| Need a DAC Recommendation. The tube in the Border Patrol is part of the power supply, not the audio signal path.The border patrol has a tube rectifier, so you are correct. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) New: Audible Illusions M3BDoes this preamp burn through tubes fast like the older model audible illusions preamp did? | |
| Tube buffer in tape loop@ If the buffer makes listening more enjoyable then why not. | |
| Can the Same Brand Power Tubes Have a Different Sound When Bought From Different Vendors? No USA and UK production tubes for decades! Same for Western EuropeThere are new high quality tubes being made in Europe from a manufacturer called ELROG. | |

| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) A winning circuit design will sound better with cheap parts than a average circuit design with top notch parts. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Since you mention Don, his preamp would be a contender at far below 5K.It is definitely worth the money, but I don't believe it would compete with the higher end model space tech labs stuff. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Don SachsDon Sachs used to own one of space tech labs preamps, I believe it was the last preamp he sold after he started making his own, he only had one of the middle of the road space tech preamps. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) BIG valve preamps are gonna be 'ALL THAT" soon enough..The big valves are only part of it, he uses ac heaters, which sounds a little warmer, but not too warm, and true point to point wiring. Some manufacturers use hand wiring, but not true point t... |
