Preamp Deal of the Century

Ecclectique, I am not familiar with the Cardas caps, but the Chris VH - V Caps that I mentioned have gotten rave reviews. Those are the Teflons I was referring to in my post.

At Mick's direction, I did replace two caps in my Chardonnay with Auricaps and I noticed a modest improvement.

When I try the V-Caps, I will post my impressions.

I was wondering if anyone has tried the cryo'd SED tubes from tube depot. Specifically the 6l6gc in the regulator position. For some strange reason I just found that site tonight.

Larry,

And any others who have the 6c45pi phono tube. He has Sovtek 6c45pi's. 19.95 each.

Excellent news guys. Looks like Audiogon has made pages available on threads now! Now very long ones like this can actually be read by people on slow connections/machines. And we'll all see a noticeable performance improvement too! Kudos!

Well, I just recieved 2 more pair of Phillips miniwatt GZ34's. One pair is the metal base labeled Adzam (looks and sounds just like my other Phillips miniwatt(which is labeled Phillips Miniwatt). The other pair is the Phillips miniwatt GZ34 with black base (smooth plates, double getter). This should set me up for reciters for life. I only got to listen to the new tubes long enough to make sure they worked (they are a Christmas gift), but the black base tube sounds very good for less money than the metal base.

I can't belive this thread has gotten so big that Audiogon has had to seperate it into pages. WOW! Anyone out there expecting their preamps before Christmas? Mick told me that he has the new DAC on the back burner until after the first of the year, as he is trying to get as many preamps done before Christmas a he can.

Has anyone ordered a DAC from Mick? When's the first shipment due?
