Preamp Deal of the Century

If anyone is looking for a true "World Class" preamp at a very fair price..heed my advice. I just recieved a Supratek Syrah preamp that was hand built by Mick Maloney in Western Australia, and it is absolutely beautiful! This preamp is the best deal you will ever find. I would put it up against any preamp out there for both looks and sound. Price? $2500 for the Syrah (includes Killer Phono stage). Not into phono? Try the Chardonney line stage for $2100. Don't get me wrong, I am not associated with this company. I am just a very happy owner! This preamp is VERY dynamic, yet liquid. It conveys the sound of music better than any other preamp that I have ever heard! You can check out the Supratek website at www. cantech.net.au

Well, the pair of WE350b's went back for a refund, but the good news is I managed to find the Sylvania 6F6g for $35 a pair shipped. Here is a picture:



I hope this is the right one. David, if you look at the pic and say it is, I will post a link where to get them.

Hello Joe.Yes, I believe that is the one, however.... It is difficult for me to tell if they are rounded plates in the picture. If they are,and at that money: every Supratek owner should definetely grab a pair. Well done sir?

They are round plates. I actualy got them on ebay, and he has more, buy it now only, at $15 each. Here is the link to the ad:

Ebay 6F6G

His name is David. He has eight left, of different brands. I should have bought all of the ST shaped tubes, but I wasn't thinking. At least he won't jack up the price, so others can get this deal, well, at least 8 more tubes!

Hope this helps.

Joe,

Thanks, I snagged a pair of the 6F6g's - You have earned your place in heaven with this one (or at least part of the way there).

Chardonnay-what's the best sounding tubes for the line stage, regulator and rectifier. I should have my chardonnay in a couple of days.

Yes, I will let it run in before doing any kind of tube rolling but in the mean time would like to start making a list of prefered tubes and buy them at my own sweet time.

Your valued suggestion's please.
