Preamp Deal of the Century

I just ordered 1 meter umbilical cord from Revelation Audio at the price of $269 including shipping for my Chardonnay.

For those of you who want a cheap and good solution for vibration control, I can recommend Nordost Pulsar Points for the power supply and preamp. Matches the look of the Supratek very well and provides a nice improvment soundwise. The rubberfeet make it sound bad whatever you put under it.

Nice system Slowhand. Yes, Kevin's products have been a Godsend for my system. I balked and agonized for a while over spending so much on the CRAZ Rack. Now that I have, it is one thing I WILL NEVER SELL. I've been fortunate enough to have had some good isolation products/racks in my system or in for review or audition, but his have always come out on top for my tastes and preferences.

How do you like that Granite CDP?

Well, I have been living with my new SRA iso bases for a few days now and m impressions are as follows.

I liken the sound to a jazz band that has been together for so long that each member knows exactly what the others are about to do next, taking on a very "tight" sound. That is what the iso bases that are under my Cortese and Berning amp sound like. They "tighten" up the music giving bass a very powerful, but controlled sound. Mid-range has a "you are there" feel to it. Vocalists seem to be right in the room with you. Highs sparkle, but are not bright. The sound takes on a more "live" feel to it. A couple of things that I really like is that the soundstage on most recordings seems wider (far beyond the speakers). Depth also improves on some recordings. I have a percussion cd by an artist named Mino Cinelu. This is a great reference cd that I use a lot. With the iso bases I was amazed at the power that the percussion took on. You could not only get a feel for the size of the drums Mino is hitting, but you can get a good idea of the size of the room that the recording took place in. That is really cool! I could go on and on, but I am sure that you get the idea that I love these bases. I highly recommend them for use under the Suprateks. I don't pretend to know how they work, but they DO work. I hope to isolate all of my equipment with the VR3 bases.

Has anyone got the Mondeuse amps yet?

Hello Slowhand
I heard from Mick last week.
He did some improvements on the Mondeuse & was waiting for some parts from the U.S.that he just recieved.
He was going to work on them this week.
Just knowing that the Mondeuse continuies to evolve and improve before the final release ..
Is a statement of Mick's high standards he has set for his products.
I will let you's know when I recieve them!
