About the Custom Tube

The Don Sachs Custom Tube Phono Stage is a finely crafted tube phono preamplifier designed for audiophiles seeking superior sound quality. It features fully regulated and separate high voltage and DC filament supplies for each channel, resulting in stunning stereo separation and an exceptionally black background. The design includes multiple DIP switches for toggling various resistor and capacitor loadings to optimize cartridge compatibility. Constructed with premium parts such as Russian KBG oil capacitors on the outputs and Takman carbon film resistors in key locations, it ensures high fidelity and reliability. The unit is housed in a cherry wood case with aluminum front and rear panels, allowing easy access to controls and jacks. It supports two sets of input jacks with internal step-up transformers and offers a balanced, wide, and deep soundstage with a very balanced frequency response. The phono stage is highly regarded for its ability to reveal detail and musicality, making it a 'giant killer' in its class. It comes with a one-year warranty and is built to run reliably for many years.
