Don Sach's pre amp

porscheracer,

Smart move!  Don's KT88 just arrived but I still have 4-6 weeks left for my preamp to be built.  Everyone I've spoken with that owns his equipment raves about the sound.  Speaking with Don sealed the deal for me.  

Congrats!

@porscheracer
Congrats ! you will like it , the pre-amp continues to delight me ! very happy with it , will be sending it back to Don for Certain upgrades , but even without those upgrades it sounds wonderful with my SS Amplifier

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!

@porscheracer.   Best you talk to Don about it , in my case since I had purchased it from a AudioCircle member the unit was a year old  although it had all the Bells & whistles.  Don  recommended, that he could upgrade the power supply caps to better ones that he uses now and extra  output 3.3 uf Capacitors for my Odyssey SS (to get better bass) amplifier and change some of the board and input wiring to Dueland & Neotech to bring the unit up to date with his latest thinking , for me it was cost effective to do that , So I decided to go for it , in your case you probably will have his current Standard for the unit.
I can tell you one thing you wont regret it , I just love the unit !

@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 M-22 SS amp. Don wants me to use AudioCap Thetas bypassed by Russian Teflon caps. He says these take 100 hours of burn-in to sound right and he likes them better than Jupiters and as well or better than the Dueland when they do.

I hope he finishes it early because I can't wait to get it and burn it in!
