Jtgofish, so, has adhesive technology come a long way since the 90s as well?
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

Mick uses an expensive variety of Sika-Flex, a long lasting temperature resistant polyurethane cement/sealant. Like the Selleys gutter sealants its designed to last 25yrs+. He once told me besides the convenience of it, it also has good damping properties and stops the caps rattling and vibrating against the metal chassis. Regards, Steve M. |
has anybody seen this site: http://www.mentalpixel.com/supratek/index.html it's copyrighted 2007. the front page looks decent, but the rest of the site looks like somebody had no idea what they were doing. anywho, does anybody know who manufacturers the supratek remotes? i'm trying to get the hex codes for it so i can program my squeezebox remote to control the volume of my dual cabernet. |
Yes, I have seen. Metalpixel is just an advertisement company. Go to the original website of supratek. Arkio, my Chandonney is being couriered today. For almost 10 years I did not change my Classe Amp or Preamp but discovered the missing element (which I always knew missing but can't quite put my finger on it) when I tried a blue circle preamp except the bass was not right. Please don't ask me to define "right". If you been to live music (not the loud or open air type) or orchestras often you can tell the diff. So keeping my fingers crossed Supratek will finally give me the sound I want. |
