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

Does that mean that you would pay %9000 for my Chenin? Bob

Guys, I'll also throw in shipping and handling.

On second thoughts why sell an absolute classic. What could I possibly replace the Dual with? It's taken me almost a decade to get to this point in my pursuit of hi-fi bliss. I mean let's face it, how many other pre-amp manufacturers make a product like the "Dual" (two in one effectively)?

I may just hang onto this little baby like a 1955 Penfolds Grange.

Sorry everyone.

Fiddler,jmr and other "mad upgraders" - I have followed your lead and replaced the volume pot with the Alps RK50 ( on cortese) - definite improvement - fuller sound, sharper edges, lower noise floor - much more "live" sound - not sure if it is better than the dact but had a ARC ref3 in my system while ago and while it was not as musical as the cortese it had a lot more body and heft - the alps pot seems to go some way to providing that without losing musicality - now looking at selector switch - anyone had a go at replacing that
Cheers

I didn't look for the thread for a while and I was saddly surprised by Mick's decision. As a proud owner of a Chenin and a pair of Malbecs I want to thank Mike for many hours of pure pleasure and wish him the best of luck on his new endeavor. Mike: you should try to grow some Malbec down there! It's a wonderful grape. Best, Pablo.
