Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp


Ordered it in Piano Black with chrome, remote control and HT bypass options. Now comes the hard part - waiting for it to be built and shipped! Hope the time passes quickly...

Thanks. I have no plans to roll the tubes for quite a while. This is my first piece of tube equipment ever - unless you count my parents' old console stereo from the '60s. I think I'll enjoy the tube sound for a while before I experiment. By the way, just for reference, what manufacturer were the grey glass 6SN7s you liked?
Mick told me the wait time is two months absolute max, so I expect it will probably be a bit less than that. I'm matching it with Zu Druid Speakers, Flying Mole Class D amps (pretty extensively modded and VERY clean sounding, with way more power than I need for the Druids), a Sony CD player and, for now, an old BSR turntable. I have my eyes on a VPI Scoutmaster for my birthday, though, and maybe a music server (Opus, Zero One, Escient) for Christmas.
Thanks to all who have chimed in on my behalf. I wasn't bragging, just excited. I'm just getting back to analog after a 20+ year hiatus, and all the research I've done has pointed me toward Supratek. Sure it's not cheap, but why buy a lesser product if you can afford something better.

Anyway, that's 2 days off the waiting time...
