| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Markus - based on many reviews on both the Sachs and Supratek I believe you’re going to be happy one way or another. I’ve experimented with many high quality preamps with different tube configurations, and to me the 6sN7 is king, and not by a smal... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Like others my go to has been the bulletproof EML and previous to that I did use the Sofia RP, they sounded great like others have reported one can fail prematurely and leave you with a chalange finding a match.I see the Elrog’s are still for sal... | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Given my passion in tube based Preamps, I've observed we get consistently good reports by respected contributors here that Ear, Shindo, Allnic, Backert, Vac, VTL, Aethetix, Hovland, and ARC are terrific choices. Personally I’ve got a soft spot for... | |
| CD no more produced? Motörhead - like you I deal with Elusive Disk, however they are in Anderson Indiana (near Indianapolis).Thrilft store are a good source if you have time to sift through, otherwise the industry has just about completed morphing to the online model.... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable +1 Millercarbon, will said and on point. +1 Has2be ditto. Lew, if Larry isn’t open minded to new points of view that are experianced based, and on facts, he’s not going to maximize enjoyment of this hobby and the great knowledge this community has... | |

| Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ?? A lot of good suggestions above. One thing, where you said this...Separate quality Power supply, Dual Mono setup, Quality components. Remotes (except EAR)Are you saying you want reco’s with these attributes? Would we assume no Phono ever? For now ... | |

| Tube Preamps..... I would concur with recomondarions on preamps based with 6SN7 tubes. There is something special about this tube type, and there is (relatively speaking) a great selection of old tubes that you can roll with terrific sonic changes. Something SS wil... | |
| Herron 1A,, Herron 2A, Modwright LS100 or Aesthetix Calypso? What when I've heard Aesthetix and Herron side by side I've liked the Herron way better. I will also echo the sediments about Keith Herron, he's a gem. It's well documented that the Aesthixs are fussy on tubes, and have a high tube count. This mak... | |
| Your Nominations: Top Phono Stages under $1,000 By all accounts a used Sutherland, Tom Evans Microgroove would be worthy of your consideration. There's also the EAR 834p that depending on the version/vintage will sell below your maximum. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Nordicnorm - like you I had a Doge, inky black line stage, great dynamics and separation of players on the soundstage. What I couldn't appreciate was it seamed like the midrange was turned down as a tone control might do. Further in owning other ... | |

| NOS Western Electric 101D "tennis ball" tube I went down this path as I had a line on a matched pair of ANOS available for $600. Before I pulled the trigger I called Israel, he was adamant that was a bad move as the CLS designed to work best with the specs of the modern variants of the 101d,... |
