| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Even a cheap tube pre can do wonders for a system, a very good solid state pre often is very expensive. Off course a pre “color” the sound, but with tube rolling you often can get the sound you like, should you want to change the sound. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Unfortunately they are a bit too expensive for me, will there be a cheaper stereo version ? | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Do you guys know what the input gain is on these amps ? | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated I know it doesn’t have tubes, but you could take a look at the Swedish Moonriver intergraded amp, gets very good reviews | |
| Supratek Owners Thread When I asked Mick that question, he replied a little bit more of everything 😜 The chrome looks very nice especially in the evening when other lights in the room reflects of the 2 big domes, but I think there will be many that think it is too much... | |

| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 Feel like I have moved the discussion on to Supratek, which was not my intention, please let us go back to AVA and Belles. Be interesting how the new 400 will look. | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 Sorry guys I made a mistake in my last post, too much red vine, the gain is too high on the 6SN7 output, the adjustment works on the 300B, but unfortunately I loose the right channel when activating the gain switch, have sent pictures to Mick of t... | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I use two Rothwell’s at my power amp inputs which helps a little bit, no the 300B is still too high, I asked Mick if the power amp would work with the Cabernet and he said no problem!!! I didn’t think I would have this problem, so never looked fo... | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I like to be able to change between them, the 6SN7 is more detailed, but the 300B can sound very nice with small assemble jazz. It is useable, but could be interesting trying an amp better suited to the gain of Supratek. Accuphase has some class ... | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I wish that was true, turning the gain all the way down I can only use 15-20% of the volume knob. Also the gain only can be turned down on the 300B output. | |
| AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100 I ended up getting the Belles SA30 class A power amp, great sound, only problem is a bit of a gain mismatch with my Supratek Cabernet pre, it sounds great, only my volume control is a bit hampered by both being high gain amps, so still interested ... | |
