Supratek Preamp. and 6SN7's impressions
I have a Sauvignon with upgraded V-caps. I agree with you the GZ34 double D getter was the best IMS.The 6sn7 tubes are a different story. I like the NOS tubes better. The best all around tube in my set-up is the 52 Sylvania (Bad Boys)it has a very... 
Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo?
I have a Supratek Sauvignon using balanced IC's into a Spectron M3 SE and the combination is wonderful. Your words are exactly what I'm hearing, also I'll add quiet,extended,smooth,transparent,dynamic,and finesse. 
The best acoustic guitar recordings??
3 guitars on Chesky Records SACD and CD both sound excellent. 
Marantz SA-7S1 filters and noise shaper
Forgot to say only inverts phase if using balanced cables. 
Marantz SA-7S1 filters and noise shaper
For SACD use Filter 1. Red book I use either Filter 2 or 3 depending on the CD. I don't use noise shaper. If it is a new player it will sound it's best after a few hundred hours. Enjoy ,it is an excellent player. 
Which preamp Dodd or Cary slp-98L
Hey Mrjstark, I'm in Staten Island and have an Supratek Sauvignon and wouldn't mind hearing your Dodd IMS. Not really into the blind listening thing, but having a enjoyable listening session between the two pre-amps with good tunes would be nice.... 
looking for new speakers $2 to $3K
For the money the Salk Songtowers are a very good choice. 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
They don't have any markings, but I found them to be directional. Once they are broken in try changing their direction, whichever gives you a taller soundstage is the right way. 
marantz 7as1 suggestion
My marantz sa-7s1 took quite a long time to fully sound its best over 300 hours, be patient it only gets better.The IC's that I am using are Gabreil Golds Rev. with excellent results. Upgrading to GG Rapture's should sound even better.IMS bass is ...

I have my upgraded SE amp for a couple of months now, and can honestly say that in its upgraded status it is excellent!Smooth,dynamic,detailed,transparent with a deep and wide soundstage.It has an ease and grain-free sound even when the music gets... 
PC: Synergistic Tesla, Lessloss, Transparent MM
I have my Lessloss pc a little over a week now and, did get it at the discounted price. First off, it needs more then 3 days for the pc to settle in for an accurate assessment. I placed the Lessloss only on my Marantz SA-7s1, so I don't know how i... 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Salk HT-3's have deep tight bass with good slam and, an all around excellent speaker. 
Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier?
I had mine modified by George Kaye years ago, which made it a much better amp. Much cleaner sounding with better detail and bass, more extended treble, but still nice full midrange. Compared to today's better amps not as transparent, but still a c...
