Also, just checked my pre's height and it looks to be under 8" tall with tubes (and some vibration control).  A little hard to check inside the cabinet.

Has anyone tried Grant Fidelity's Treasure Globe 6SN7-SE?

Maybe ask Don Sachs if he's tried them?

for the record the circuit used in the SP-14 is a direct copy of John Broskie‘s Aikido as published in the Tubecad Journal. This circuit has since been used by Don Allen. No credit has been given to Mr Broskie for using his design by either constructor.

Pesky_Rabbit,

From a derivative stand point, Don Sachs has acknowledged that the inspiration for his preamp came from Roy Mottram's SP-14 preamp. Indeed, Roy mentions Don in his website so their relationship is very solid.  http://www.tubes4hifi.com/SP14.ht   Frankly, 90% of front end gear is a derivative design from earlier designs.

Don currently is a devotee of these 6SN7 tubes: Linlai E-6sn7 tubes.  I just ordered a quad of them. The quad cost ~$375 plus $55 for shipping from China.
