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

It could still be another month till you get the preamp. After he finishes everything Mick will burn-in the preamp for almost a week before sending it to you. During this time Mick may also make adjustments to the pre if the sound isn't quiet to his liking. Patience young Alma, patience.

Alma,

When did you order your pre. I have a Cortese on order myself.

I ordered a Cabernet the first week in January, and haven't heard much from Mick outside of the first rounds of e-mails. I'm hoping for a June delivery, but don't realy know. Anyone have a good idea of the current timeline?

Slowhand,
FWIW, I ordered a tweaked Grange in November and will be taking delivery the second week of May.

I ordered my Cortese the end of October. I checked with Mick recently and he could not give me a date, just that they are running behind. I am sure they are working as fast as they can. As the owner of a Syrah, all I can say is what many others have said. It will be worth the wait.
