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

Hi Guys,

Has anyone recieved one of the New Cortese preamps with the new 3 stage all direct coupled phono stage? I have one on order from Mick, but I am dying to know what it sounds like. Mick says it is a huge leap ahead in sound for the phono stage.

My new Grange should arrive in a few weeks; I'll email you shortly thereafter with the scoop.

Hi Everybody,
My Chenin looks like it is stuck in Oakland for some reason. Fedex shows a Regulatory Angency Clearance Delay, any idea what that is? It is now 11:42 in the a.m. and the tracking says it was due to arrive by 10:30. I sent my social and phone numbers to MIck before shipping, but as of yet no one from Fedex has called, should I call them? Not that I slept on the couch to be closer to the door when they were supposed to deliver or anything. It's kinda like Santa got stopped at Immigration, and I the anxious child can do nothing but curse in anticipation. Any ideas or advice is more than welcome.
thanks all,

E

E,
Call FedEx in Memphis. it's stuck in Customs. Chances are they'll take your SS# over the phone and it will release by tomorrow AM. Then FedEx will follow up with a bill for the duty on it.
