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ecclectique,How does the GE 6sn7GTA compare to the GTB in sound? I have a guy that is putting together a pair of each for me. Would the GTA's be worth getting, or should I just stick with the GTB's? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Has anyone tried Phillips "miniwatt" 6sn7GTB's in your Supratek? Also have any of you tried Phillips KT66's in the regulator position. I know the Genelex is supposed to be the best KT66, but I was wondering what the phillips might sound like. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi guys, the Philips Mini Watt GZ34 tube that Jpms told us about earlier is the best rectifer that I have tried in my Syrah. I have been using a Bendix Redbank 6106, but compared to the mini watt the 6106 sounds kind of "dark". The philips tube ha... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Jphii,I have been told that the Amperex Gold Pin 5842 sounds good it the phono section, and also the RCA 5842. Some people swear by the WE417a, but others say it is overhyped. Guess you just have to try them for yourself. I will be very interes... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Crapsmash,I love your username, where did you come up with it? Jphii, yes the 417a and 5842's will work in the phono section. Let us know the results of your phono tube rolling. |
