Sony SCD-1 vs Musical Fidelity Tri Vista
I am awaiting the arrival of a used MF tri-vista 21 dac and will use my sony xa777es as a transport for cd and player for sacd. I will pass along my impressions in time

Larryi, The Supratek I have is a Cabernet. It has a 3 position switch to change bias. 45, 300 or PX4. I was running at the 45 position which I assume is the lowest current. Is their another way that I am not aware of?

Preamp Deal of the Century
I would like to take a moment to apologize and clear any misconceptions I caused earlier this month with a classified ad I posted here on Audiogon. In it, in an amateur attempt at marketing, I surmised that with Supratek taking on investors and gr... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Indigrose and FPV, let me tell you although it was quite a long wait, the preamp is spectacular, in fit, finish and sonics. I have owned, Conrad Johnson, Mcintosh, Lamm and others, and it is the best sounding preamp I have owned, and I recomend it... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
FPV, do you actually believe that one classified ad, which I do believe as a private customer, having been mislead for 9 months, I have the right to assume what I do, on Audiogon for a private sale is going to "derail" business for this company? D...
