| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes For what it’s worth, in my Don Sachs preamp I have found the ultimate combo to be a pair of the Linlai e-6SN7s on the left (main input) and a pair of the Linlai Hifi 6SN7s on the right (buffer). The full quad of e-6SN7s was great, but slightly clo... | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods Honestly if the only mod you do is swap in the Vcap ODAMS, you will have significantly upgraded the unit. They really are outstanding. I have modded them into my preamp and my speaker crossovers... However it sounds like a bit challenging to remov... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? My Schiit Aegir has won the day in multiple battles against seemingly sure victors, including Pass XA30.8, Van Alstine M225s… I learned there’s a reason the Aegir is on the Stereophile Class A recommendation list, and it’s not for “savin ya a doll... | |

| Looking for a tube preamp with remote control. The Don Sachs preamp is outstanding. I’ve had mine for nearly a year and it’s really tremendous. | |
| Ice Age Audio Cables Q & A I first heard about Ice Age Audio from Don Sachs. I had purchased his (legendary) tube preamp and he recommended I order a copper/copper power cable from Rick at Ice Age. I had not gotten on the audiophile power cable bandwagon at that point and w... | |
| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. Yeah eBay is fine for buying things as far as I’m concerned. But between the fees and the risk of being hosed by a scam buyer, it’s not worth it to me to sell on eBay anymore, and I have sold hundreds of items there over the last couple of decades. | |
