Has anyone here replaced the umbilical cable on the Chenin/Syrah with an upgraded one? The stock cable is not shielded, and I wonder if shielding might lower the noise floor some, since it is routed in close proximity to a lot of other equipment (especially my class D amps which have been known to emit RFI). Revelation Audio Labs sells a shielded cryoed silver cable that is supposed to be a big upgrade - anyone here have it? If so, could you describe the effects on your system?
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
