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

Anybody have any idea how long a NOS Mullard GZ34 will last in a Chardonnay?

Ivarmorten,
A good long time for a early production GZ-34,years as a matter of fact.

One thing,don't switch your preamp and system on for a short period of time then shut it down.
This will shorten the life of your tubes.
Plan on listening for a while.

Hi Abe,
Sorry ,I ment to get back sooner,forgot...Age

The Cunningham 45s did not test well at all,however I do have apair of RCA 45 Radiotron black plates later vintage that are used though test fine. Is $20.00 each too much?

Crazy thing I have a dozen or so 1920s vintage 201A and 301a Cunninghams that came with the bunch that all but one test great.
I ment to ask you ,how does your Haggerman phonostage compare to your Chenin?
