| Don Sach's pre amp I ordered a pair of the Shuguang Black Treasure CV181z tubes to try out with the DS-2. The DS-2 needs over 100 hours of burn-in time for the capacitors chosen for the build anyway....so I will use them for the burn-in and see how they sound compar... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts If you feed it analog source material is it then Class D? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Wow, guys. I have zero desire to get any Class D amplification.....I don't like the sound compared to Class A or Class AB solid state amps. | |
| Don Sach's pre amp I tried them in a preamp and they didn't sound great.....I guess I will see as I have a paired ordered with my Don Sachs preamp. | |
| Don Sach's pre amp @wig In my tests, the NOS tubes walked all over the CV 181-Z. If these tubes were as great as you say, the NOS 6SN7 market would dry up in a New York minute.... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp @a-shah,I find that Yggdrasil sounds just a bit better through its XLR output. It's not a huge difference, but it is there. So I have ordered my DS 2 line stage with an XLR input. I will compare XLR and RCA in to see how the DS 2 sounds best in th... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Already done. The Bendix 5852 is fine in the Don Sachs line stage. It does take 30 seconds or so longer to warm up so you should turn the line stage on about a minute before the amp. | |
| Don Sach's pre amp @a_shah,Mine will be walnut as well.What rectifier tube have you been running? I am going to get a NOS Bendix 5852 to try.For the 6SN7 tubes, Don is real high on the CV181z tubes so I am getting a matched pair of those from him to try. I have abou... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp @a_shah,I am confident I am getting all the best stuff. I was just curious if you thought of something I did not. I am not getting a tape monitor switch or inputs/outputs. I am getting one set of XLR inputs. The output caps are 2uf for my Pioneer ... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp What upgrades are you getting done and why? I still have time to make changes to my order so I would like to hear what you are thinking! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'll trade you my Yggdrasil for your Directstream... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts If I were to get a tube amp, I would have to look real hard at this:http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/custom%20kt88%20tube%20amp.html | |
| Don Sach's pre amp I ordered a Don Sachs preamp! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 6SL7 tubes have more gain and higher output impedance if you need that but they are not as good sonically. They have more distortion. The 6SN7 tube is the better preamp tube.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks, @charles1dad for the preamp suggestions!!I can't wait to get it....but I have to!!! |
