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

Ray,

Mick shipped to me on a Monday and I had it in hand on Thursday afternoon.

Let us know when you receive it and have had a chance to give it a listen after a little break in.
.
Remember, it will get a whole lot better after some break-in and some NOS tubes after you have around 300 hours on it can do some real wonders as well.
.
I would suggest that you run your CD player 24/7 (lower volumes are fine) when not playing LP's. It will get you there much faster.

Good Luck,
Larry

One other comment. Make sure that Mick gives your Social Security number to Fed Ex or they might hold the shipment for an extended period. I think Mick knows this by now, but just in case, make sure you have given Mick your SS and ask him to give it to Fed Ex when he drops off your pre-amp.

Ray,
Congratulations on the pending shipment! You are in for a fun ride! Try to to touch base with Mick Sunday night to ENSURE that your SS number is on those shipping documents. Otherwise, your Chard. is gonna sit in Anchorage customs.
