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

Not bad Asa.

Did you order yours with the tesla-coil option for maximum Hollywood retro-look?

How's that?

Burgundies on the way! Just heard from Mick and my Burgundy amps are in transit. Mick says there extraordinary (he gets to listen to them before me).
I've been waiting about 4+ months for them. He had some delivery problems from transformer amnufacturer (specially designed and built for Mick's application). I just know they are going to be spectacular. Hoping that they will have enough muscle to drive my Avalon's. is there anyone else out there that has used these amps?

Clearly you boys don't know your Syrah from your Shiraz. Or your Burgundies from your Bordeaux.
You don't think it's odd that Mick's creations are named after substances known to distort and seriously impair and distort aural acuity? Is this some coincidence? Or perhaps a recommendation for auditioning?
No wonder they're sold "factory-direct".

707th post. Just noticed this when it popped up on the radar screen, freaked and hadta do it (I'll not be reading the other 706 :-) And I *had* thought I was a real Audiogoner...We (I and my preamp) are not worthy...

(I didn't even know Asa still walked among us. How's it hanging old buddy?)
