| Tube Preamps..... Don Sachs | |
| Switch preamp? Thank you. When it dawned on me that this is my last system, the days of upgrades are a thing of the past, compromising was not in the cards. Fortunately, I don’t have annoying hums to contend with so a dedicated circuit board is unnecessary, alth... | |
| Switch preamp? Well, I finally have my Don Sachs preamp along with an entirely new system. What started as simply replacing KEF, Polk bridged speakers with Martin Logan 13a ended in a completely new system comprised of the Sachs preamp, PS Audio’s DAC and CD pla... | |
| Martin Logan speakers My ESL 13a complete my latest high end system (Krell 575 mono/ Audio Research and PS Audio) and I couldn’t be happier. The subwoofer and panel are seamless; whatever problem they may have had in the past is non existent. It does have a small sweet... | |
| What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year? I gifted myself Krell 575 mono. My wife gave me a CD. | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) I am so happy with Krell that I recently upgraded my 250s to their mono 575. Over 20 years ownership the 250 was matched with ss and tube preamps, and cone and electrostat speakers. | |
| Switch preamp? Jason, thank you. At the end of the day I couldn't part with my Krell KSA 250s. I spoke with Krell tech support and they said due to its age recapping is a must; +/- $1,000 plus shipping. At the end of the day it should sound far superior after 25... | |
| Led Zeppelin II Mine is STA: bombastic. The CDs and Tidal are preferable. | |
| Switch preamp? I didn't ask to audition, being that he's custom (I ordered all the upgrades) making it for me I figure it should be my risk. I'll keep you posted. Thanks. | |
| Led Zeppelin II I take it back. I am listening to it for the first time in years and it's lousy -- a case of distance making the heart grow fonder. | |
| Led Zeppelin II Don't know the 45 rpm. I have Atlantic's 1969 pressing and I can get by with it. | |
| Switch preamp? Artemus, I communicated with Don as suggested and just made a deposit on a preamp that should be ready in 12 weeks. | |
| Led Zeppelin II If money is no object, check better-records.com. I believe one of theirs sold for over $700. | |
| Switch preamp? Artemus, yes, a case of the perpetual audiophilosis with diminishing returns. I perused Sach's comprehensive website; compelling. I am going to give him a call. Thank you. | |
| Switch preamp? Yes, Erik, outside of the speakers the system is old and maybe it's time to bite the bullet and replace both the amp and preamp. Vegas, the manual makes no mention of altering the amp to accommodate tubes, although I would call Krell before instal... |
