Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp


Ordered it in Piano Black with chrome, remote control and HT bypass options. Now comes the hard part - waiting for it to be built and shipped! Hope the time passes quickly...

Steelhead-
Thanks for asking. It has to be one of the most eye and ear opening components in existance. I have removed digital playback from my setup altogether. My Wolcott amps have been at the factory being worked on for the last several weeks (hope to have them back next week), so i have not been listening. I have taken the opportunity to do a little work on the lighting in the room, but am getting anxious to get things back up and running. Walking into the room and seeing that polished black and brass turntable sitting there is making me crazy. Prior to shipping the amps out, I had been listening to LPs I had not heard in years.
IMHExperience EH6sn7 was equally no so good like stock Sovtek,
KenRad VT231 had much better harmonics, bass bloomy somehow, but match clearer picture then with EH or Sovtek,
Huge improvement was Sylvania 6sn7w metal base chrome top,
equally good was Mullard CV2821.
I have tried NU Grey glass to very good (similar to KR) more body them with Sylvania but less detail.
So it depends what do one prefer body or details what room you have what amp?
I have Clayton M100 which is pretty dark so I need tubes with details.
I'm using Bendix6106 as rectifier and EH as regulator, GEC KT66 was perfect in my previous 400sq feet room in current room 190 sq feet I'm using EH tubes with GEC KT66 too much bass.
Regards to all.

My Syrah is almost seven years now. The longest I have ever had an audio component! 8 or 9 poweramps have come and gone, the Syrah remains.

Tube rolling is tricky. I have tried 6F6, 350B and NOS 6L6 regulators and 6106, 5V4 and GZ37 rectifiers but right now I am listening to the stock sovtek 5881 and philips 5Z4 and prefer them! The bass is better with the 6F6 and 350B, but smoother and warmer with the stock tubes.

Favourite 6SN7 is Hytron JAN-CHY, but I will try the EH 6SN7 soon
