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

Steve. Nice post . "Fine tuning" is the more appropriate word here in this thread. I have a sneeking suspicion that most of us here have "been there and done that".Many of us have experimented with IC's,speaker wire,tubes etc,and can hear the differences these may or may not impart in ones room.I suppose some might call that tweaking,one can call it whatever they want.I would preferr to call it Fine Tuning myself. Are you fine tuning your proacs or are you "tweaking" them??? A superb choice in speakers [by the way] and one that is very dear to my heart![still miss my response 3's to this very day] Interesting......I would classify that type of work as being in the tweaking category and I am certain Stuart Tyler would also call it "Tweaking". He has "voiced" all of his response series speakers to sound as "beautiful" as they do. Steve.... no disrespect here,I am very intrigued to be sure,however; I just don't believe there would be any reward in modding that speaker with a raven ribbon......and yes, I do believe the Raven is a superb driver.Hope you will post your thoughts on your Tweek. Cheers.

Please do share your observations on the new power cord once it is in and broken in.

Assuming you love it, please also let us know how to get one.

Thanks

As for power cords I use all Sonoran Plateau..The Plateau has the Micro-Bearing steel insulator. Really wokeup my Krell SACD player..Everything is now in the right proportion and with even greater perspective..I have the old Sonoran cable hardwired right into my Melos outboard powersupply. Even though it will be a hassle to replace the cable I will upgrade to the Plateau..Tom
Power cord update. Well... Unfortunately I cannot recommend the new version of the cord. So far, its not sounding too good compared to the old version. I'm going to continue letting this thing break in and see if it gets any better.
Anyone try the CBS-Hytron 6L6Gc tube in your Syrah? Just put them in today and they sound pretty nice and look way cool!!!
