I contacted Mick and asked for a replacement black unit, holding on to this one in the meantime. No response yet and god knows how long that will take. The good news is that sound is not impacted at all and the preamp functions as intended.
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

juanmanuelfangioii,
Thats why I was encouraging deutscherhififan to hold out for the black/chrome. It's two separate chassis that are larger than the photo eludes too. |
There is a good chance that two shipping labels got mixed up and we may soon know who belongs to the unit in your possession and they have yours. Also 12 hour time difference so Mick doesn't usually see US e-mails until much later in the day for us. Also his US tech is a member here who participates in the other Supratek thread. |
