| Audiokinesis Speakers Hi Tim,I heard Duke's speakers at the 2007 RMAF in Denver. I was very impressed with both model's. It was some of the best sound I heard at the show. If I was not so happy with my Gallo Reference 2 speakers, I would be jumping on a pair of the Jaz... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Guys,I just want to wish all of you in the "Supratek Club" a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I continue to be amazed at the life this thread has. I am proud to call each and every one of you my friends. And thanks also to the veteran... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Pablovila,Glad to hear you are enjoying the Malbecs! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Kgturner,Have you tried putting a "cheater" plug on your Malbec amps to get rid of the hum? I have a friend that has a Grange preamp and he could not get rid of a loud hum it had developed. He was ready to send it to Kevin Kovac, and he just happe... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Gallo 3.0 or 3.1 are very small in stature, but throw a huge sound stage. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler,Would you say that the Mundorf's have a warmer sound and the V-Caps have a more detailed sound? | |
| Which sub $2k CD player would you recommend? The Sony scd-1 I had sounded very good with the vsei mods it had, but was way too much of a pain in the butt for me to keep. It had read error problems soon after I bought it (used). It was repaired and within 3 years the same problems occured. If... | |
| Which sub $2k CD player would you recommend? I know this is an older player, but I love the sound of the Meridian 508.24. | |
| Have You Heard the Northstar CD Combo? Thanks Gammajo,I am very happy with this setup. After returning from the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in October, I fired up my system and I was completely happy with the sound. I had no desire to make any changes (even after hearing so much great eq... | |
| Have You Heard the Northstar CD Combo? Gammajo,I am using a Supratek Cortese tube preamp and a Berning ZH270 tube power amp with my Northstar/Extremo DAC combo. This is the best cd sound I have ever achieved in my system. Beats the Sony scd-1 player I had (and it had the VSEI mods). I ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Audiophile 1958,Is the Dodd preamp a linestage only pre? | |
| Abbingdon Music Research CD-77 impressions? Waldo51,If you want to junk that SME30/2,V,Jan Allarerts, I will be glad to take it off your hands! The AMR CD-77 is very good, but I would find it very hard to believe that it would sound better than your analog setup. | |
| Abbingdon Music Research CD-77 impressions? The CD-77 is a redbook player only, but when I heard it with the EMM Labs, we played an sacd on the EMM Labs and the redbook layer of the same cd on the CD-77. The CD-77 still sounded better! | |
| Hugh Masekela Listeners Out There ? I bought his LP on Bernie Grundman's Straight Ahead Records label at the RMAF this year and it blew me away. Music is great, recording quality is second to none. There are many versions of "Coal Train". I beleive the best is the live version on th... | |
| Abbingdon Music Research CD-77 impressions? Best cd player I have ever heard. I heard it head to head against a EMM Labs trasport and DAC, and the CD-77 was better in every respect. |
