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

Do any of you guys have the LP Soular Energy by Ray Brown on Pure Audiophile label? I got it for Christmas. WOW! this thing will test the limits of your system. The LP sounds fantastic! Some of the bass notes from Browns bass shake the whole house! I do experience some mistracking because of all the energy on the LP.

I do! Have it since 2004. Great stuff especially "Cry Me A River".

Have not experienced any mistracking on my rig with this LP. Maybe you have some rumble issue or a case of mis-match compliance between the cart and the arm. Assuming that the arm, VTF, and tracking force are all set up correctly.

Since we are on this topic, may I suggest Ray Brown/Jimmy Rowles "Tasty". From Concord Jazz CJ-122. This is the only record I have so far that bottoms out my 4 x Peerless XLS subwoofer drivers even at moderate volume setting on the preamp. Talk about dynamics!
Sounds good guys,,i just ordered "Soular Energy" have not found "Tasty "yet! I heard a few samples of Ray Brown,,very good indeed!Thanks
