Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Please I'm not referring to the information to help members understand his design or optimize its performance, but it seems to me that he really believes that his piece is the "BEST" there can be in linestage.So, I still believe that the way this ...

There is something to be said for those that have a conviction and stick by it. I have a lot of respect for what George did with the LSA because he has determined what he feels a preamp should accomplish, and while I agree that his way is no more ...

Seems then all the high end preamps, tube or SS, costing up to $100,000 that are not passive, just can't get it right? Or should I say as right as a passive?GrannyringWell, I think there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. Let's just say desig...

Wow isn't this fun. Nothing I'd rather be doing New Years Day after a night of no sleep and a couple Bloody Caesar's in me to take the edge off last night (or actually this morning).Seriously though, I love it when this thread gets revised because...

Let's agree to disagree and move on.Isn't that what we've been doing for the last 8 pages and nearly 400 posts:)Let's face it, we're relying on the recording engineer to interpret the event and put it down in as accurate a means as possible given ...

Not unless I am too:) 
Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS
It is easy to fall for the hype and buy cables and even write poetically about them until you came to your senses and realize what a dumb ass you are.I have made an ass of myself for raving about gear/wire only to find out I feel for the hype.Amen... 
Music Reference RM Mono?
Yes, it's more linear, especially noticeable in the lower frequencies. Not sure if this is due to lower distortion or the fact there is less stress on the tubes and the amp operates more efficiently. In some ways it appears to have more balls whic...

Betting against the Giants has been very profitable the last two weeks. I think we're going to take the Redskins this week as well.

$13,550 is a lot of spare change. The way things are going right now I might be able to turn that into $50,000 here in Las Vegas by the end of football season:)

That explains a lot, thanks for following up George. 
Art Audio Vinyl Reference vs Maxxed Out K&K
Kevin had the goods at RMAF, just not in the finished package. The room sounded great. After dealing with Kevin on the phone a number of times it was great to finally meet him in person. I hope he keeps both lines running.

I am talking about honest dialogue here and not about product cheerleading. I would have not posted a thing if the builder did not quickly run to the catch all "bad synergy" comment on Knghifi's Samson amp. According to the amp's spec it is indeed...
