| Tube preamp options Regarding Sachs: You’ll be happy, I am sure. I ended up buying his preamp like you, so many recommendations on Audiogon to my question. | |
| Tube preamp options I’ve tried 4 preamps with my current system (Krell 575 XD mono blocks, they’re excellent, and Wilson Benesch Endeavor), CJ, AR, Carter and Don Sachs. Nothing compared to Sachs, and he’s a good guy to work with. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? The Wilson Benesch Endeavor is the top on my list. It’s my forever speaker. | |
| Recommendations please! I second audioman58 when recommending Don Sachs. I run my preamp with PS Audio front end, Krell 575 XD monoblocks and Wilson Benesch Endeavor speakers. During a recent upgrade to my Sachs I used Audio Research and Carver as stand ins and found the... | |
| What the ship just happened? Regarding Don Sach’s packaging, I’ve sent several items his way and half of our correspondence is about the packaging. I can’t imagine him being negligent in any way when it comes to packaging. Too, he makes a fine preamp. | |

| Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. Don Sachs. I recently had it serviced, in the intervening weeks I substituted a Carver and Audio Research. No comparison. Also, great service and pride of workmanship. | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought My Krell 575 XD monoblocks are paired with Martin Logan’s 13a. In between is a tube preamp, Don Sachs. After adjusting (lessened) the ML’s rake the sound quality is everything I’d hoped for. | |
| Any love for newer Krell amps? I’ve owned Krell, and others, for thirty years. I can’t say enough good things about their customer service and sq, especially with the XD upgrade. Currently, I am pairing Krell 575 XD monoblocks with ML 13a, Don Sachs tube preamp and PS Audio as ... | |
| Dazed & Confused High amp. Exactly. | |
| Dazed & Confused I had a similar issue with my ML 13a. The problem was resolved by removing the rake (tilt). | |
| Advice on Krell amplifier I own the Krell 575 monoblocks, upgraded to XD. I can’t be happier with their new sound. Too, Krell’s customer service is amongst the best in the industry. | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr Further to my earlier post, one of the things that made my Martin Logans outstanding was reducing the rake. The tilt works fine when standing, but when sitting the bass was heavy and muddled the sound. | |
