positron,

It is good to see you here. I still own one of your SAS Audio Labs 11A preamp. One of these years I must get the upgrade for the power supply. As you know Yahoo Groups were eliminated. Your SAS Audio Labs group was gone as a result. Did you by any chance make a copy of all the posts? It would have been nice to keep all that info.
Hi Smartt, Good to hear from you! I sure appreciate the confidence you have in my 11A as well.

I also wish I could have kept the forum, and one mistake I made was I forgot to copy the posts. It just slipped my mind.

As you know, when I started in the audio field some 40 years ago, I started from absolute scratch, without any preconceived ideas. I hope to benefit our friends with R&D based upon actual specialized listening tests and measurements when necessary.

Cheers

positron,

Your forum was a big loss, not to be able to read it. You are retired but please tell us about your V interconnect cable which is the only item you still make. Also tell us about your Schiit Audio upgraded Modi 2 mods. Do the mods also apply to the new Modi 3 plus? Since you retired SAS Audio Labs website is gone. I used the Wayback Machine to see the website. Although not for sale you had an idea for a new tube preamp. How is that project going? positron was and will always be a serious no compromise audiophile, a big bang for the buck product. Too bad he is retired.

Very briefly, the "V" ic is non-shielded, 39pf/meter, and uses minimum 6n pure copper wire (99.9999%). Used from pre to low gain amp.

The Modi 2 has upgraded power supply filter and output capacitors. When tested matched Monarchy 24 tube DAC, bettered the standard Border Patrol, Denafrips Aris 2 DACs. Just slightly less spacial width than the $4k Lampizator dac. I have never investigated the Modi 3, so cannot comment.

In general, everything is important whether designing/upgrading a source, ic, pre, amp, speakers. Even speaker wire inductance and total gauge is critical to performance, especially in cone type speakers.

I hope I have not broken any rules. Please delete if I have.

Hi, As Moderator, I don't see anything that would require that as the questions and answers are generally in the realm of diy and of some value to diy prone individuals. Wayne naturally could over rule that but it is my opinion.

Good Listening

Thanks Go. I felt Smartt was ok, but being rather new, I just wanted to make sure I did not over reply and be out of bounds.

Cheers
