Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp

Thanks. I have no plans to roll the tubes for quite a while. This is my first piece of tube equipment ever - unless you count my parents' old console stereo from the '60s. I think I'll enjoy the tube sound for a while before I experiment. By the way, just for reference, what manufacturer were the grey glass 6SN7s you liked?

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.

What a pleasant chap you are!

How long did he tell you it would take to receive it? What are the components you're going to match it with? Have fun!

Ait - I am using RCA NOS 6SN7. I am sure there are other good ones as well.

As to those who ask "WHY?" or "How much?", why not a Supratek over any other for your first? The cost can be determined by going to Mick's website.I am sure he has read the thread and read comments of other happy owners. The cost/quality ratio of the Supratek line is pretty hard to beat IMHO. It has one of the finest phono stages of any pre, regardless of price.
