| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? True, I can't see what more can be done to the circuit. I think George already addressed that going from MkI to MkII. I think we can forget about any upgrade in ergonomics for the time being.Reading about the Warpspeed I find the designer has this... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I read that as well and find #4 interesting. Wasn't the whole idea of using LDRs and optocouplers in George's design to take the switch out of the equation. In other words a $5 switch would work just as well as a $200 switch.Regarding #1, this is ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? In most cases high end roll off is the symptom. As we age, typically our high frequency hearing regresses anyway. You're not that old though, not that I could tell anyway. Maybe you just find the sound pleasing, for whatever reason, as I did when ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? In the system I have that features the LSA my speaker cables are 18' long. The brand is OCOS. They are made by Dynaudio and are known for their performance in long runs. I use 1m interconnects. As for capacitance on the interconnects. Anything und... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Glad to here their a few more of us "dealers" out there. I was getting a little worried George wasn't building a large enough network to push product out the door to the masses:) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? If Teajay asked that of Paul I certainly missed it too. Not sure why it's even logical to ask of either of us. In any case I have no business relationship with George.I'm not attempting to design and sell tube amps, I am actually doing it, preamps... | |
| Will Vincent "Dynaco" Amps The kit offered by Kevin Carter at K&K Audio has always been of interest to me. Turns the original 35 watts per side into 10 watts triode. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? What doesn't make sense Andrew?Seems like it made sense to Al who replied that my methods reinforced the meaningfulness of my tests. I as well as many others around here respect his opinion. Have you tried these tests yourself?I sense you're about... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Al - agree with your point on ground loops, especially if the resulting noise is 60Hz hum. That is why if I suspect a ground loop I use the Jensen plugs to determine the component that is responsible. As I suspect you know, as you are familiar wit... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have talked to two other designers of pre-amps who disagree with the fundamental premise behind the superiority of light-based volume controls. That does not make them right, but the gospel according to George is just that. Gospel to some and ap... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Okay I got it. Thanks | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Link doesn't work. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Regarding the question on the diode effect. For those that missed it or don't recall it George explains it as follows: The (diode thingy) "diode effect" is bought around by very fast music transients from the source, CDP or phono, which can be in ... | |
