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

Updates please! Has anybody who's ordered one of these since January got it yet? Fiddler? Fiddler?! I ordered mine in late March and am just wondering where I am in the pecking order.

Aloha,

I have emailed Mick several times recently about options on my Chardonnay. Mick said production had slowed, but the preamps were sounding really good.

I didn't even ask him about an ETA. At this point, I figure why bother, I'll just be patient and I'll get it when I get it.

But it is getting somewhat frustrating.

Aloha All,

Just received this email from Mick on my Supratek:

"It is just about ready- about another 3-4 hours tomorrow and it will be done. A day to run in and it will be ready for a life in Hawaii."

I will keep you posted.

Aloha,

Warren

Yes! Thanks for the update, Fiddler. I'm about a month behind you, so it may be that I will get my Supratek about the time the leaves are changing here in the Great Smokies. Looking forward to your next post.

Cheers,
Chris
