| Removing power conditioner... When I needed a power strip I used a BPT PPC. Best power conditioner I have had was a Running Springs Haley. Now I use the Alan Maher power enhancer products, mostly the original ones he started selling about 5 years ago. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? My need for an active buffer with attenuator is due to a need to run long interconnects to an amp that sits in between my speakers. I have another set-up where I just use the Lightspeed with short interconnects to the amp and long speaker cables. ... | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? I wouldn't necessarily consider a buffered device a band aid for passive-hostile systems. If you look at the designs of a Pass B-1, Burson-160, and Horn Shoppe Truth as examples, these buffered devices are anything but band-aids. They are also tec... | |
| Speakers for a large vaulted room? Well I have had a similar problem in my new listening room. Much more space from side wall to listening position due to long wall placement, and a vaulted ceiling that peaks right down the middle of the room. I was having more sound issues than I ... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? There goes Andrew "helping" his friends again. LOL. I'm glad I didn't fork over a boat load of money for one of those upper level TRL preamps only to later have it referred to as flawed, or the GTP-4 only to find that another TRL preamp costing si... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? I have had the privilege to work with Masa Tsuda and Hajime Sato at THE SHOW in Las Vegas this year and at last years RMAF. I'll also be working with them at THE SHOW Newport. So I've spent a lot of time with the Concert Fidelity components (and a... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? I believe S&B stopped selling the transformers for DIY and OEM purposes a while back, which prompted John Chapman of Bent Audio to switch to the Slagle autoformers for his magnetic passive preamps. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Its use calls for a fairly complex crossover so it doesn't appeal to many purists, but if the designer does his job well, neither you nor your amplifier would ever guess that the crossover is complex.Audiokinesis (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Y... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Now you've done it Jylee. I just have to have that chassis. Where did you get it from?Great job on your project. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Great news George. I guess if you add a zero to the price Stereophile would bump you up a notch. Of course then they would down play the Lightspeed because it didn't look like eye candy.Best leave it alone. I'll take a "B" Stereophile rating for C... | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? The input impedance of your amp is 20k ohms. IMO this is not a great match for a passive preamp. There could be exceptions, but I am not aware of any.On the other hand you could use a buffered preamp. This uses active circuitry with no gain. The a... | |
| Tube Research Labs Latest Dude Preamp 1) Depends on how a company implements a balanced design. Typically true differential balanced circuits resolve noise issues and allow one to use extremely long cables without degrading sound quality. If the balanced circuit supports the 600 ohm s... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? The low damping factor in effect changes the woofer's electrical damping in a way that increases bass output relative to what you'd get with a solid state amp. If the speaker designer anticipated this, he has tuned the box so that instead of the l... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Selling the circuit diagram? Seriously? No April Fools joke? Never ceases to amaze me as to what some will do to make a buck. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? I believe Inna's got it. |
