Hey all, I’m trying to decide between the two LS. I’ll be using the First watt SET-3 as my power amp. VPI prime with Lyra Delos cart. I listen to a lot of classic rock, classical and some jazz. Any suggestions?
Just ordered a DHT/6SN7 preamp from Mick at Supratek. Will be a couple of months. Damn, I have the audiophile disease real bad. I will soon have three more preamps than I need.
Just hooked up my DHT/6SN preamp. Listening thru the 300B tubes now. Not even warmed up straight out of the box it sounds good. It is larger than i thought with a separate power supply. Definitely a nice looking preamp. Have about 2 hours of listening on it. I have been listening to Don Sachs preamp.
Will report back after about 300 hours of play time. Gonna have to alternate with the 6SN output.
I like the 6SN7 clearly over the 300B output. The stock 6SN7 tubes are ok but the Linlai tubes are a huge upgrade. Definitely smoother, noticeably better low end and just more overall coherence. The preamp is paired with a Coda #16 sold state class A power amp. This setup is a match made in heaven. Superb, pristine sound.
