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

still waiting on the cabernet dual. nothing to report on the malbecs per se. i think i mentioned it before, but the malbecs are very unlike any tube amp i've ever used. they aren't particular warm, romantic, or colored, but they're not sterile and uninvolving like some solid state amps i've used. they are essentially the bridge that joins tubes to solid state.

I'm still waiting on my Cortese and Mondeuse. Cortese is actually ready, and Mondeuse is in the final assembly stage.

Can a 6L6GAY Be used in the regulator position? Is it similar electronically to the 5881 and 6L6GC?

Thanks,
