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 a lot Maril, I think I have got it right this time.
The only thing I still don't get is if the by-pass is allowed both when the Chardonnay is on and when it is off. Enjoy your Montecillo!

Can anyone comment about the remote of the Chardonnay: does it only works for volume control or does it also shitch on/off the unit and/or allows to cycle through different inputs?

Slowhand,
The podium speakers look very interesting. I am putting them on the hit list for the audiofest. Anyone else from the thread going also? I use Apogees so finding a more amplifier friendly speaker would be welcome. Bob

Ouch, Grant! Did any of the speaker drivers get damaged?
