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

Hi Slowhand,
.
I asked Mick to put a phase switch on my new Grange and for whatever reason (I don't remember since it was so long ago when I asked), he said he could not. It is probably worth an email to him to ask anyway.

Hi Larry,

I sent Mick an e-mail asking about inverting phase. I will let you know what he says.

To get an inverted signal, you would typically have to put another tube in as each tube inverts the signal. In my experience, the inverted signal would always sound worse. This was true on my Milliennium preamp.

Whatever happened to Asa on this thread? Hope his health is good and that he is enjoying the music.

I just read a review on the Canadian Pasiphae that works through attenuation of the transformer. Has anyone mentioned the Blowtorch?
