Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?

 Hey,  audio123, 
Please refresh my memory about what amp and speakers you are driving? Also, your digital side.  I know you went with the Tubador DAC. Did you consider the MHDT Orchid?

Greetings I got a GREAT Deal on a pair of the New Rogue audio 180 monoblocks(with the dark revision ,,,up graded caps..50%more power supply....naked vishay resitors...silver wire used thru out .Cardas.rodhium 5 way posts to nam a few of the upgrades)...Supratek Chardony pre(gen 3)...Martin Logan Montis electrostatic speakers(Luv Them!) running with the latest pair of Vandersteen subs,,,transport is the cambridge CXC(weakest Link) Acoustic Miror dac(maxed out) all with top of th Line Acoustic Zen cable...and i am not changing anything(besides the transport)...system is one of the best i heard( i know im Biased but these componets just melt together and the sum is larger than any one part...yep yep...its that good!!!!!!....as far as the MHDT Orchhid i found it to be a very capable dac for the price(Very nice tone ect ect)...But you could not pry my AMT3 dac away frome me...its in a class well above the orchid....other members felt the same way(But thats not taking anything away from the orchid....very good dac for the money)...so there you have it..this system can be listened for hours with no fatigue and a BIG smile on your face...TRUTH!!

Sounds awesome.I will mention the biggest change in my system recently - a Yeti 1400 lithium-ion battery generator. It generates a perfect 60 hz sine wave and lowers the noise floor (I never knew I had a noise floor before). It has taken my system to the next level. I hope you can track one down just to try it. I have my preamp, power amp and Quad 2805s plugged into it.
Thanks for continuing to keep the Flame Alive and sharing all the info on your system config.

hey Markus...i just saw one on Amazon - Yeti 1400 lithium iron battery generator for $2500...ad then you need $400 solar panel to recharge it?

@audio123 Really looking forward to hearing the conclusion of the preamp comparison...  please do post the update.
