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

Forgot to say on the last post that the remote is an extra $150.00, so total with shipping is $2790.00.

Tim- you will not regret it. If the phono stage has been improved, then a real bargin becomes an unbelieveable bargin. Just be sure that you are careful with locating the units avoid picking up hum (due to unshielded wiring, not due to tubes).

Swampwalker, how far apart should the 2 pieces be so I don't pick up that hum? Inches, feet, different levels on the componenet rack etc.

Talked to Mick a couple of weeks ago and yes, you can use a learning universal remote. I think I'll do that. The TV plastic remote is looks ugly and cheap. Anyone aware of a learning universal remote with a minimalist (just a few buttons) and cool design?
