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

Waiting for a Cabernet, but Mick says he's "behind, waiting for parts" Ordered in January, hopeful for a summer delivery.

Thanks, I would love to know what you think of it. What finish did you get?

Thanks Slipknot,
I spoke with Fedex and looks like they need Micks business tax ID number. I emailed Mick and let him know, now it's back to the waiting game. I thought I was done with that! I guess a day or two more won't kill me.
Now on to tubes; since everybody, or just about, has been rolling NOS tubes perhaps we might benefit from a Supratek Tube Rolling thread specific to our new Pre and Amps. This thread is particularly tiresome to dig through though I am guilty of many rereadings. I guess I could start it and see what happens, huh? Looks like I answered my own thought. That is what I get for type-out-loud-thinking. Der.

Good deal Mc5baby! It sounds great out of the box, but get a couple of hundred hours on it before rolling tubes. I've had mine since late november, and it is still getting better. The phono stage in the Chenin is world class IMHO.
