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

Easy Tweak for preamp! - I have been playing with diy active shielded cables ( a la tesla) and tried it on the cortese power supply to pre cable - as it is a copper braid shield I just added a 12v wall wart power supply, 12v LED lamp and connected it to either end of the braided shield - switched polarity to get the best sound. I thought it a small but clear improvement - worth a try esp. if you have that stuff lying around

Anyone had problems with the select 1 remote & aquired a replacement?
The one supplied with my Syrah has died and I can find no trace of them online.

Mine died a couple of years ago, and Mick got me a replacement for a nominal cost.
