Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition

Here’s an interesting read for you good folks on the Don Sachs/Supratec fences. But you need to read the whole thing to see what the OP ended up buying and why.

Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?

And here’s a pre amp for those on a budget or you want to get something to hold you over until you get that one. It also comes with a plethora of dac inputs that some preamps lack and costs as little as a good pair of interconnects.

@oddiofyl  yes well originally Don's preamp was the end game. So I feel like I'll wait and see if that happens, the question is what to do in the meantime. Gotta be better than waiting on Decware haha

@oddiofyl  I am also considering Supratek as it has adjustable gain and the Sachs has even more than my current (16db which is way too much).

I do not miss tubes at all ( this is just me ). My gear is on 24 / 7, and at full volume w / o signal, not a peep out of my 104 db speakers ( no hiss, no hum ), and I am ready to go, anytime. I have plenty of gain, as I could never imagine reaching the max level from my Luminous ( this is likely due to my speakers ). Enjoy !
