| Music server choice I have been doing a lot of research on this topic lately. While personally I am going to go with my own modified Mac Mini solution, I would recommend you look into the Linux based SOtM products offered by Sonore Audio. In addition, Small Green Com... | |
| Speaker placement in strangely shaped "room"? Kind of hard to tell how much space there is to work with since no distances are provided. One thing I would look into is a diagonal set up where you could leverage the solid wall space between the door and corner A and corner A and junction B.Wha... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The LSA adds nothing to the mix. It will be purer and smother than the Placette if the LSA matches up with your source and amp. Minimum 2V output and less than a few hundred ohms output impedance from your source. Minimum 47k ohm input impedance a... | |
| Someone in Chicago to help with Maplenoll Ariadne? If you find that you might need additional assistance try contacting Brian Walsh of Essential Audio. He is in the Chicago suburbs and may be able to help. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I recommended Mogami which is what I use. I bought mine here from:http://app.audiogon.com/listings/interconnects-mogami-rca-1-meter-studio-standard-interconnect-2013-06-27-cables-80015.You could also try some pro gear stores. Mogami Studio Gold Ne... | |
| Sorry for Q- Need help moving to music server. Oh they have Ethernet options too if you want to go that way. Send them an email they are very helpful when it comes to helping with configuration. | |
| Sorry for Q- Need help moving to music server. Long time no hear Lkdog. Hope things are going well. I have been looking at this myself. Since your DAC has a USB input take a look at the VortexBox devices at Small Green Computer. They can connect to USB DAC, have ability to rip CDs, or allow yo... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Get the Lightspeed, get the adapters, and be done with it. Given what you probably paid for those cables the investment here is minimal and the reward factor is very high. I bought a pair of adapters from a pro music store for another set up I hav... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The LSA is not available in balanced configuration. George has stated several times that in his testing a balanced design was not reliable. As Photonman advised just get an RCA to XLR cable, but keep it short, 1.5m at the most and ensure the cable... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You can buy the Lightspeed directly from George. Email him at georgehifi@optusnet.com.au. Also, check out this thread regarding a comparison I did between a few different passive/buffer units:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&12481... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You should be just fine. Especially if you can drive the Krell direct from the Ayon. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? What is the output voltage and output impedance of your source? That will give us a better indication. FWIW I use my LSA with an Atma_Sphere S-30 which is about 3V sensitive and 100k ohm input impedance. My source is Just over 2V output and 100 oh... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks for the update and congratulations. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? No loss of dynamics from what I could tell. I think you will once again discover why the LSA is so good. The ICs I used back then were Mogami but now I use WyWires. They have incredibly low capacitance.Dealer disclaimer for WyWires. | |
| Band's you have seen on their first U.S. tour The most notable was The Clash. |
