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

Hello,

I've had the Syrah for about a year now and my favorite tubes are the Sylvania 6SN7W metal base, Tung Sol 5881, and Mullard GZ33. They all make a difference, most significantly in that order. Some people say the metal base sounds the same as the non-metal base but I disagree. It was a worthwhile improvement in my case. Does anyone have recommendations for replacement tubes in the phono section?

The other tube is a 6GK5 as part of the phono section.
