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

Thamnosma - Mick builds his preamps with a mono switch if you ask for it. Or maybe you don't have to ask for it. I specifically stated that I didn't want a mono switch when I ordered my 2 preamps.

Hi,

Would anyone be interested in the Supratek Sauvignon. About 7 months old. Usually used for around 1 hour every two weeks or so. Jarrah with polished stainless steel finish. Absolutely mint condition with Remote, XLR Output and home theatre pass through and original 2 packing fed-ex containers.

Since being a new father, finding quiet time for listening to music is extremely rare.

Regards

I just received my Chenin and noticed that the manual says that that moving magnet cartridges are not recommended. I have a Clearaudio mm cartridge that I like. It has a 3.5 volt output. Does anyone use their Chenin with a mm cartridge?

Hello Mlkiz. I use a grado statement MM with my syrah, however, the output is only .5 mv. Do you have any gain stage flexibilty on your new chenin? I would hazard to guess the 3.5 mv into the riaa stage of the chenin may be a touch high. The only way to really figure this out is to try it and see how it works. All the best.
