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

I'd like to know where Larry get his information from. I've been speaking with Mick for the past couple of weeks, and haven't heard anything about him not personally building my Grange. In fact, it was quite obvious that he had a lot of work to do and was building units as fast as he could. Waiting times certainly aren't down. I see no evidence to support larry's claim. Spreading rumors without fact is poor form.

Mick posted in this thread on December 31 that:

Big things coming up for Supratek this year. It will no longer be a one man operation- Kevin Covi and an European audiophile invester are coming in as partners . Supratek will have considerable financial clout to enable it to increase production and improve service.

I am not trying to spread false rumors. One can reasonbly assume, that as production increases, and the wait time decreases, he cannot personlly build all the units by himself. If the consensus believes my post to be mis-leading, I will revise it. It is not my intention to spread false rumors, just to market my Cabernet.

I for one believe that, without evidence that your claim is true, the ad IS misleading.

One could naturally make the assumption you did, but without any evidence you are simply speculating, and potentially derailing business for Mick.

larry:

the fact that you titled your ad: "supratek cabernet one of the last" sounds awfully like the company is out of business just from the title. keep in mind that mick's business is LARGELY due to word of mouth. bringing in investors and kevin covi (who is also responsible for assistance with the circuit design) does not mean that mick will no longer be an integral part of supratek.
