Preamp Deal of the Century

Hello all,
This is my first post to this thread. Looking for a tube preamp that has a home theater pass through, I happened upon the Supratek and now my appetite has been wet. I read on Mick's website that the Chenin has a pass through for home theater, but couldn't determine if the Cortese has one as well. My important question for anyone who can help me is how well either of these preamps will match with my beloved Pass Aleph's. (2 Aleph 5s driving the top end and a pair of Aleph 2s driving the bottom end of a tri-amped configuration (Speakers are the Waveform Mach 17). These are single ended solid state class a amps of late 1990 vintage. Has anyone had experience using the supratek preamp with the Pass Aleph's
Thanks,
Michael

Slowhand, the tubes have quiet down a lot since the first night. The noise was probably also in part due to the regulator tube not being seated properly. The norm setting with volume all the way up now seems to work for me too, thanks.
The soundstage has opened up quite a bit, and lifeless recordings now have a natural presence. I'll report back after 300 hours or so. Hard to imagine it will get better, and I'm still in the first 30 hours/stock tubes.
Also, a thanks to Jazzdude for taking the time to answer my questions when I was going through the purchasing decision. Boy, am I glad I did.

Can't say I have heard the Supratek with the Pass labs gear, but I would think it would sound great together. As for the theater pass through on the Cortese, Mick hand builds all preamps to your needs.

No Worries. Your Cabernet will get much, much better in the next 2-300 hours and then the NOS tubes will take it to yet another level.

Prepare you drool bucket now while there is still time.

I have the Cabernet for about five months now and yesterday I finally unplugged the 6f6g's and put in the 350B's. (I have been resisting the temptation until yesterday - after a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon^_^). The 350B's brought the sonic performance to another level, or I should say several levels up. Now I am wondering what would happen when the tubes arrive that magical 300-hour mark?

Cheers,
Kenji
