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

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.

Just got an email from Mick. My Chenin is all done, except for a couple of tweaks. Should be on it's way to me in a day or so. Our long wait is almost over....

Jay461,

After a lot of trials, I have had by far the best luck with the following:

Rectifier - Philips Miniwatt GZ 34

Regulators - 1st choice WE 350b (absolute best)
2nd choice Philips Miniwatt EL 37
.
Do wait about 200 + hours or more before trying to do any tube rolling.
.
Good Luck & Enjoy (you will)
