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! It took me three days, but I actually made it through the whole thread. My eyes are burning! To be completely honest, I did skim through some of the stuff in the middle...

Anyhow, I did it. I put down my deposit on a Grange. It's going to replace a LAMM LP2 DELUXE phone stage and a KRELL 280P line preamp.

Now all that's left to do is sit back, turn up the tunes and wait... :)

I'd like to know where Larry get his information from. I've been speaking with Mick for the past couple of weeks, and haven't heard anything about him not personally building my Grange. In fact, it was quite obvious that he had a lot of work to do and was building units as fast as he could. Waiting times certainly aren't down. I see no evidence to support larry's claim. Spreading rumors without fact is poor form.
Larry, to change the topic somewhat - did you get a chance to use the Cabernet in your system? Since I've just ordered a Grange, which shares the same line stage, I'm really interested to hear your impressions. There have been a lot of people on this thread who have other Supratek products, but not too many who have commented on either the Cabernet or the Grange.
Is there any pricing yet on the KT88 amps? Or availability date? I have a deposit down on the Merlot amps right now.

Raytheprinter - what amp are you using now?
Woo hoo! It's finally coming. I got the email from Mick that my Grange is being shipping. It's been pretty tough to wait it out - but I'm finally joining the club!
