Hi styxtrekr for your Lightspeed Attenuator to work it's magic it likes to see amps that have an input impedance of >33kohms or more, that would be 99% of amps out there. Your source should be <1kohm (1000ohms) or less output impedance, again that would be 99% of sources out there. The interconnect from the Lightspeed Attenuator to the amp should be good quality low capacitance which most are, and 2mts or less in length. Cheers George |
No suggestions? OK what are you using? For the most transparent/dynamic/uncoloured way of hearing the source, I go direct, if the source has a digital domain volume control, and if the gain is right to allow me to use it at or above 75% of it’s full volume output, so no "bit stripping" is introduced. But if not I leave the source volume full up, and use the Lightspeed Attenuator. (my avatar) as my volume control. Cheers George |
I have used it with a Music Reference RM-10, VAC Auricle, Atma-Sphere S-30, and have heard it used with Coincident Frankenstein. As George said make sure the impedance requirements are met and use low capacitance cables. Personally the Music Reference Rm-10 and LSA is one of my favorite amp/preamp combinations. |
