| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... Maybe we can save Ralph the trouble since you actually addressed the SA-4 here:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1141537350&read&keyw&zzcounterpointTo quote:03-05-06: ViridianThese were designed by Roger Modjeski for Co... | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... I suspect that Roger has a really robust driver circuit in the RM-10. IOW, its probably a class AB2 circuit.You are the second credible source that I have heard state that. The first source found reference to this possibility in the RCA book. | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... There is clearly something going on with that amp that allows it to output 35 watts from a pair of EL84s when no other amp is even close to the figure. In fact, there are no other EL84 amps that will make more than half that power from a single pa... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You would want to use the fixed outputs, not the variable outputs on the CDP, but you probably already knew that. Atkinson measured an output impedance that varied according to frequency, but was in the 120 ohm range so I'd say you're good to go c... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Rshnicle, is that thing analog (tape) only or does it do digital? How much software can you get in that man purse?That's quite the babe magnet you got there, lol. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The DIY diffuser write-up was helpful, but after looking at your system page I'm more interested in those wooden hemi cylindrical diffusers. They look great in the room.Well at least the Sony has legible specs for the lay person. You are in good s... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? A couple things. One, the sensitivity of your amp is quite low, 770mV (and if you have the 350mV option extremely low). The input impedance is a very compatible 180k ohm. I looked at your system page and was wondering if you are using the Metric H... | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps I think Grannyring and Dev make some good points. Maybe you could tell everyone what amp you are planning to use with either of the preamps. Listing the rest of your system probably would help too. You might get better advice in the end. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? There is a market for those NOS tubes;) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes you did ask. I've gone down this road with George. Bottom line he gave me the schematic, but warned that overall this is an inferior design due to the difficulty in matching the additional LDRs (versus single ended operation). In addition, if ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Funny, I've been considering trying an Airtight of late. Guess I'll cross that off my list. I have used the LSA as well with unfavorable impedance matching. Into am amp with 21k input impedance. It did sound good, although you will definitely hear... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I'd be concerned about the 22k input impedance of the Aragon as well. Maybe George could elaborate more, but I'd say it probably would not work optimally. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I'm sure it uses LDR technology. Question is how is it implemented and what parts are being used. Hard to tell as you can't see inside the boxes. By virtue of the fact that Norman previously used the phrase Lightspeed to describe his volume contro... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? It appears the revised version of the I-150 that is coming out does use the LDR modules. You can see a picture here, just scroll down a bit:http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=41nuif7eicssir4e9kk8svclrd1p42r9&topic=87635.20 | |
| Diffusers for magnepan speakers Me too. |
