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

have a new pair of EML 300B Mesh waiting for them

The EML's are my favorites tubes, on that preamp the EML 45 specifically, the 300B's for my taste is too much but it could be a personal preference. I haven't tried the TA's though or the Elrog's

Just be careful with the mesh I read and heard from so many sources that mesh plates pose more problems than standard solid plates

Congrats

 

I had a Cabernet Dual connected to my Atmasphere MA-1 and it was magical.

Sold the cab dual and got a Grange currently matched to a GFA 545, well it's a GFA with the Hoppes Brain circuit SS amp, and sounds great.

 

I have a Grange running Psvane 300B (supplied by Mick as stock) Black chrome, previously had a Cabernet dual, with the jarra wood?, I personally liked the cab dual finish better.

The grange is a great amp, very quiet noise wise.

I had a few issues during shipping like the trafo in the power supply getting loose, I had to tightened the central bolt that holds it (not too much since you can deform the top plate), and had to mount the actual pre on 4 isoacoustics as the stock rubber feet tend to be short on length.

 

Aside of that great pre, congrats @deutscherhififan hope you enjoy it

 

I got the EML 45 XL tubes and I kind of prefer the 45 over all other 300B I tried but the psvane is actually very decent

My only big regret of which I was aware of is not being able to use MM on it
