Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?


I'm preparing to replace my SS preamp with a tube unit and have read with great interest many threads on this board. This is where I learned about Don Sachs model 2 preamps. They sound like what I'm looking for and those who own them consistently express their satisfaction with them.

Now I've just been reading and learning about the Supratek lineup. Wow. These also sound like fantastic works of art. Leaving me with a new question about which way to go. 

Thoughts? Advice? Experience? Anyone care to share?

It is not like the thread can't be redeemed, with a few surgical deletions here and there.
What happened to Supratek?  I remember that for years they were hailed as a great sounding, high value product, but then they disappeared.  What's the story?
@atmasphere Having been a long time member of AudiogoN, I’ve always looked forward to reading your insightful posts. But, not the ones on this thread.

Agree with @steakster have always admired Ralph with his very insightful posts but I think he took this thread too far in the wrong direction.
@rsf507 , @steakster 

Was my comment 'Between the two the Sachs is hands down the winner.'  going too far?? The OP asked and I answered. Did I make some other comment that is considered problematic?? I'd appreciate it if you could point it out.



Ralph, you might want to review all of your posts here besides the first one.
