| Preamp Deal of the Century I agree with Grannyring about his comments on the Parasound JC-1's. I have a friend who is running the JC-1's with a Joule Electra pre and Soundlab M1 speakers. The sound is fabulous. You would think you were listening to a pair of very powerful t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Brian, what 6L6's do you recommend? I just purchased a pair of Neotron 6sn7's for my line stage. I was told by someone that has a Syrah that they sound great in his. I will let you guys know what I think of them. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century OK Supratek Syrah owners, what is your favorite tube compliment in your preamp? I am using Ken-Rad Black Glass 6SN7' Tung-Sol 5881's, Mullard 6GK5's, and Bendex Redbank 6106 as the rectifier tube. I am still using the stock tubes in the front of t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi guys, this is the first time I have checked on this thread in a while. Whow! sounds like some controversy. When I started this thread, it was to let everyone know what a great product Mick had. I am sorry to see this controversy come up, but le... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well guys, I can't believe it, 500 posts on this thread! When I posted this thread last year I had no idea it would become what I believe is the longest in Audiogon history. I am so glad that I have been able to help spread the word about Mick, hi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I agree Steve. You can go overboard on spending money on tubes, which is why I wait for a good deal to show up. With the Ken-Rad, Tung-Sol, and Sylvania tubes, I feel I have a good choice of sound in the line stage. I have a Bendex 6106 coming to ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Steve,Thanks so much for posting your thoughts on Supratek. I agree with you completely! Mick is a first rate guy. He was great to deal with and he does take care of his customers. He always answers e-mail quickly and in terms you can understan... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well guys, I have had the Mullard 6GK5's in my phono stage of the Syrah for a few days now and the results are more life and dynamics, along with a deeper soundstage. When a crash cymbal is hit it still has the power it had before, but now it is f... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century What tubes are you guys using in the phono section of your Supratek preamps? I am still using the stock tubes, but I am in the process of getting Mullard 6GK5's. I know the Western Electric 417 is supposed to be good, but they are very expensive, ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tubegroover, let me know how the Amperex Bugle Boys sound compared to the Brimers and Tung Sols. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tubegroover, I actually have the cryoed output NOS tubes and Brimmer 12at7's. They came with the amp when I bought it. I have been so blown away by the sound of the amp with the stock tubes that I am holding off on installing the NOS until later. ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well guys, I have paired my Syrah with a Berning ZH270 amp and I have to tell you that this is a match made in heaven. I have had the Berning for about a month now and I absolutely hate to turn my system off! The Berning gives you the option of ru... | |
| I need a recording with a good drum solo . Emmylou Harris-Spyboy. Brady Blade performs a KILLER drum solo on the last cut (The Maker). This is a live performance. | |
| Mark Knopfler's Ragpickers Dream-heard it? Thanks Ed, I agree that the first time I listened to the LP I did not rave about the content, but after hearing it a second time, I started realizing that this is a great album. I feel the LP has stunning sound quality. My favorite cuts are "You D... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" My niece's husband just bought a Jazz trio CD for me called Meanwhile by John Fremgen. It is a great performance and the recording quality is first rate also. Fremgen plays upright bass, with Peter Erskine on Drums and Mitch Watkins on guitar. Thi... |
