Unfortunately, no, not with any specificity. My impression is that it'll be this year, though.

Where did you buy the Supratek Caberent Dual? I'm having a hard time finding it

 

[Hiker816]

You have to specifically ask him for it, but he wrote about it here:

And here's the main page: https://www.supratek.com.au/

Theres a used one for sale currently, would save the wait time for a new one.

I won't be at the Munich high-end, but I was talking with Vinh at Danacables, and he told me about the new Cayin and that the Sus/Voila will be there. I just thought I'd post about it.

My eyes are set on the Primavera. I'm also gonna try to get a good 300b pre and put it in front of my CFA3 while I wait on the Primavera. I gotta ask @paradoxper what 300B pre to use. I'll get the elrogs too

Cabernet with CFA3 is great. If you find Primavera too reference sounding it can also help warm things.
The TM300B is really special as are the Perryman mesh 45's if you go with the dual switch.

You will also want to try the MELZ 1578 and metal base GZ34 as some top choices.
But I'd recommend going through both the 6SN7 and Rectifier threads to get fully sorted.

Have you listened to your WA33 JPS Elite Edition side by side the Primavera for comparison?
I'm asking because I know how much you like your WA33. I waiting on the Feliks Envy Performance Edition in American Walnut--which will be the first 300B amplifier I've ever heard--but I'm definitely not selling my WA33 until I'm well acquainted with the characteristics of the Envy.
Then and only then. will I make my decision to sell one or the other--or possible keep both if I find they complement each other enough.

I haven’t. Maybe I can get a demo from some dealer

Good idea.
Again--only knowing how much you like your WA33.

@Ciggavelli av
Also--have you ever had the opportunity to hear / or spend sufficient time with the Envy?

I heard the Envy at can jam and didn't like it at all. Coulda been a bad chain or bad tubes though.

Hmm--now I really can't wait for it to arrive.

 

[Whazzzup]

The woo is tuff to beat, runners up ain’t so bad

 

[joseph69]

The woo is tuff to beat.

This is why I'm not letting my WA33 go--I enjoy my WA33 immensely, but just interested in trying something different in my chain, as well as the outcome.

Have both and can't imagine letting go of either.
They sort of fill different niches for me in terms of what theyre good at/bring to the table and which are best with different sets headphones.

I think I'd say I prefer the Envy slightly more overall, (something just fantastic about 300B's texturing, and how it things sound a bit more full), but there's a few headphones that have uniquely good synergy with the wa33.
Fwiw I haven't gotten the WE's on the Envy, I've heard it briefly but I've heard several mention its a huge upgrade to it

 

[joseph69]

Even though as I mentioned--I've never heard a 300B, my gut tells me I'm going to be keeping both as well.
Now all I have to do is take delivery of it and let my ears make the real decision.

 

[Whazzzup]

Both? Well that’s having cake and eating it as well. Congrats.
