| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You will be fine with those specs. I have used the LSA with an amp with a slightly lower input impedance and the sound was just fine. | |
| New Speaker for Under 5K My recommendation would be Audiokinesis. | |
| LDR Active Preamp - does it exist? The battery is not a significant improvement. There is a difference in the sound but I cannot precisely pinpoint what it is. I swap the power supplies around every so often, but could live with either one. | |
| LDR Active Preamp - does it exist? You would want to use the ZStage between your source and the Lightspeed. If your source is 2V you can use the buffer to add another 2 or 3V to the signal. Then use the Lightspeed to attenuate.The idea of such a device that adds voltage to the sign... | |
| Looking for a Nice Simple Good Sounding Preamp... Scm I think that sounds reasonable. It is what I do. Just unplug the phono section and then plug in digital for those rare times I listen to it. | |
| DIY question on a preamp problem could use help... From my own personal experience I think Upscale's testing is a bit spotty. I have bought two separate sets of "low noise" tubes from them with the purchases several years apart. Both sets were noisy.Try to contact Roger Modjeski. He has done pream... | |
| Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy? David I do remember the AR table. Hope you and Danny are doing well. I miss hanging out with you guys. Don't get back that way any more though as I live in Las Vegas these days. As for the VPI tables I am not much of a fan. Personal preference tho... | |
| Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy? The Vinyl Nirvana overhaul is not a bad idea. A friend here locally bought an AR table from Dave and it was an excellent table. I would also add SOTA to your list. They are under valued and you can go direct to SOTA and talk to them about some of ... | |
| Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it? Yes they do. I use RMGI SM 911 blank tape. Many other brands to choose from as well. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? TelWire is solid core copper, the Mogami stranded copper. I made a set of speaker cables using 1 x copper solid core combined with 1 times silver solid core per run. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? TelWire from source to LSA and Mogami from LSA to amp. | |
| So what's a good preamp? Check out the K&K you won't be sorry. Along with the Hagerman Trumpet it's one of the best phono stages I have had in my system. Too bad about the LSA, did you talk to George about potential fixes for the ground issue? | |
| Gold Point Passive pre-amp We can work something out as I live in Las Vegas and own a home in Denver. I have a Lightspeed, DIY autoformer volume control using the Slagle/Chapman modules, and one of our own:http://www.electrafidelity.com/magnetic-line-amplifier/If you are in... | |
| Gold Point Passive pre-amp Passive preamps can be excellent choices in some systems. Your amp is sensitive enough and has a high enough input impedance. Your source also has an acceptable output impedance. Only way to determine if they will work is to try one and see. Does ... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? Roger Modjeski has some interesting views on this topic and the application of negative feedback in designs. FWIW I have an amp he designed that uses negative feedback and another that doesn't. I enjoy them both quite a bit. |
