| Don Sachs Owners Thread Here is the note that came with mine, from Don: "The left side pair is the main tube with all the gain, and the pair in the middle of the deck are the buffers, which are unity gain. Front tube in each pair is left ch, and rear tube is right chann... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread In my experience, yes. The center/input tube seemed to impact the sound as much as the gain tubes on the pre. I would run the nicest tubes you have in these positions. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Hi ptrck887, I am surprised you find the Linlai tubes hazy and unfocused. They are very transparent in my DS2 and throw a large soundstage/image well. I have only tried recent and current production tubes from Psvane, Shuguang and Linlai, and p... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread On this topic, what 6BY5 tubes are you all liking/preferring? I have a few different types but keep returning to the Sylvania and GE tubes. Cheers, Soren | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I asked Don a while back and was told one amp at the most. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread It's tight but all four LinLai tubes fit without adapters etc. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @danmar123 Yes - I have 4 LinLai tubes in my DS2. I prefer two pairs of these to using Psvane 181-Tii, globes or Shuguang WE61n7 in the buffer position. Cheers, Soren | |
| Sonus Faber speakers @celestial__sound Thanks for the note and insight. I had more or less written off the xa25, but may have to give it a try. Cheers, Soren | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @whitestix Thanks for the description of the Kootenay. It sounds like a wonderful amp and great complement to the DS2. You got me looking up Wells Audio. Their amps seem very well reviewed. Which model 'matches' the Kootenay in your setup? I ... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Just chiming in on the Linlai tubes. I run four of these in my DS2 and they are very quiet. They sound absolutely fantastic. To my taste they are better than the recent offerings from Shuguang and Psvane. With LinLais in place, I have no desir... | |
| Modifying PS Audio DirectStream DAC I am heading in the same direction with my DS DAC. Have you played with power cords on the external power supply vs the DAC itself? | |
| Sonus Faber speakers samzx12 It's an open living dining room, perhaps 50x50’ with tall ceilings, and connected with an adjacent space. It is hard not to be tempted by all the positive xa25 write-ups, but the it may run out of juice for this space. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers Slightly off topic. I am a happy owner of Nova IIs and drive them with a Pass Labs x150.5. I have thinking of upgrading to a Pass xa30.8 or xa25, but wonder if the xa25 would struggle with its rated 50w at 4ohm? | |
| Dynaudio Focus 110.....Integrated amp???? I have driven Contour 1.4s with a Musical Fidelity a308 for the past few years. In my setup, this combination has plenty of control, and a sound stage both wide and deep. The more muscle, the better the Dynaudios seem to perform. If you are fine w... | |
| Classe' ssp-800 Weak sub output? I don't have experience with the ssp800, but have an older Classe model. Here, the level of each channel can be customized in the setup menu. Could be similar on your newer unit. |
