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

Thanks alot guys, you've just provided me with a few more venues to vent my Epicurean nueroses, which, of course, makes you both enablers!! :0)

I'm lost in the '00 Bordeauxs right now, like a needle skipping in a groove (Help!). The Gruaud Larose is very fine...

Oh BTW Outlier, at $159 I'm speed dialing Costco's at lunch...So, much for that new amp, wire....

I hope that nobody here thinks that I would miss a fine wine discussion on the same thread with a fine preamp!

I have enjoyed the Penfold's and I have also found that there are several nice Shiraz made by Grant Burge in the Barossa Valley region of Australia. Even just his basic Shiraz at about $22/bottle is a very nice wine. He has a premium Shiraz at about $100/bottle called Meshach which is a real treat.

Asa, you are in a good place to be stuck! The '00 Bordeaux is quickly gaining the reputation as the wine of the Millenium. Get 'em while you can.

Hi there

A month ago, I ordered a Chardonnay for myself. I've found lots of problems to transfer the money to Mick's account in Australia. In short, I've lost about US$150. I told Mick about it. His answer:

"$150!!!!!!!!! You are getting ripped off - I would demand an investigation. If you dont get it back I will go half and deduct $75 from price."

Nice. Once again, Mick proved to be truly unique within this audio business. Thanks for that.

Has any one listened to the Supratek Burgundy amps. I know this is a preamp thread but seemed the best place to post. The amps look stunning and use the same driver tube as the Lamm ML1.1's. There are alot of reviews and feedback on Supratek preamps but not much on their amps. Any experience with these amps would be appreciated.
