My neighbors own both the microzotl and the Sachs. We are able to A/B and often do. I can say with certainly both are wonderful sounding pre amps. The Sachs sounds bigger and exhibits more of a tube flavor but in the most natural way. The LTA offers all the beautiful layering that tubes provide but with a blacker background. If you are looking to make your stereo sound bigger, maybe slightly warmer, I’d say the Sachs. If you are looking for a slightly more neutral sound perhaps the LTA. Again, I don’t think you can lose with any of them. I have not hear either with Pass 😔
Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp?
A request for recommendations by those with experience with different 6SN7 tubes.
My system so far is a Pass Labs XA25 SS Amp, and a circa 1988 Tannoy FSMs.
The speakers operate at 4 ohms with a 94 sensitivity.
The room size is medium. Acoustically well treated.
I listen at lower volumes 60-75db. Vocals mostly.
I am looking for the most musical preamp, with a remote.
Budget is $3k. Used preferred. Better value.
Not considering anything from Schiit Audio.
Considering- Supratek Chardonnay.
Any other suggestions?
Tube Ideas?
Thank you!
