| Preamp Deal of the Century Any group of posters devoted to one product, be it Supratek, or something else entirely, is a scewed sample.I imagine that only those with a positive experience will bother to post here.If I didn't like a certain component, I would never post in r... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I should put all my futher comments on hold, until I get my new Cortese and Mondeuse amps from Mick. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Zachzdb,Why are you putting yourself in a position to be a Supratek defender?. Neither one of us "slammed" Supratek. I clearly stated, that I love many things it does better, that many other preamps. I don't think Mick's business is going to suffe... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thank you Joe,A voice of wisdom at last. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Zachzdb,I don't even want to make it a personal issue with you and your unbalanced post, I don't really care.But I really think this discussion is helpful to all of us Supratek owners.I think I could have not responded better, than Opus88 did.The ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century One other thought: Since every Supratek unit is individually made with point-to-point wiring, it is possible, at least in theory, to introduce some variability into the final product. Maybe Opus88 and myself just an unlucky few to own Supratek wit... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Opus88,I think you're right saying, that some Supratek owners do not hear that glare, or their system's specifics would make it less noticeable (like for instance pairing Supratek with "old school" CJ power amp).I do believe many people are just n... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stiltskin,You've done a lot of tube rolling with your Chenin,but I would ask you the original question again- regarding midrange glare, that Opus alluded to in his post, and I also mentioned couple of posts back ( I don't think he and myself are s... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Opus88,I think I've experienced similar midrange problem with my Chenin as well. My experience with tube rolling is very limited, but I feel NOS RCA Grey Glass helped in this regard.I feel that most of the Supratek owners are kind of hush regardin... | |
| Sub Woofer hook up with McIntosh MC 501 I ran my Velodyne DD-15 from BAT-75SE power amp's speakers terminals, and the main speakers from the SAME amp terminals, using spades for one, and bananas for the other.I don't think, you shoud use 4 ohms term. for the main speakers and 2 ohms for... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Mike,I'm glad you didn't sell 9se's because you didn't like them.As to my frequency imbalance problem- trying different pre- power combinations in my system (BAT-75SE/Supratek Chenin/Arcam solid state preamp/EAR 534), I traced the problem back to ... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Mikelavigne, Did you sell VR-9SE? If you did, it would've surprised me.I agree completely with your statement about how "the overall balance affecting midrange quality".I have found that in my system a slight peak at about 4000kHz combined with a ... | |
| CES / THE Show Albertporter,Yes, Ventures ($50000) were in the room with Continuum turntable and Wavac preamp, and Montana speakers were Grand Reference with 15" woofers ($88000)Is that a coincidence that I find myself liking components I won't be ever able to a... | |
| CES / THE Show I agree with MBL impression- it's not cozy and doesn't make want to sit and listen. Sound was pretty shrill.On the other hand I couldn't get myself out of PBN Montana Grand Reference speakers suite at THE Show- such a huge speakers and they provid... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century That's great. I'm all attention. Thank you. |
