| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? OK, gonna try the Crimson MLs. Several people have recommended 'em. Hard to imagine they're gonna beat my Huffman SX, though. Report to come.I still keep a set of Grover interconects and speaker cables around just in case. | |
| Decware silver interconnects: anybody heard them? As Steve Deckert himself says owning these cables I would agree, these are stupidly good without being stupidly expensive! They are very neutral in my opinion, which is what I look for in cables. After years of experimenting I no longer look at a ... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? Preamp remote and source remote are two different things. Not only do I eschew remotes, my sources and preamps (both are single input/output so on occasion I'm switching cables) are in a totally separate room than my amp and speakers. Getting up i... | |
| Power handling capability of original Quad esl 57s IIRC Roger Modjeski designed and voiced the 35 watt RM-10 for use with his ESL-57's. | |
| Anyone have a Music First Preamp ? I've used the LSA with an amp that had a 21k ohm input impedance and it sounded fine, but not optimal as it did with amps whose input impedance specs were higher. From what I've been learning recently, I think in some ways the ratios being quoted ... | |

| Anyone have a Music First Preamp ? The S&B MkI transformers which I had in a K&K TVC were according to Kevin Carter the warmer of the three versions. As they progressed they became more neutral. For some reason the MkI and MkIII's are the preferred S&B's. | |
| Preamps for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers I use passive preamps with my S-30 for single ended mode. I run an Otari MX-5050 BII direct into the S-30 for balanced mode. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? My speakers are probably close to 95 dB sensitive even though they are listed at 92 dB. I think Duke is pretty conservative with the rating. Normally with amps that are closer to 1V I get to about 2 o'clock for normal listening. Less if the CD is ... | |
| One of my closest friends is gone. You had to appreciate a store that carried a wide variety of equipment, offered a top notch repair service to customers, and housed an analog museum. It helped even more that the people who own and operate the establishment are truly passionate ab... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Assuming all your ducks are in a row impedance wise and you use short low capacitance and shielded cables between the LSA and amp you should be quite pleased. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The source should put out 2V or there about and less than 200 ohms output impedance. The amp should have an input impedance greater than 50k ohms.As for sensitivity, I'm of the opinion that this is less of a factor. I've used the LSA with amps who... | |
| Adding Placette for finer volume adjustment? Replace the source? | |
| don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se Face, thanks for the pic. it's very clear now. | |
| don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se So is the gain for each input factory set (sounds like it) or can the user set it? |
