  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

Hello Petland. Regarding the RCA 5u4gb rectifier suppled. It will work- however it is a "directly heated" full wave rectifier and not recommended.I would consult Mick with regards to using it, Indirecty heated rectifiers[recommended] will prevent cathode stripping of the other tubes in the line.The sylvania 5v4g that you mentioned is a good rectifier especially when used in conjunction with the early gt versions of the sylvania 6sn7's. I don't know why the guy would send you a 5u4g.Perhaps that was in error for the other 5932. Enjoy. Cheers David.
