| Don Sachs Owners Thread I’ll have to check out the 6H8C and try some time. I’m really liking these Ken Rads. The 7N7 Sylvania I’m still trying to figure out if I like the Shuguang more in the output. The Sylvania seem the be neutral or what I call transparent since... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread @ptrck887 I just went through the tube roll exercise. I got my DS with 4 Shuguang and a Sylvania 6X5gt rectifier. I asked an old audiophile friend some tube recommendations since we have similar tastes for our system. Top recommendation wa... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I’ve had Roy’s power cord cooking since last Thurs. It has tamed the forwardness with the cheap computer cord the prev owner provided. Brent Jesse returns from his holiday break 1/9. I may contact him about the Kend Rad or RCA short glass. ... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Anyone rolled the rectifier? My version uses the 6x5gt and came with JAN Sylvania 6x5gt/vt-126b. I know newer versions use a different rectifier but Mr. Sachs doesn’t do upgrades anymore due to being semi-retired. He explained to me he will f... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I was able to purchase a replacement remote from Roy. I am thankful for his outstanding customer service. I may have a Don Sachs pre but he was willing to help out on diagnose. I also purchases one of his power cords which helped tame the sligh... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Input tube question. What I want is a more middle to front presentation. Currently, I feel like I’m standing right up against the stage in a concert. The Shuguangs sounds really good paired with the 6201 Sylvania GOld Brand in my Lector DAC. I tr... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Just want to say that both Don and Roy provide wonderful customer service with their helpfulness and insight. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Is the “H” the same as the HiFI 6sn7? The HiFi are about $40 and not sure if they are even worth it | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I tried the unplug suggestion in hopes something would reset. Left it unplugged over night and no dice. I sent an email to Roy if he has any suggestions while I wait for Don to reply to my remote and upgrade questions. Fingers crossed this c... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Someone suggested unplugging, wait a few minutes and plug back in. Hoping that resets the Khozmo so the remote starts working again | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I sent an email to Don asking about upgrades and my remote. My remote stopped working and thought it was dead batteries. Replaced them and still don’t work. In my music listening excitement, I got startled how good the vocals and emotions that was... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Phew, I read all 15 pages. I am interested to hear how this compares to the Shunguang in my DS-2 but am sure these will fit. My tubes aren’t exposed and would have cut holes due to the socket savers. Maybe I’ll try the hi-fi version one day si... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I’m unsure how many hours the DS has. The prev owner didn’t provide much info on the questions I was asking. Just that there weren’t any issues. For the price, I got it, I was taking a bit of gamble. Especially since he wanted to do COD which I... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Very kind of you. If I can’t source any, I’ll be sure to reach out to you. I’m on my 3rd hour and an improvement just happened where soundstage detail in the back got clearer. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I definitely will ask him @lous when I get the power cord. I also need ask him for a screw and wrench for one of the knobs. One of them fell off and noticed it was missing the screw. Prior owner didn’t mention this but this is a very easy fix. ... |
