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

here's a dumb question:

how do i call mick? i have never made an international call. from what i gather, i dial 011 61 8 97572639 or 011 61 8 97579786. which of these numbers is the best number? i can't really tell if one is a fax number from his website info.

before you say it, i already know that mick is 13 hours ahead of my time zone so i will call at an appropriate hour.

thanks.

Has anyone tried any of Mick's preamps with the Class D amps? Specifically, the Cabernet Single with the Spectron Musician III SE?

Hi, I've used the Cortese & Grange preamps with Nuforce; Bel Canto; eAR; Panasonic and ICE based digital amps. Sounds good with all of them. Valves bring a certain dimension, body and lushness to the party that helps the slightly cool-neutral sound of digital amps.

Regards,

Steve

There is an excellent new review of the Sauvignon in Australian Hi Fi November/December edition.

Edgar Kramer is the reviewer and his review is spot on in my estimate.This bloke really knows how to listen.

Nice to see that they measure very well too.

Mr Kramer ends up buying the Sauvignon to use as his new reference.
