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

Yes, I've found Mick can forget what's asked of him. He has a tech in the U.S., who I had a private exchange with which some months back but can't find now.

... Mick sent a wood version instead of the black unit I ordered ... The unit also has a loose or defective power tube socket as one of the 300Bs is very, very wobbly once inserted.

It’s not what you ordered and it’s defective. I’d send that back for a refund.

Please post how and if this gets resolved.  I have one on order and the truth is I'm not in the habit of paying to create problems for myself.  Having to repack and ship a new preamp for repair or refund falls right into that category as well.  

deutscherhififan,

If black/Chrome is what you ordered then I stick with that choice. They are beautiful and I would not think of getting the natural wood version.

Please keep us posted
