I've got a Don Sachs pre with the Spatial X-5's matched with a SS Amp and it's the perfect warmth addition IMO. I love 6SN7 tubes. I'd also look at the Modwright LS100. I do have a Don Sachs pre for sale as I bought a new one. He's also in Canada and has the X-5's as well.
Morgan that sounds like a great combo. I was looking to do something similar but I have a demo Octave V40se presently driving my M3’Sapphires. Unbelievable! Probably going to wind up with the V80se after all. It will be my first tube amp after 60years of listening.
XP12 is notably better than the 10 - much quieter.Replaced my 12 with a DOn Sachs. Back to tubes and really was shocked how good the Sachs is. The Xp12 is very good, but not a tube pre.
darn right, a tube with a good ss amp works. The VAC pre has a very good phono stage. So I can get rid of my separate MF ph stage. Another box gone ! I was wondering if I pair a set of X-5's with the Pass 250.5 ,,,, would that be to much for those efficient speakers ? Anyone know the waiting time on the Spatial speakers ?
what I was thinking is,, everybody has Pass Labs !! Big power and $$ . So many good SS amps I bet. The VAC will work with most with ease. Just thinking out loud. Not sure I need big Pass power ? Plus I really have never heard Class A ,, is it really the shit ?
