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 All
Long time Audiogon Member
I have been just sitting back taking in knowledge from all the GREAT Audiogon members. THANKS!!
I have a Mondeuse on order in chrome & black to match my Cortese.
I put money down back in March when Mick was updating my Cortese.
I heard from Mick around Dec 11th,he was having trouble getting the chrome transformer covers,I guess other wise my are just about done.
I will let you know when I recieve them.
Hello Slowhand
I heard from Mick last week.
He did some improvements on the Mondeuse & was waiting for some parts from the U.S.that he just recieved.
He was going to work on them this week.
Just knowing that the Mondeuse continuies to evolve and improve before the final release ..
Is a statement of Mick's high standards he has set for his products.
I will let you's know when I recieve them!
Hey guys
I recieved my Mondeuse last week,
They are Gorgeous!!
They sound great, dead quite I order mine in the Black & chrome(I believe that the one's on Mick web site are mine)
I'm sure glad Mick talked me into the Mondeuse,They are a work of art!! they topped my Plinius SA250 MKIV
I'm still trying to adjust the feedback with the damping factor to best fit my system,
even with the damping turned off it sounds GREAT.
The only draw back the binding post does not accept spades
just bannana or pins,thats a minor fix
even without my reference speaker cables on they are incredible
I order mine back in March of 2006.when Mick was upgrading my Cortese.
They were well worth the wait.
I will let you know more after I listen to them for a couple weeks
any question just ask I will do my best in answering them
If at all possible go with the Mondeuse they are the best!!

The Mondeuse sounds better ever time I listen to it!
It is a perfect match with my Cortese.
Mick hit a home run with The Mondeuse.
It will for sure become the Amp of the Century.
Mick & Kevin out did himself again!
