Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?

@audio123 Really looking forward to hearing the conclusion of the preamp comparison...  please do post the update.

Regarding the yeti 1400, no you don't need a solar panel to recharge it. That's simply an optional element of the power system that you can buy. It charges from the wall socket. And price-wise it should be somewhere around 16 or 17 hundred. 1600 would be a good deal. I think list is around 2,000. REI sells them for people who want to go camping and solar panels are handy that way. But the yeti is a good thing to have in case of a power outage. Because it can charge your cell phone or your keep your refrigerator running.

Thanks Markus for the info....going to look into to that item...keep in touch ...I like your Audio style and advice!!!...Peace

Gents,
Coming my way next week is Don Sachs' newest iteration of his preamp.  I had one of the first original preamps he made and it was and is fantastic.  His cap and wiring upgrades took it to even greater levels of performance.

His new preamp has has many enhancements and will come with the very fine WE6SN7plus 6SN7 tubes.  I could have lived with Don's original preamp very happily, but his new interaction of his preamp promises to be a significant SQ improvement.  Plus, now I will have a remote control.  As I have noted before, his KT88-based amplifier is similarly outstanding.   Retail price of the new preamp with the excellent tubes is under $3K.

I have been using the Psvane WE6SN7 and KT 88 Plus in my Sach Amp and Pre for over 3 months and are the best tubes I have ever owned/tried; better than many of my NOS variants...
