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

You don't speak for me, Wc65mustang.

Do you own a Supratek TVAD? I didn't think so. Unless you have something more meaningful and pertinent to the Supratek discussion your comments are devoid of substance and merit.

Wc65mustang, thank you for your opinion.

I am interested in Supratek products. Can you share some of your experience in comparison with other preamps you have owned, i.e. the Aesthetix Rhea? What other components are in your system?

The Grange digs much deeper into the music than the Rhea. In addition to Mundorf caps, I've rolled all of the tubes in the preamp and its' power supply. It is the finest piece of audio gear I've owned and/or heard in 40+ years.

Other components, Nottingham Space Deck, Hadcock 242 Silver, Zyx Airy 3 LO SB, Extremephono Limited Edition Phono Cable, Oracle CD-1000, Reimyo DAP-777, Stealth Sextet, Canary CA-339 mono blocks, Silverline Grande La Folia, Zu Varial, and Zu Ibis.

I hope that helps.

Nice system, Wc65mustang. For you to say the Grange rates higher than any other peice of gear in your system is saying quite a lot.

Could you please elaborate on the comment that the Grange "digs deeper" into the music. How does the tonal balance compare to the Rhea. Is one more neutral than the other?

Do you use any power conditioning or aftermarket power cords? If so, which one on the Grange?

Also, do you use any isolation products...especially on your Grange and analog source?
