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

Thanks for the reply and the headsup on the tube rolling thread. As far as I can gather from reading the thread, there's still no real consensus as people have different setups and wants from their systems.... however a few notable tube examples keep poppin up over and over, 350b, Tung-sol RP, Bendix 6106, Kenrads etc to name a few....
(However $400 for a matched WE 350B nos pair is a bit pricey!)

So i'll try the 6106 first and go from there :o)

Thanks for the advice.

I initially read the glowing reviews of the Supratek and just naturally assumed they were unbiased. After reading the way some of you attacked the two posters who were just asking for help in resolving system issues I now realize that many of you are so small in your perspectives and lives I can never believe anything written here.

Let's see. Nearly 3,000 posts over a five-year period written by dozens of different people, you see a couple of negative ones written by the same guy, and you are ready to dismiss the whole lot? Exactly who is "small" in their perspective?
