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

Wow....hearing so much good things about Supratek, I just could not resist trying to get a Supratek preamp for my system. I am looking to change my P8 into a tube preamp.
I have narrowed my choices to the following:
Blue Circle BC3000
Modwright LS36.5
Supratek.....Sauvignon or Carbernet Single

Currently my system comprised the following:
Nuforce 9.02SE (waiting to upgrade to V2)
Nuforce P8 preamp
CEC 1X
Northstar 24/192 DAC
Fremont Escalante (too bad it does not allow biamp)

What woud you guys suggest? Cabernet Single or Sauvignon. Would you guys suggest to also upgrade the caps to V-cap?

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for helping out.

I think I will go along with cabernet single since Grange is really way above my budget.

Hope you guys can further help me out here. Besides upgrading the caps to V-cap, are there anything further upgrades/decision to tell Mike when placing the order?

Thanks Guys!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Sixmoons has proclaimed that Cabernet Dual is the more advanced compared to Modwright LS 36.5 as follows:

"Comparing American and Australian machines on equal 6H30 footing, it's a very close call except for that raw gain (the Supratek also uses 6SN7s in the circuit) which adds body and density for the Cabernet's ledger. Move the 101Ds into the picture and the Dual pulls its 'unfair' advantage to become truly unique in this category."

I only wonder if Carbernet Single can hold against Modwright
LS 36.5
