Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp

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.

Mick told me the wait time is two months absolute max, so I expect it will probably be a bit less than that. I'm matching it with Zu Druid Speakers, Flying Mole Class D amps (pretty extensively modded and VERY clean sounding, with way more power than I need for the Druids), a Sony CD player and, for now, an old BSR turntable. I have my eyes on a VPI Scoutmaster for my birthday, though, and maybe a music server (Opus, Zero One, Escient) for Christmas.

Sounds like an awesome system, I'd sure like to hear what you think after the Supratek gets burned-in! Already thinking of a Scoutmaster for your B-day and a music server for X-mas? Boy, you are an audiophile!
