| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 @nwres thanks for the tip, I might give those a try. I’ve tried to avoid going down the 6SN7 tube rolling rabbit hole, but if I’m being honest it’s probably only a matter of time. And the MZ2 can use 6SN7 too..... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 I should clarify that I don’t think the Sachs is a particularly noisy unit; just that it is noisier than the MZ2, which is a supernaturally quiet preamp. Kind of the same dynamic to my comment about the bass - the Sachs bass is good, it’s just tha... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 I have both the Don Sachs and the MZ2; both of them are outstanding bargains, but they are really different. The MZ2 is on the cool side of neutral, amazingly quiet, startlingly lifelike, super resolving and incredible bass. It is quite unique sou... | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night Sounds like an amazing unit, congratulations to Aric. I would be curious how this compares to the Don Sachs linestage. | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Penguin Cafe Orchestra on Qobuz via 16f4's recommendation. Very interesting, I see they are often categorized as folk/neo-classical, and although I hear the references to minimalist classical (Reich, Glass, etc) I also se... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I love this thread. I often end up listening to selections you all post, and I enjoy making new discoveries.I would like to ask, if you're so inclined, if when you post something that isn't extremely well known to include maybe a one sentence des... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs Another vote for "God Only Knows"; I'd also add "Day After Day" by Badfinger. | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers So yesterday I ended up pulling the trigger on a Don Sachs model 2 - going to try that with the SIT-3 and see how it does! | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers @sonetduo haha, it's definitely a synergy thing... I am a big believer in the genius of Mr. Pass! | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers That explains it! I was confused. It seemed like @atmasphere might be talking to me, but I wasn't sure. I was jealous of the answer @sonetduo was getting! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Tore Brunborg - Slow Snow on Qobuz. Norwegian jazz - atmospheric, fuzz guitar laced, sometimes bordering on dissonant ambient."'Slow Snow' explores the shift between intimacy and detachment, tension and lightness, surreality and reality, utilizin... |
