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

Anyone have any experience with changing the 6j6 tubes in the Chenin? I read the entire 'tube swapping' Supratek thread and no mention there.

Currently, I'm using Phillips M8081 (unknown age, got em used). I swapped in the original Sovtek 6j6 tubes and it sounded awfully shrill with glare.

Other tubes I'm using and very pleased with are Bendix 6106 regulator, Ken Rad 6sn7, Sovtek KT66. Thanks to the many who suggested these.
Does anyone know what kind of chassis wire Mick is using
in his preamps? Copper?, silver-plated copper? Silver?
