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

Did anyone ever suggest to you that you might be taking this thing a little too far? Ziplock bags as a tweak? My God man have some respect!

Ha! That's funny. You're right - I have taken this pretty far. The Supratek is so good stock but I thought that maybe, just maybe some of these tweaks would make it even better. So far, the Dynamat seems to help but the sand and zip lock bags are a little goofy. :)

Hi Guys,
Just thought I post a quick note-I have, at last, received a large box from Australia. I just finished redoing my Sistrum rack and have put in the Syrah. I popped in some Eva Cassidy and have been listening about 10 minutes. I will post my impressions later. But I think this is the real deal.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

Regards,
Patrick
