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

Good to see so many people happy with the Syrah .I have been enjoying the Merlots 18 watts monos for the last 6 months and got the opportunity to try the Converts 45/2A3 monos .Well..they will not leave my house .45 is really special and goes pretty well with my 104 dbs speakers ...

I never heard the Burgundy amps but I am pretty familiar with the Merlots 18 watts and the Converts 45/2A3 monos ( not on Supratek website anymore) .The Merlots use the 6C33C-B russian tube (Lamm ,Tenor , Bat).Excellent amps with great bass , extension on top and liquid midrange .I sold them and got the Converts with the 45 tube .Less power and headroom but still ok with my 104 db speakers .Far more realism , cleaner and the magic of the 45 tube .I used a first generation Syrah preamp for a few days, didn't sound right in my system .
Speaking of russian tube , I just got back my Kora Eclipse with heavy mod (new diodes in PSU , Jupiter caps / Audiocap Theta / resistors/ silver wire ) and the 6h30 replaced the 6922.This tube is on steroids ! So dynamic and transparent . No need for those NOS 6922s and 6SN7s anymore ...
