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

Mc5baby,
That is good news! Glad to hear that you are good to go. Make sure you get out and expose your skin to sunlight every so often. I've had my Chenin for 5 months and the honeymoon is still going strong. I've just now started rolling tubes, starting with some NOS grey glass 6SN7's...

Raytheprinter,

Yes.......I know! You have to own one to understand isn't it? Wait 'til you roll them tubes (start at the rectifier if possible). Enjoy the ride!

I have a question. Have any of you guys ever had Mick put a switch on you preamps that allows it to invert phase? With so many LP's recorded out of phase, seems like a good thing to have.

....or use a speaker selector switch.....one set wired as in-phase, another set wired as out-of-phase and so on....
