Preamp Deal of the Century

Has anyone come up with a great interconnect (RCA) to be run from a CD source to a Cortese (or Syrah) ?

What would be the closest you would put 2 Cortese (Syrah) pieces to each other ?

Did you ever settle on what you think to be the best PC for the Cortese ?

Hi Cello, The best power cord I have found for the Supratek's is the Moray James PWR 1.5. The manufacturer has recently changed his design and claims it would be cost prohibitive to continue producing the 1.5 in small lots for those who request it. I have had his upgraded version (a PWR 2.5) for a number of months and find it to be NOT very good in this application - or any other.

The Manufacturer has sent me an even newer version of the PWR 2.5 with modifications to make it similar to the PWR 1.5 - but it has not yet arrived. So I do not have a comment on that yet.

The only problem with this manufacturer is that the designs keep changing. In Fact, I wouldn't be too certain that if I purchased a new PWR 1.5 today, if it would be the same cord I have had for the past year.

Sorry I wasn't more helpful on this.

Great interconnects for the Supratek... I've owned many -

On a recommendation from Asa many years ago, I've come to prefer the Audio Note's (AN-Vz, KSL-LP1) CD to Pre, followed by high(er) end NBS interconnects to the amp. That combo has always produced great results no matter what other components I use. Today, I use Siltech Compass Lake followed by NBS Monitor 0 from the Supratek to the amp.

I do not believe that having a Supratek dictates a particular interconnect be used. Anything will work in that application. It's mostly a matter of your personal tastes which determine what interconnect is best for you & your system.

Ok you're right Artar1, it was not a review just the most detailed (but eloquent) description of a sound never heard that I have ever seen.
