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 all, I have a Cabernet Dual which was hopefully shipped today to Sydney. I plan to use the 101D pre-amp section going into a pair of 13E1 SET mono amplifiers (30 watts) and the 6H30 pre-amp section going to a seperate subwoofer. The 13E1 will hopefully power the 2 way loudspeaker full range. Any thoughts or suggestions? Btw, this is my second Supratek, my first was a Sauvignon, which I sold to a friend. Cheers |
Hi Clipsal. Congrats on the new Dual Cab. I am green with envy! The whole concept and circuit design of the new dual cab is truly brilliant IMO. While I am not familiar with the wiring arangement or the crossover interface of the Osbourn speaker system however.... I believe it would be advantageous for you to employ the 101D section of the supratek to operate at the 125 hz crossover point, whereby the 6H30 section of the preamp would handle the bass driver and sub system below that point. Is the Osborn sub modual self powered? You certainly will have a lot of hook up and/or wiring options open to you for configuring your system.... particularly if you are ever contemplating biamping at some point. Please keep me imformed as I am seriously contemplating a Supratek dual for my main rig. All the best on your endevour!....david |
i'm not sure if anybody else has seen this, but i found an interesting interview between mick and a member (perhaps mod) at an aussie audio forum from march 2007. pretty good read. http://www.stereo.net.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=2550 |
