Congrats on your purchase of the Don Sachs preamp. I'm waiting on one myself--in fact, he's working on mine this week and may be ready to ship in a few more days.
Did you also buy his KT88 amp? I did, though it will be several more weeks before it is done, and therefore quite awhile before I can hear what kind of magic they make together. I figured, in for a penny, in for a pound.
As for the Supratek, I have owned two of them, the Syrah and the Chenin and truly enjoyed them both. In fact, I'd say that selling the Chenin is one of my few regrets in audio. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one, though I would not be keen on shipping it back to Australia if it needed repair. Mick was great to work with and may well have tech support in the US. I don't know, but would check if I were buying one.
This may well be a case where you can't go wrong. I certainly hope so anyway. Look forward to comparing notes on Don's preamp.
