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

How many line inputs on the Supratek (either the Syrah or the Cortese)?

Alright! Who has this preamp,lives in NYC (preferably Manhattan) and would be interested in conducting a preamp shootout? I have a CAT SL-1 Ultimate and a First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II 4.0 with dual power supplies. Let me know what the rest of your system is and where you are located. I would also be interested in hearing the Lamm L-2 and the Emotive Audio Sira. Also, bring along your H-CAT P-12.

Hey Tim,

I'd prefer a one-round fight with all contenders in the ring slugging it out in the middle of the ring together, or dueling in the same corral, as I am mixing metaphors. Can anyone else supply some of the other preten..., uhhh contenders and the venue? If you want to know how the First Sound sounds vs. the CAT, Tim, I'll email you separately. Don't want to color anyone else's opinion here.
