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

Mamba is a dealer for these BV things. He has spammed a few forums over the past few days. I do not think this is an acceptable use of the Audiogon forums. Guess I'll email the powers that be.

Tonight I listened to the Syrah's phono stage for the first time - on a friends system. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

I just emailed Mick to find out about getting a pre with a phono stage - and how long it will take! I have got to have that sound!! and fast!!

Good to see so many people happy with the Syrah .I have been enjoying the Merlots 18 watts monos for the last 6 months and got the opportunity to try the Converts 45/2A3 monos .Well..they will not leave my house .45 is really special and goes pretty well with my 104 dbs speakers ...

Hi Jean

Do you use Syrah for your Merlots? I am contemplating to switch my gears to all tubes. I have Coincident Total Eclipses,14 ohm/94 db. Do you think Merlots/Syrah is a good match for my speakers? How's your experience with Merlots? Are Mick's Amps as good as his preamps? Thanks.
