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

Rockhead, Fiddler & others: Infact I just sold my old preamp, meaning, I'm without a preamp altogether until the Supratek arrives. I'm lucky because I use a "Air Tight ATM-2" for an amp which allows for a line-level source i.e., CD player, directly into the amplifier using the amps left and right attenuators for volume level control -- but the sound is too thin for me for any extended or meaningful listening. I wish the old pre wasn't snapped up as quickly as it had, oh well!
I just emailed Mick yesterday to ask him if the Supratek came with an IEC or a hard-wired power cord. He said IEC. (That's what I had hoped as I want to use one of my Virtual Dynamic power cords with it)

I did not ask him what the status of my unit was and he didn't mention it in his reply. I am just trying to be patient.

I had rather wait a little longer and not rush him and receive a first-class preamp.

Believe me, as soon as I receive it, I will post here and give my initial impressions and will follow-up with a second post after break-in.

Jewel, let me know how you like the Virtual PC on the Supra when you get it. Thanks.
