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

the Dodd AUdio DC-Battey powered Vacuum tube preamp is better than any $7k or under preamp I compared this to .Being run purely on 4 small gel cell batterys I get over 18 hours of use before I have to turn it off for a few hours to recharge which takes about 4 hours,being a direct feed to the amp it is a dead quiet background with far superior inner detailwithout all the power supplys and gain stages and noise to deal with.There is only 1 High quality capacitor to deal with in the signal path .I have owner a Cat ultimate signature , Conradjohnson
premier 17, this bettered it in allmost every aspect and at 1/2 the cost .This latest version is even better in the Bass now that all 4 batterys are run in series . The life span for batterys is about a 3 year average and only $65 to replace.
Hello Slowhand the Dodd is a linestage only ,and
because it is pure Dc coupled the Dynamics too are outstanding Hifidelityaudiogave me a money back guarantee
if I was not happy after 45 days which was plenty of time to run it in .I was serious when I said nothing in the $7k range or under topped it for overall naturalmness and musicality.
My freinds big Cary was over $8kand is no where near as clear.
The Dodd audio pure DC power preamp is so detailed and with a black background and no noise from AC to disrupt the signal, these 3 gel cell batterys you get over 16hrs from a charge and 3 hours to recharge and they last for at least 3-4 years .A great preamp and completely made in the U.S and Vacuum tubed with 2-6922, a beautfull curly maple.p.s all batterys now run in series ,the Bass is superb and with over 100amps available it is better than any pre at up to $7k I compared this to at $3500 a steal!
