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

Hi Larry,

That is the number I called, but I just get a recording that the number cannot be connected. I tried calling the operator, but she was no help. She just said it was a good number.

Mondie, the Genalex KT-66 tubes are hard to get nowadays especially the smoke glass version. I got a matched pair (through a friend) for about three hundred bucks. They sound sweet and warm with powerful bass.

Kevin,

l am not sure what happened to the Grange, it must have disappeared only in the past few days. Its my understanding that the Grange utilised the same phono section as the Cortese. Mick has done a small redesign on the Cabernet, it now runs PX4's in place of the 101D's as shown in the pics. Not sure if that change has anything to do with the vanishing Grange.

l am sure he could build you a Grange if thats what you wanted.

Cheers

Tom,

l am not sure if the prefix (011) is the correct international prefix for calling from the US. If you have a phone where you can call + 61 8 9757 9786 then that may work. The number is right, spoke with Mick yesterday enquiring about when he may have a pair of loaner Merlots available. Sounds like l am in for a long wait :(

Thanks for the info on the KT-66's Kenji, l will have to keep an eye out for a pair.

Cheers

Hello Mondie, I had the correct number, but I think there is an international call block on my phone that I will have to get lifted.
