I got my tek three weeks ago when first received had a terrible hiss cant move around because of space so made some calls about (1000) all around the globe I got the best advice ever on hiss and hum problems Go to your local gun dealer pick up four bags of shot (pure lead)place around the supratek preamp your hum and hiss will be gone. Dead quiet. Amen.
Cables Supratek Chardonnay
Hi
My Supratek Chardonnay arrived (changed my impression of music - superb). Mick from Supratek used to recommend TMC cables and lately Audience Au24.
Here's what I am looking for:
- SILENT cables: the Chardonnay brought a bit of Hum & Hiss to the chain (because it's a high gain and so it is the power amp). TMC cables are highly shielded and people claim these are dead silent. Don't know about the Audience Au24.
- TIGHT bass: the problem here is my living room which is small for my speakers (Sonus Faber Cremona). Here and there the bass gets a bit boomy.
These are the main issues for me. Of course, the cables shall not have bright highs (not at all) and one other thing I strongly enjoy is air, lot's of air. Also, no mega buck cables please.
Within this framework, what would you suggest: TMC, Audience or any other?
Thank you.
