| Is the Holo Titanis the same as the USBe Perfect? @koestner looks can be deceiving. The USBe perfect uses lots smaller smd parts. They are much harder to work with, probably almost impossible by hand. The USBe could be a much more complex circuit, but appear simpler because everything is so much... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Sorry, man's name above is Deyan. When I try to edit post above tablet goes crazy. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 the fellow that makes adapters is in this thread https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/page-6112 Scroll down until you see the picture of a similar shaped adapter. ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @bugredmachine what a bummer. I'd consider calling Don Sachs for guidance. The Linlai are so big that even staggered with 1 socket saver on left front and right rear the tubes were touching. Didn't notice this at first. The tubes weren't fitting c... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 . Had to stagger mine. Distance between front & back row is less than side to side. So I have left front and right rear on two socket savers each. That barely clears on my linestage. On another forum a man has offered to make custom... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @danmar123 my socket savers came from tubesandmoredotcom. Sku P-st8-1000. Item id 003356. They are black and 9.95ea. My older dual gain control linestage can't fit 4 Linlai with just two socket savers. The front & back rows are too close. Had ... | |

| Is the Holo Titanis the same as the USBe Perfect? No, they are different internally. See pics at Roon DIY community https://community.roonlabs.com/t/holo-audio-titanis-active-usb-processor/31220 And the USBE | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @danmar123 interesting. If you unhook the ground at the D. Sachs does the noise level or sound quality change? I'm only running a ground wire from the turntable to phono stage. What is the lowest input impedance anyone has happily used the DS ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Previous owner sent a Bendix with the DS. Played it a few weeks without any problems. Need to try it with the Linlai, after they break in. With the RCA and Ken-Rad VT 231 it was very, very punchy. The high frequencies were a little aggressive. Rem... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @bugredmachine good to know. Haven't tried any specialty fuses. What sonic benefits did you hear with the D. Sachs linestage? Just noticed the ground connector on the back. Anyone have it connected? If so, what component. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes At 100 hours the Linlai 6SN7 sound about the same, perhaps a little more open with tighter bass. I could live with this sound, without further improvement. I would take a little more midrange warmth and ambiance. But, they sound really nice at thi... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Sorry cleaning didn't work @bugredmachine . Will be interesting to see what @danmar123 finds. Wonder what can go wrong in a tube to make it so noisey? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @bugredmachine I agree it is hard to believe both tubes could be damaged in shipping the same way. Also hard to believe cables are going to make a huge difference, since they are working well with all the other tubes. I have seen reports on noise... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @lous thanks. Wouldn't the cap values be reversed? Lower input impedance needs higher cap value? Thanks, aldnorab |
