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

Chevlam,

How did you get in touch with Mick? I tried the phone numbers on the website and one is disconnected, the other goes to a builder.

Hi Chevlam,

Mick dropped off my new Chenin on Monday when he came up to Perth.

He emailed me the manual last night, so I'll send it to you.

I had a chat with Mick when he dropped off my Chenin. He said that he's not back in business, but is making the odd preamp with remaining stock to 'keep his hand in the game'.

I contacted him at a time when he was just finishing off a Chenin, so got lucky.

You can still contact him, but you'll have to ask if he's willing to make one. He indicated that his building preference was for the higher level preamps.
