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

Hi Ethifi. They would be very good sounding tubes if they were not so tired. It is imperative that a full wave rectifier tests strong, a minimum 90% emission with matching sections[preferrably higher than 95%]. The tung sol 6L6's are surely just tired old pulls from a guitar amp. Don't even consider these in your chardonnay . ET....call home! [email me directly].
Today I´ve tried the iPod as a source connected to the Syrah and the amazing CAD 805C. The iPod is a surprising good litle machine, big sound, smooth, good bass...Really something special.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's to all of you Supratek owners and to everyone who participates and enjoys this thread. Have a wonderful New Year!

Right back at ya Tom. Thanks for starting this thread, and thanks for bringing this incredible product to everyone's attention. I have had my Chenin for about a month now, and every day I am amazed and transported by the music. I no longer listen to the gear. Bonus: it has to be one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen as well.
Same here! Same here!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

May you spend your holidays with your love ones!
