Preamp Deal of the Century
Oh,BTW. Srajan over at 6 Moons just awarded the Cabernet Dual one of his "Best of 2006" awards. He remarks that it's;"The best he's heard yet". Way to go Mick(and helpers),well done!!!!!!!!!!Just wish I could afford one. Oh well,someday....... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Baranyi- Put me down as another that asked Mick the same thing. He said the Burgandies absolutely won't handle Apogee's,but the new amps will. He seemed more impressed with the construction of the new amps(of course). Probably the Mondeuse to be s... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Maril555- My rack is an older MDF one,so not a great base obviously. I've gone through Mapleshade Brass Cones,Isofeet,Boston Audio Tuneblocks(original ones) and have always come back to a set of three Gingko Mini-Clouds.The Boston Audio products w... 
Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V
Thought I'd ask as well,anyone with battery powered results to share? Anyone,anyone,Bueller? :^) 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
Simon74,I'm a Syrah owner as well. A Bear Labs amp will definitely handle subtlety. Relatively few around,very hard to audition unless you happen to know an owner. Might be a problem shipping also, 28" long,135 lbs. ;^)Kirby

Preamp Deal of the Century
Cello(Larry)-When you say the newer models are better,which model did you mean? I have an older Syrah,from reading this thread I took the recent improvements to be centered mainly in the phono section of the Cortese or did I miss something? I unde... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Thanks all,sounds like it should be very interesting to see and hear when it's ready. Kirby 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi,has anyone heard anything new about the DAC? I'd rather not bother Mick,just curious.Kirby 
What's after Supratek
Guidocorona-I believe there's a fair amount of discussion about comparisons to a number of preamps including the First Sounds in the " deal of the century" thread. It's very long,but sprinkled with info you're looking for throughout. Good reading ... 
What's after Supratek
TbgDon't start wth me. It's a shame this thread has been hijacked away from it's original theme in an apparent attempt to start yet again another H-Cat versus Supratek skirmish. Tbg,something you might want to remember is that unlike yourself,and,... 
What's after Supratek
Dennis_the_menace-Thanks for posting your findings,much appreciated. Keep them coming.Kirby 
What's after Supratek
JoperfiI think some of the problems arise because of perceived personal attacks that come up in these threads. Instead of many people discussing and listing their preferences and opinions,one person inevitably attacks the character of someone else...
