I ordered the Don Sachs phono with custom upgrades.
Very sweet Nick! Can't wait to hear your comments about it.
What tubes does it use? Sach's typical 6SN7s are probably not enough gain?
Hi Rich,
It took a liitle while to find the invoice, but here's the upgrade info:
Upgrade to Genelex Gold Lion reissue 6922s. He is charging only for the difference between the cost of the Gold Lions vs the stock EH 6922s.
Upgrade to Mundorf Supreme silver oil output capacitors.
Upgrade to all film cap power supply.
Upgrade to black front and rear panels with gold lettering. This is a little touch that I appreciate Don doing. It'll match my Basis Ovation TT and Graham arm.
I was very, very close to buying a used LFD phono, but thought it was a bit overpriced. Looked into used Herron and K & K phonos. Keith called me back, but it didn't work out. Never heard back from Kevin. All in all, I have a hunch this is going to be an excellent unit.
Can't say I'm looking forward to setting up the cartridge, though. I've only done it once and that was 14-15 years ago
Nick
