| Supratek Owners Thread Good idea @skypop . Wonder how long the umbilical cord is? Wouldn't want my linestage 2 ft. off the ground. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @firstgrowth good to hear. It is always nice when upgrades move the sound in the direction desired. What 6by5 rectifier tube did Don send with the update? Weiss makes great DACs. What were you using before? Please keep posting updates. Thanks f... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 You might also consider a Supratek preamp. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @firstgrowth that should improve sound quality quite a bit. Surprised it was finished so quickly. Hope you post updates on the sound improvement. It is always interesting to read about the changes. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray WOW! The Sylvania 6by5 rectifier is also 4" tall. Luckily the linestage has tubes on the top instead of in a box. Thanks for the measurements. Was going to space the Salamander rack shelves further apart anyway. @lowrider57 thanks for th... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray thanks for the break in info. Mine are on the way from China and will take time to arrive. Will update their progress as they break in. Previous Don Sachs Model 2 linestage owner set it up with two gray glass RCA VT 231, two Ken-Rad black... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Just ordered two for the Don Sachs Model 2 linestage. If they sound as good as expected, I’ll order two more for the remaining spots. Looking forward to hearing these. Does the size of the glass affect sound in any way? If a company puts their... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @firstgrowth good to know. Hope he doesn't over do it and stays healthy. Which upgrades are Don adding to your Model 2? Just saw a post by Jim McShane saying his tube/ Citation amp business was swamped. Don used to do his Citation restorations.... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Anyone using Linlai 6SN7 tubes in their preamp? Thinking about getting 2 as a trial. Need some back up tubes, and new would be a great addition to my nos. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Congratulations @skypop . This should be a big upgrade. You can spend some of the waiting time reading about tubes. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @jaynemo1962 , wow, 6 month wait. That is patience. Had a chance to buy the DS phono along with the DS2. I passed, perhaps stupidly. Couldn't see buying a matching component for something I hadn't even heard yet. Looking forward to your thoughts ... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Thank you @danmar123 . Don's site shows 4 matching tubes, which didn't provide orientation info. Mine are now correctly installed and the channels are more "balanced" sonically. Interestingly the Schiit Freya+, and I believe the Cary SLP 98 posit... | |
| Is there a Don Sachs owners thread? @rocray thank you. I did start the Don Sachs Owners thread. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread The Supratek has big advantages to those with multiple amps. My VTL is 125k input at 2v. The Pioneer Series 20 M-22 class A amp is 47k at 1 volt. I've had other components that run out of volume control. Is there a disadvantage to putting the larg... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jackd thanks. Bought the chrome model with gain controls. Don Sachs is in favor of deleting them, but I like the extra versatility of adjustable gain and balance, normally a Supratek advantage. Owner sent it to DS for updates, including the new r... |
