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

To Ecclectique!!!!

Can the 6V6 (Kenrad VT-107 I think with metal body) be a replacement of the 6L6/5881 tubes?

Thanks!

Well this is rich. Now Audiogoners are giving reviews talking about the subtle differences in sound between preamps they have never heard because of "vicarious experiences" they have had as a result of reading this thread!!!

Hello Abe. The 6v6 is a beam tetrode similiar to the 6F6 and will work as regulators in the supratek syrah, however, I doubt it will sound better than a 6l6, my experience with any of the metal tube types has always been a disappointment. The early 6L6's and 6F6's were metal tubes as well.Give them a try and see what you think.
