Hello gang. Fiddler... thanks for the heads up, as I doubt I put anymore than 20 hours of seat time with the EH6sn7's in the syrah.I will certainly run them in again as I do like their tonal balance. DOC... You mentioned a little hum at very high gain in the phono stage. Hum, as opposed to tube rush or tube noise is generally a grounding issue somewhere between the cartridge/arm and cable interface to the phono stage. A 60hz buzz that piggybacks the signal from your cartridge and sometimes can be a pain in the butt to get rid of.
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
