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

Great review, do you hear any hiss from the pre amp ? 
Is it good on lower volume and is the volume knob of good quality?
Thanks.

Thanks Markus! I will probably order the Chardonnay pre later this year, will probably pair it with Usher R1.5
May be stupid thinking on my hand, but I wish that the Supratek gear had a nicer remote, of aluminum or maybe wood.
Do you play any digital trough the Supratek, or only records ?

How would you describe the Supratek sound ?
Dark, big/bold clean, warmish ? or any other words you would like to describe the sound, is it fast sounding, does it have good rhythm and a black background ? Is the timbre and decay of instruments truthful  ?
