Preamp Deal of the Century
It's a year wait for 2 reasons. First he is way behind on the preamp orders. Big surprise there huh? Second, it will be a custom one of a kind pair. Special transformers and more. He wasn't going to build them at all until we agreed on a year and ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Larry, Congrats. You're in for a real treat. I'm sure you'll find the wait worthwhile. FWIW, I've ordered a pair of custom Merlots; the tentative completion date is 12/2006 so don't feel too bad. 
Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody
Ecclectique, Well it will be a busy weekend. I purchased a pair of Sophia 45 Mesh Plate last week and a friend of mine is letting me borrow the EL 45 which he intends to sell. So I have a new pair of Sophias that have never been fired up for sale.... 
Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody
Larry, Mick told me that the Tung Sols are an improvement but not worth the expense. I have no idea what you paid but from my recollection they are a fairly expensive tube and I would have needed 4 of them. More importantly however, the 5881 is a ...

Check with Brendan at Tube World 920-208-0353. Few tube vendors have a better inventory and know more than he does. I bought 4 NOS Westinghouse 6F6GT (replacing Grange stock 5881) regulators from him and they are superb.

It's very difficult to take Raul seriously regarding his stance on Zyx cartridges. He has had little or minimal listening time yet continues to trash both the product and its' owners. His position would be far more credible if more (or even SOME f...

Anybody surprised at Raul's comment about Speedy? You do have to give him high marks for consistency though. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Yeah I forgot a couple things. I use an Audience adeptResponse conditioner. I've tried dozens of cords (literally) and I've sold off all of the super premium high price power cords and now use Zu Mother on everything. They may not be the absolute ...

The Grange digs much deeper into the music than the Rhea. In addition to Mundorf caps, I've rolled all of the tubes in the preamp and its' power supply. It is the finest piece of audio gear I've owned and/or heard in 40+ years. Other components, N...

Do you own a Supratek TVAD? I didn't think so. Unless you have something more meaningful and pertinent to the Supratek discussion your comments are devoid of substance and merit. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
If you want one and can afford it, they you wait. Potential customers know this when they enter into an agreement with Mick and we don't need your commentary because nobody cares what you think. Quite frankly, I would have waited twice the time I ... 
Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference.
ALL records are not 100% clean after one washing. Some records sound better after more than one washing. It is completely unrealistic to believe that EVERY record is cleaned to its' full potential after one washing. I have some records, 30-40 year...
