Charles, I agree. The system matching game is where real skill (and time) is needed. That is what makes the Coincident/Audionote/Shindo whole system approach so appealing.As I stated above, I know someone who owns my speakers and adores the Viva g...

Based on his speakers, TRL tube amplification would be my choice. As for accuracy, that is a loaded term, and one that is not always synonymous with SETs. This is honestly a matter of taste at this point. Audio cooking....ciao.

Tellefsen, its a nice dilemma to have. I have heard your speakers in the distant past, and from sonic memory, they were fairly neutral. If your sonic bias is already titled towards tubes, a switch to SS may not be wise. Another phile who owns my s...

Branislav, there used to be an owner in Dallas. That was the only dude I knew about.

Good news Bob. The Gammas are very good speakers that reveal the quality of what's upstream. A friend of mine has the Neodio DAC/CDP and is very taken with it. Lot of $$$ though....Happy listening.... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Not helping anyone at this point Tony. Just curious. Do you have any current or planned business relationship with George? Teajay asked that of Paul above and it is logical to ask the same of you. I know you are now attempting to design and sell t... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
That is an interesting experiment Tony. I wonder what the technical explanation would be for that finding? It does not make sense. Can anyone else describe their experiences with the LSA and SS amplification? I am still wondering the flat sound st... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Thanks Al. Your elucidation of the "diode effect" was helpful and confirmed some of my suspicions."All active circuits produce distortion/colouration whether they have no gain or unity gain." Can you be more specific? And what about amps? Do I nee... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
George, is the diode effect measureable? What does it do of rather what does it distort?Paul asked the million dollar question above: what are the effects of gain? Does it produce distortion?I did try the LSA with a SS amp (TRL Samsons) with 68K i... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Paul, I agree with all of that. Speakers and room are easy breezy. I also readily admit the the blinded A/B thing is hardly scientific in my hands as I have no dedicated switching device, etc. Most posturing on my part. lol. It was very "scientifi... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
This thread has taken an amusing turn. Teajay, while you stated the obvious about George and this thread, he and his LSA flag wavers should be free to express their opinions. I have been a flag waver for different products out of enthusiasm over t...

Bug, I snagged a copy of Jake Shimabukuro's "Live" CD. Most excellent. Thanks for the reference.
