It would seem that the Supratek owners have gone into hibernation. I previously owned the Syrah pre and loved it, especially the phono stage. I sold it when I had to downsize. Well I just placed a deposit on Micks Pinot stand alone phono stage and sold my Sutherland 20/20 phono stage. I am excited to get back to a Supratek tube phono stage. I am looking forward to tube rolling again, I only wish I hadn't sold off all of my W.E. 350B's. Those tubes are pure magic in my opinion in a Supratek, as well as the Tung-Sol 6SN7 GT. The Psvane, Shuguane, etc. are very good tubes but are not on par with the great NOS tubes. But there is absolutely no reason you cant be very happy with the stock tube set.
Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody
I will have a Supratek Chenin in my set up in a day or so. Since so many folks are rolling tubes around here I was hoping to garner a comprehensive list of everybodies favorite tube compliments. Be it NOS or NIB or WLATB (Whatever's layin around the basement)
Being that the "Deal of the Century" thread is a little more like a novel I figured this would be a good place to post questions and answers related to one subject of Supratek amps and pres.
On to the subject of me. I don't have immediate plans to swap tubes as I've figured that Mr. Maloney would supply us with something listenable for the break in period. But, since so many have reported such dramatic improvments I want to ask this question:
What is your favorite compliment for quietest gain and dynamics in the phono stage?
I will be using the Chenin exclusively for vinyl ( I don't have a CD player) and listen to loads of early rock and roll and Jazz bands, smaller jazz bands mostly, quartets and quintets. Some classical, the usual Beethoven and Mozart, but usually just a lot of loud garage rock.
Ok, now lets see what happens.
