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

Thanks Eccletique! And congrats Mondie & Slipknot1! The Genelex KT-66's are expensive! Since I already have a pair of NU 350B, I will stick to these tubes and unless anyone can tell me the NU 350B is no match for the Sylania 6F6g or Genelex KT-66.

Tubes that I have acquired so far (all NOS):

Mullar 5AR4 (small black base)
NU 350B
STC 6SN7GTY

Well, I'm still waiting for my Cabernet...

Hey Kenji. Na.... you better send those NU 350b's to me and I'll send you a fresh pair of 6f6g's. The 350b's are the undisputed heavyweight champions of all time. They float like a butterfly and sting like a bee! It just doesn't get any better! Enjoy!

I have been looking and looking and looking for everything this preamp seems to do. After spending about the life of this thread reading researching and wishing for the right components I have emailed Mick in hopes of procuring a Chenin for myself. I plan on upgrading my amp as well.
Any votes for favorite 300b SET to team up with this pre? As all accounts do tell i will have quite a wait to find one!
This has got to be the best testament for good ol' word of mouth.

Hi all,

l am so impressed with my Cabernet l am wondering what Micks power amps are like. Could they be as good, even half as good will do? l have started another thread here;

Hi Ecclectique, I got a pair of smoke glass Genalex KT-66 today. I just couldn't resist the opportunity even though the 350B's are the best. However, the Genelex is only half the price of the NU 350B's.

Cheers,
Kenji
