| Ribbon Tweeters??? Decware makes very good products at very affordable prices. I myself am looking seriously at acquiring a pair of their omni speakers.For $895 you're getting a very efficient speaker that goes down to 42Hz, and can produce 112db SPL. Not sure what ... | |
| British sound??? Read Robert E. Green's review of the Spendor 1/2 or Harbeth Compact 7 speakers. This should give you a pretty good idea of the British sound.You can find the reviews here:Spendor 1/2Harbeth Compact 7 | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 2549 and they are low capacitance. Just a simple shielded cable design. This connects the LSA to the S-30.Roger Modjeski first introduced me to Litz as he uses this geometry in is top line cables. Litz in general yield low capacitance and superior... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I use Mogami:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablintr&1303312915&/Mogami-RCA-1m---studio-standarAlternately I recommend a cable that uses a Litz geometry as it is noise canceling by design. One such cable is the one offered from Q A... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? They are both solid state CDPs, should be fine. I'd recommend a shielded IC between the LSA and amp. I think the Reality cables are shielded, not sure about Audience. Morrow are not shielded. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? There's a stereo amp with inputs in the front too;) | |
| Who makes the best passive volume control? I have tried both the Endler's and EVS attenuators favoring the EVS in the end. I still keep them around.I have always been curious about two other passives that come in balanced versions that I've never tried. One is the Luminous and the other is... | |
| looking for phono suggestions I have owned several phono stages and also the Capri with phono. The phono in the Capri is top notch and quiet to boot. Why deal with the extra unit and cabling if you don't have too. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The only other possibility is to put it inside the actual amp at the input. It would require enough chassis space, but it can be done. This is Ralph's approach with the passive attenuator upgrade for the M-60 amps and up in his line. Unfortunately... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have the EVS attenuators and the concept is pretty sound in terms of being able to put them at the amps inputs. Not sure you could get the LSA to accomplish the same thing since each unit would probably be larger in size than an EVS or Endler ma... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Sounds good to me. Seems like remote LDR options exist out there, but wonder if there is any negative impact on the sound using a remote feature. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes, you want the linear regulated PS, not a switching PS. 400mA is plenty. No need to go the super beefy route with the LSA. Of course you need the correct pin adapter with center pin positive too. | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Is it that the distance between the speakers is 83% of the distance from the speaker to ear or plane of the speakers in front of you to ear? There is a difference. | |
| B+O MMC2 cartridge What line grade was it,any good The MMC-2 is an excellent cartridge. I have one mounted on an SME Series III tonearm that I use with my Galibier Design Serac turntable. I purchased the acrylic adapter from Soundsmith so I can use the cartridge on non-B&O tonearms. This parti... | |
