Supratek Grange/Cabernet preamp

Supratek has a new addition to their preamplification product line: the Grange/Cabernet (full funtion/linestage). It seems to be a refinement or modification of their former flagship offering (the Cortese, still in production), at least the phono section is. Are there any 'goners out there who can provide some info on this product in terms of its price/performance, particularly in reference to the Cortese/Sauvignon? Any owners of the Syrah or Cortese who may be contemplating an upgrade? Supratek has a new website at www.supratek.biz.

From what I know, there are only a few people who have listened to the Grange...and those few have been very pleased (to say the least). From Mick, I've received mixed statements - on one hand he told me the Grange wasn't necessarily better than the Cortese, just different and on the other, he said the Grange was "the ultimate" and would "blow away the competition...if it has any".

My bet is that the Grange is a great preamp and at the price, it should be.

I'm a happy Cortese owner. To say that I'm happy with this preamp is an understatement. To me the Cortese is music. It's so involving that you have a feeling of being able to communicate with the soul and essence of the music itself. By the time I bought the Cortese it's the "ultimate" (that's only a month ago!). I have no itch to upgrade but I'm interested to know how nice the Grange sounds.

Dear Steve:

That is a fascinating post and though I do not have valves or have ever heard the supratek it certainly leaves me wanting to. You are very lucky indeed. Thanks for sharing that with me
