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

Tubegroover, you won't regret it. If it were double the price I would do it again.

Somebody posted in the wanted section (no screen names allowed) that they wanted to buy a Supratek. It was posted from Washington, DC. If that person is reading this thread thought I would let you know I live in Northern Virginia and although there's no chance I'm selling, you are welcome to stop by and have a listen. Email me.
Regards,
Patrick

p.s. tube rolling experience is welcome over at the Yahoo group Fiddler started for Supratek owners. Scroll up for the link.

Patrick, I'm the guy from DC, and I've gone ahead and put an order in for a new Syrah. Guess I should take that "wanted" down... especially since I'm now committed to waiting! I figure it'll be worth whatever little improvements Mick has made over the months.

Can someone tell me what the tube compliment is in the Syrah? On Mick's site, it says 417/5842 for the phono, then 6SN7 and 5881. Even if there is two of each (which I'm assuming there is), the picture has *8 tubes*, not 6. What is the other tube pair?

thanks...

The other tube is a 6GK5 as part of the phono section.
