I use Chinese tubes and a GE tube on the line stage. On both the Don Sachs phono stage and the Hagerman trumpet MM phono stage, I am using amperex bugle boy tubes. Upon close listening, I slightly prefer the Haggerman over the D Sachs phono. I have not heard the MC trumpet. I am using the D Sachs Phono because it fits in my rack. There was not that much difference for me to build a new rack.
Anyone heard the Don Sachs Custom Tube Phono Stage?
I have Don's Line stage now for just a coupe of weeks and it sounds absolutely wonderful. I like it so much that I am considering trying his phono stage. Just wondering if any of you more learned audiophiles have had a chance to hear it and what you think of it and how it compares to well regarded phono stages.
Appreciate any input I can get from the community.
