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
the malbecs sound very open and dynamic. the best way i can describe them is they are a bridge between tubes and solid state. taking all the positives of each and very little (if any) of the negatives.
I am glad you are enjoying the Malbecs. I am still waiting for mines. I have a question for you: what happened with the buzzing you were experiencing when you got the Malbecs? Thanks, Pablo.
