Upgrading from Supratek Pre to ?


I have a Supratek Syrah and I love it. I've had it for about five years, and it's provided nothing but stunning performance. I recently thought of upgrading the phono and I got a $3.5k Musical Fidelity KW phono stage, but while sounding different, it really wasn't better than the internal phono section of the Syrah. Hence, I sold it and am still using the Syrah.

I'm interested in hearing from folks who have had any of the Supratek preamps and have upgraded something they have found that sounds decidedly better. Anyone?

I have a Chenin and feel it is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

I have heard some great phono playback from Klyne, Audio Research, Cotter, and others, and some have been truly compelling but at the end of the day, I have no urge to "upgrade".

Suprateks are flexible and musical. I haven't heard anything that "kills" or "slays" them.

Have Fun.

I've hung onto bits and pieces of my old system simply because they performed so well together and I enjoyed them for so long.

Supratek Chenin, AtmaSphere M60s and a pair of venerable Quad 63s, refurbished a number of years ago.

This combination IS really special with well recorded vocals and acoustic instruments. However someday I may part with them, right now it's too soon.

My completely new system has the ASR Exclusive phono and the system itself is far more complicated then any system that I have used. I simply need time.

I don't know what budget you have in mind for a phono stage, your table, arm and cartridge are astonishing good.

My suggestion is have a listen to a few phono stages and full function preamps above $5000.00 in your system, used or new.
I think your system and ears will deserve it.
Shameless Plug!! I have a Supratek Chenin for sale on the Gon. Anyone interested? Bob
