Preamp Deal of the Century

Hi Slowhand

I am listening to my Malbec and being shocked again with the level of new sound that have not heard before from my old CDs. The V-cap keep getting better as I logged more burn in time.

BTW, thanks for introducing us to Supratek.

Tim

You are more than welcome Tim I am glad so many people have discovered and enjoyed the Supratek products. I spoke to a friend that is willing to put the V-Caps in my Cortese (he builds tube equipment). He seems to think that most Teflon caps have a tizzy sound to them, but I told him that everyone that has tried them on this thread seem to love them.

By the way, do any of you Supratek owners plan on attending the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? I plan on going and I would love to meet some of the fellow Supratek owners. If anyone is attending, maybe we could meet somewhere.

Hi People ...haven't posted here for a while. Just reporting that Mick Maloney visited my house a few days ago with Malbecs and Mondeuse monobloc amplifiers in hand, to try out on my Apogee Stage ribbon loudspeakers. Well, the amps sounded wonderful! Full of life and energy and the soundstage jumped right forward into your face compared to the ICE-250A digital amplifiers I was using. Midrange was solid and palpable, treble sweet and bass tight and strong.

The Malbec and Mondeuse amplifiers have lots of adjustability with switching from triode-pentode-ultralinear mode and variable feedback and damping factor to suit any loudspeaker. The Mondeuse seemed unburstable on the difficult to drive Apogees and easily took volume levels to 1.00 o'clock and beyond. Great sounding power amplifiers overall, in the same tradition as Mick's groundbreaking tube preamps.

I received an e-mail from a fellow Supratek owner today. He is going to the RMAF. If any other Supratek owners are going, please let me know. It would be great if we could get together to meet each other in person.
