Preamp Deal of the Century

I have been contemplating purchasing the Supratek grange, but cannot get an email repy from the company. I have tried three times and to no avail. does anyone know how else to contact them.

Good luck convincing Mick to build you a Grange or a Cabernet. He says they are too labor intensive and expensive to build so he decided to focus on the lower models.

Thx xiii, I would love to have one his cortese units. Maybe if i tell him that. He might responed

Just heard a Burmester 088 preamp. Has all the magic of tubes, and the strength of SS. It does not get better than this folks!

Well, you could always buy a Chenin and gradually upgrade it. I have done tons of work to mine, changing the output tube type, plate loading scheme, output transformers, bias scheme, power supply, etc. Point-to-point wiring makes it a lot easier to upgrade.

Just now working on an "ultimate" power supply upgrade for the Chenin, which I should have completed within the next week. It is a CLCLCRC design using Lundahl LL1638 low DCR chokes and all film caps. Just fits inside the Chenin PS unit! It simulates very well on PSUD-II, giving a 100x decrease in ripple noise from the stock, while also having a faster settling time. The Lundahls are dual-coil chokes, meaning they can be wired with one coil each in the + and - legs of the circuit, which should give added common mode noise reduction. I'll let you now how it sounds.
