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

What is the build quality of the Supratek versus some of the other similarly priced and revered preamps?
My personal experience is with the First Sound (among dozens of more main stream pre's) and this showed me a terrific build, and not a homemade look as some smaller companies are wont to do.
I know that it gets rave reviews from owners, but generally owners like or love what they own, so this can be skewed.
Not having seen the Supratek in person,(though the exterior is quite striking) I don't know, but would like to. Can some of the owners of this product comment?
Thanks,
Larry

Lrsky,
On 7/28/03 you posted this:
>>Mick is a great guy, but I always question 4 to 7 month waits, with associated service issues.
Tubegroover is an obviously good listener, and I already respect his writings. So if he likes it that is enough for me. And I have seen almost all of these things first hand in my travels to 100 stores working inside the industry.
Thanks

Why are you asking this again if you believe Tubegroover enough to trust his judgment?
The Supratek threads are full of information if you take the time to dig a little.
What is your agenda?

Larry I thought you would have been taught this lesson by now..Everything is, as it was before.Nothing ever changes not people or their perceptions of each other or the things they possess.Tom

And the tweak's response has nothing to do with the question; only lame commentary from a lame conributor.

If you read the audiotweak's other posts you'll find that most of them are concerned with the products he sells or simply off topic snide comments such as this. Ignore him.
