Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp

Ait,
I have the same exact preamp in the same color. It is a joy to listen to and a joy to look at. You will be very happy! Bob

Bartkofan,you are right of course.

People bypassing huge retail and promotional markups and buying things based on consumer feedback and satisfaction levels is totally uncalled for.They are probably mostly terrorist plants trying to sully the pristine integrity of the audio media and retail industry.

Or maybe they are just savvy consumers with an intellect for seeking out value and integrity.

Bartokfan.You bring up a good point.....What is it with these Supratek people! Why hasn't that Supratek thread DIED long ago,5 years old....crazy. Did you read where many of them had to wait up to 8 months for the bloody thing!!!And this is the guys first tube equiptment ever!!!I can't stop laughing while Im writting this. Hi Ait,Yes the Chenin in piano black and chrome are striking,wait till you see and hear it in your system. Cheers

Your first tube equp EVER, and you buy a Supratek. WHY? I don't get it. How much did you pay, tell me that.
Also there is a 5 yr running Supratek topic going on, I suggest you post there.

There is little tube gear that has the loyal and devoted following of Supratek. There must be a good reason. Your comment smacks of intolerance, and ignorance. Five years worth of posts from Supratek owners, and their taste and opinion is beneath yours? Have you heard any Supratek products in your system? If so, what?

We all have valuable experience to offer in these threads, but dogma as it concerns the audio hobby seems misplaced to me. There are simply way too many variables to cynically question the choices of others and chisel "The Way" into tablets of stone.

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...
