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

Hi Guys,
Just thought I post a quick note-I have, at last, received a large box from Australia. I just finished redoing my Sistrum rack and have put in the Syrah. I popped in some Eva Cassidy and have been listening about 10 minutes. I will post my impressions later. But I think this is the real deal.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

Regards,
Patrick

I've been following all the postings on the Mick's gear and haven't wanted to ad anything until now. I am expecting delivery anyday of my Cortese. Tonight I will be praying for delivery tomorrow-weekend coming and you know what I'd rather be doing! My friend has a Cortese and it has so greatly transformed his system into what many feel is a magnificent music producing machine. I just hope that my unit will do half for me what his is doing for him.

I'm doubly anxious to get my Syrah because I am almost finished making my Teres 135 turntable (my first turntable) and I need the Syrah phono stage to try it out. This is my first plunge into vinyl - I had originally ordered a Chardonnay but with all the talk about how grea the phono stage is, I just had to try the move to vinyl.
