Preamp Deal of the Century

Don't mean to change the subject but does anyone have any experience with Supratek power amps?

Hi Guy's,

I have to say, I am a little disappointed that there has not been much talk or raves about the Malbec's or the Montuse. I guess Mick's amps are not catching on.

Hi everyone.

I have the Malbec amps. They sound so good, I am going to keep them for a long time. I am in the process of adding the V-Caps to the Malbec. I had the V-Caps installed in my Chardonay Pre amp. The result is just incredible.I used to have the Cary Six Pac. I used to think the Six Pac were good. After hooking the Malbec into my system, I never look back to the Six Pac again. In testing the the Six Pac vs the Malbec, I hooked one Six Pac mono block to one speaker and one Malbec to the other speaker. There are a lot more music coming from the Malbec. The sound is also much clearer. Malbec also have volume control so you can balance the level on each speaker. The Malbec also allow you to control the level of warmth or brightness in the sound. I used both KT-88 and EL-34 tubes. IMHO, the EL-34 sound much better.

I 'll be turning off radar. Enjoy the music.

Tuongsy,
I have heard of others who have put V caps in their preamps. What differences did you hear when you made this mod. Also, how much in caps did it cost to do this? Bob

The music is much clearer. Bass is more defined. The best upgrade that I have done for my system. Two v-caps cost me less than $300.
