| Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se? I looked hard at "changing" my preamp to either a Rogue or Ref 5 this spring. But the more I squeezed out of my Sachs D2 in sound with tubes, fuses, cables, etc., I changed my mind and am very happy with it. I like Rogues attitude and respect AR's... | |
| Coda or Parasound Monoblocks for Wilson Sabrina I had a Luxman M800A for a year or so and it was very good on my Sasha 1's. I did think it was a little soft or polite, as amps go. I now have a Coda 8 and after 33 or so amps in the last 15 years, this one is outstanding. Grips the music, has ze... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I have 1 hour on these tubes. Gain knobs make no change in hiss. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I cleaned all the tube pins with Deoxit and no change in hiss. Then I changed out the Stealth's for Gabriel Gold's and no change. After that I put my Shunguangs back in with the Indra's and all was quiet and enjoyable again. Tomorrow I'll send ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I also ordered a pair of the "black plates" from your recommended source. I am okay with hoarding tubes since I believe this Sachs is a keeper. Mated with my Coda 8, I am very happy. I also ordered a bunch or rectifier tubes including a rare 5852 ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes This is the inner box they come in: Blurry, but pins in new condition | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes New tubes from the dealer on Ebay and the pins are shiny new. I did not want to muck them up with the High Fidelity contact treatment. I could try the old standby solution, Deoxit. I'll send these to Dan so he can try them regardless. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes So I bore the loud hiss of those Linlai's last night just to see if they do sound "good" and I do see how nice they are. Very fleshy. I tried both my Sachs outputs and both have the same loud hiss. I'm wondering if the cables are influencing this... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I threw out this question on the Linlai thread. Has anyone tried the non-Elite versions? I ordered set anyways to "have". 😎 | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Is anyone running the non-Elite version of the Linlai 6SN7? | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Here are the physically smaller ODAM’s installed in the spaces previously occupied by the Mundorfs: | |

| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I did hear back and the sellers were closed due to Covid for a week. I am told they are sending me another pair. Stay tuned. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread The Wells is nice and quiet but more laid back and not aggressive in any way. It does not "take control" like my present Coda does. Wells is well-built and very elegant. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Inside plastic sleeves, in a custom box with cut foam to the exact shape. Very nicely done. Can't complain about the packaging for sure. We'll see what they say. I've got plenty of good tubes and the new Stealth Indras are performing admirably wit... |
