| Preamp Deal of the Century Waltersalas,I like your idea about sharing with other Supratek owners what the rest of our systems consist of. It would be a good idea to start a Supratek club (if we could stop listening to our preamps long enough). Here is my system:Supratek Syr... | |
| Review: Music Hall mmf cd-25 CD Player You probably already know this, but the MMF-CD25 is made by Shanling, the same company that makes that beautiful CD-T100 tubed player. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi guys,I have had my Syrah for 4 months now and it is amazing! I no longer think so much about how the various pieces of equipment sounds. I just enjoy the music. This is the most "musical" piece of equipment that I have ever bought. I am still u... | |
| Review: Shanling CD-T100 CD Player What CD player did you have in your system before the Shanling? You mentioned in the review that you had heard other high end CD players that sounded no better than the Shanling, can you tell us what they were? | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please Any Supratek Equipment, it's all stunning with the added benefit that it sounds fantastic! | |
| Best P-Mount cartridge -- No Grado please I have an Azden GMP5L P-Mount MC Cartridge. I have not used it for a long time as my tonearm does not accept P-Mount cartridges. I always loved the sound of it though. P-Mounts are kind of hard to come by these days. | |

| Cowboy Junkies Trinity Session Gold CD......Where If you are into LP's also, the 4 LP 45 RPM Trinity Sessions on Classic LP is still avaliable. I recently got mine at Acoustic Sounds for $43 and the sound is Fantastic. The single Classic LP is now out of print and Acoustic Sounds is selling it fo... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bluebottle, this is slowhand. I have a Supratek Syrah. To answer your questions, the shipping cost me $130 to ship via Fed Ex which as I understand it is the only way Mick will ship. That price is very resonable for shipping a 48lb. piece of equip... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hang in there guys, I ordered my Syrah before everyone started ordering them and it took 12 weeks to get mine. My point is that although I know you guys are going nuts with all this waiting I am sure Mick is doing his best with all the orders he i... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I got my Syrah with the Jarrah Wood base and the polished chrome top. I could find NO bad spots or imperfections on the unit anywhere. My unit has worked beautifully from the time I opened it up and after 2 months, it only gets better! I agree wit... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Since the unit is custom made you should be able to specify what you want as far as line inputs. Mine has CD, Aux, FM, Tape Out and Tape In, with 2 RCA outputs and 1 XLR (special request). | |
| Has anyone heard of ZYX cartridge from Japan? Thanks for the info guys. |
