And my speaker system features a Lightspeed Attenuator. Thank you George aka @georgehifi !

Your TAD 2404 speakers are gorgeous! You'll have to post updated photos with your Enigma Supertweeters and the Denafrips Terminator in system.

Hi David, Many thanks. I would be happy to be buried with them! I do indeed need to update my photos. However, I am not using either of my two sets of CDT-3 / Terminator in my TAD system due to space constraints. I must one day connect one set up on a temporary basis.

Hi bluewolf, had a look at your very nice system in your bio, and can't see where your using my Lightspeed Attenuator, this would be the 3rd set of Pioneer Tad's it's being used with that I know, have you done some changes to it and not updated your pic?

Hi George,

I am using your very nice Lightspeed in my Rey Audio Kinoshita speaker system, not in the TAD 2404 analog system where I am using an Acoustical Systems Omnigon Phono Preamp. I do need to get around to putting up my digital system in Virtual Systems. There is a photo which includes the Lightspeed in the same review which I also posted on head-fi as 1note in the Dedicated Source Components forum.

Cheers

Hi George, @georgehifi

Thanks for your kind words on my system and review. And thank you for the excellent Lightspeed Attenuator.

My understanding is that the Acoustical Systems battery amps never went into production and there were only a handful of pairs made. I guess the company wants to concentrate on analog front-end components and phono preamps. I was told that their input impedance is 100k ohms and that there is only one MOSFET per mono amp. Your Lightspeed Attenuator is sounding very nice feeding these amps. I very much appreciate that the Lightspeed is outstanding value for money, and so I understand the reason for the wall wart PS that is supplied. My My next point is in no way intended to be a criticism given the outstanding value proposition that the Lightspeed is, but rather the opposite as to what an excellent design the Lightspeed is. I would like to note that it scaled up beautifully with the custom silver wired power supply unit I managed to get for it.

All the best!
