| Supratek Owners Thread @sim_audio_nerd I asked Mick about his 6l6 based amp a few years ago. At the time he said he was so backed up with preamp orders he wasn’t making amps. Maybe he would be willing to now. I took inspiration from his 6l6 amp by having a push pull a... | |
| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET @whiteknee just make sure you post on the Inspire by Dennis Had thread if you’re interested in a preamp from him. Search the main thread for preamp and you’ll see plenty of recent-ish posts about preamps. | |
| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET @whiteknee you can get a hold of Dennis through the Audio Aficionado board. You have to pay to be a subscriber there but you can get get in touch with folks to order stuff from Dennis. There’s also a Cary Audio board there as well. | |
| Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!! @rdschicago if you are patient you can wait for Dennis’s amps to show up on eBay. You can also make an account on Audio Aficionado and ask there. The PSE uses 2 300b in SE parallel for each side and so should go I’ve you more power/better dam... | |
| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET I think the owners all congregate over at Audio Aficionado. You gotta pay to use the forum but it is the best place to see what he is up to. Dennis reads all of the posts there and some of his tech partners are there too. The choice to use the W... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Heh, just realized all of the ones I mentioned need adapters lol. These should be pretty close to the same tubes if you get the 6sn7 versions but the prices will make you cry:) GEC/Marconi/Osram b63 Raytheon VT231 Sylvania 6sn7wgt I’m not ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @tksteingraber I have put many tubes through my Cabernet. Keep in mind that sounds good will vary depending on what tubes I have in mt amp. When Mick built mine I had him put in a 6v/12v switch. Best thing I ever did. 12sn7 are much less expensive... | |
| New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW ! Wasn’t it JA that dismissed the first Cary 300b SE amp as “… a tone control. An unreliable one at that.” He did hook up his speakers (some sort of anniversary B&W monitor, silver something) eventually and was very impressed. He was quite confu... | |
| New Dennis Had amps @jafant I get the idea that he wanted to retire. Running a business is a lot of work. Now he sets his own schedule, does what he wants, and makes a few bucks on the side. Not a bad way to live! | |
| New Dennis Had amps @tinear123 you could also try posting on the audio aficionado site. He is known to read the posts there. He has also sold stuff there but you have to be a paying member to access the for sale forum. I don’t think he has anything posted there right... | |
| New Dennis Had amps @mwb1 you never even tried it? I mean yeah, you should try it before selling. How else would you know which amp to keep? | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I think it’s fair to say that Mick considers those more tweaks than anything else. I also understand his reasoning behind not wanting to change the sound of his product. He knows and understands how his products sound. When you make things sound d... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread When I asked about a copper Cabernet last year Mick said he wasn’t offering those anymore because the scratch too easily. When you order remember that you can customize the preamp. It’s one of the advantages of a made to order item. I opted f... | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? @gwng8 Sorry, just noticed you replied here. He was super passive aggressive about me getting back on. I went ahead and paid the fee because Dennis actively monitors the thread and answers questions sometimes via one of the posters. Hope you're en... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I didn't have any "upgrades" done to my Cabernet but I did have a few mods. I have two balanced sets of outputs. The bigger one is that I can run either 6sn7 or 12sn7 in my amp. That cost me $500 but considering what the better 6sn7 tubes cost and... |
