Preamp Deal of the Century

Is there a phone number that you can call and talk to Mick, or is he only available via email?

Thanks

Mick responds to emails often - twice a day in some cases.

Has anyone compared this to the First Sound Presence Deluxe MKII preamp?

it is risky business to call any gear the best deal of the century??
If this preamp is the best deal of the century, then it still has long way to go?? This new century just began.
my question is how do these supratek users said about this
preamp deserves credit or trust? what I am saying is why should I trust these users? since I have no way trying this
preamp? I am curious.

Timchen,

Don't be such a cynic. How do you trust anyone that posts here? And you probably can't audition 75% of all of the equipment that is reviewed here anyway. Some of it is way to expensive to audition, much of it is probably unavailable in your area and yes, some is available only online.

You have to learn to read between the lines. Read here, read at AA, do a Google search, etc. Gather all of the info you can find and then make a judgement call. I ordered a Supratek site unseen. I simply read all of the posts at AA, emailed some of the posters personally and then talked with Mick himself. Several of the AA Supratek owners have been around AA a long time and are very respected members.

But in the end, it still boils down to a judgement call, just like buying equipment you "can" audition. How do you know that the equipment you audition is not going to blow-up in 90 days. You don't. You just make the best decision you can and then you live with it.

And no one is trying to force you to buy a Supratek. But if you don't, it may very well be your loss!
