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.

Bob, not to hijack my thread, but what tubes do you use with the D Sachs line stage?

@bobsdevices  Would you be willing to mention the strengths and weaknesses of the Don Sachs and the Trumpet MC?
I am looking at both (admittedly on MM right now) and wonder what the strengths of each are.

No, but I heard the Harry Sachs.  A nod to Beavis and Butthead.

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.
