I think they are true works of art.
I can only second that. I don't think there is any better looking Audio equipment out there.
I haven't tried 45 tubes yet, although I would love to try some.
There isn't really a Super Y, although Don has been changing parts and doing improvement over the years in the Y. Don thought that mine is already using the best parts he can put into it. It has silver or rhodium RCA connections instead of the older gold ones; all silver wiring inside and upgraded resistors etc. Also, since mine even has the handpolished finish he suggested calling it a Super Y. The only thing Don can't upgrade is the potentiometer, since the narrow chassis design doesn't allow a deeper upgraded pot.
Also, I just dropped you an email with my email address etc...

While not a "Super Y" Don has a line stage preamp with a conventional chassis and a full function preamp. He sent me pricing and photos several months ago. I'm not sure but the line stage I think was around $1800 or so and the full function preamp maybe $2400 or so.I'm sure Don can provide photos and pricing.
Talking to Don, there is a new Fi full function in the works, that will be based on a multi-level chassis similar to the Fi WE421:
Also, 6 moons mentioned the new Pre in the writup about the WE421. The older Fi is based more on the conventional chassis similar to the 2A3 monos. The new one should be very interesting....

Recent communications with him indicate that the full function pre is still not quite ready....he's a busy guy. It will have provisions for both MM and MC. No pricing that I'm aware of, but I can imagine it will be quite a bit more than his current fare. I could be making this up, but I swear I read that his last full-function pre (the one used by A. Dudley at one time) was ~$4000 back in the 90's. I, too, await with great interest, and am likely to drop some coin when this one surfaces.Cheers
Hi Rene,Thanks so much. I have sent you one before I read this here. I appreciate your help. Thanks
Hi,
If you want the benefit of better bass and slightly lower noise from your tubes try Mapleshades Heavyfeet...incredible improvement!
