| Best vintage Marantz receivers? I have a pair of 1977 Klipsch Cornwall speakers with the Bob Crites cornscalla midrange horns. Prior to adding the corscalla midrange horns, I drove the Cornwalls with a Cary preamp and a pair of Cary SET 8 WPC amplifiers. This had a very nice sou... | |

| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp I have the Supratek Sauvignon preamp. I currently am using a Mullard GZ34 as the rectifer tube. Does anyone know if I can substitute a 5Y3GT for the GZ34. Also, is the 5Y3GT the same tube as the 6106? I like the sound of this preamp with RCA 6L6GC... | |
