| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Straight wire no gain? LSA the watercourse way (sic)? Lead, follow, or get out of the way? Sounds likes the LSA fits the bill;) However, it doesn't fit everyone's preference.In any event, with the LSA we're not only left with the source-amp-speake... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines Paul, in my old condo when the speakers were on the carpet I used Adona platform shelves under them. The shelves are a layer of granite combined with a layer of MDF bonded by some type of epoxy. Granite side was face down to the carpet and speaker... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks for your comments Bill. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to the LSA. I'm missing it myself so I'm also glad to hear it will be returning to its home:)I find your last comment on the potential for too much of a good thing an interesting one. I... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines No Duke, THANK YOU...You not only build products with high value/price ratio, and support then well, but you also changed the way I listen to music. | |
| Can I ground my preamp? Rather than use cheaters I disconnect the ground wire at the IEC end of my PC. Of course, you can only do this if the PC has a removable plug, like Oyaide, Watt Gate, etc. Only my preamp is grounded and I do hear a reduction in noise, but dependin... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines It makes me even prouder to be a Jazz Modules owner. The only piece of my system that I can absolutely say will be with me for the long hall.In fact, when I was speaking to Duke the other day I told him when I die I'm requesting my ashes be distri... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I think it came from a Stereophile article. Not sure who it came from though. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? In my system the sound becomes a lot more colorful steeped in more accuracy of the natural tones and timing of real music.Marqmike, glad you're happy with the LSA. I think you really hit on something with this comment. It pretty much describes how... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Pubul57, I know what you mean. It's my preference to have dual volume controls and when I ordered my LSA I just asked George if he could do it that way for me. I don't think it is an official option as George feels his stock design is best as is. ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Maybe it was previously mentioned, but can you make these with two volume knobs for left and right channels to adjust balance?That's what mine is. Cost difference was negligible. Of course mine is not remote. Dual volume remote I'm not certain about. | |
| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... Ralph, thanks for the comments. I agree with you a buffer changes the design to an active one. I will say that using both the LSA and The Truth with your S-30 amp worked out fine for me on both digital and analog recordings. The phono stage provid... | |
| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... Teajay, no problem and trust me I do understand where you are coming from. In hind sight maybe I should have disclosed (hint: I cryptically did in my first original response to you). It would save me from responding to the rash of emails I'm getti... | |
| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... The LSA costs $450 and The Truth $825. One is passive and the other active. Both are more similar than they are different. Stanwal brings up an interesting point. A $450 passive was better in my system than active preamps I've had costing upwards ... | |
| best position of components in relation to spkers? I agree with keeping the equipment from being positioned between the speakers. I have used the side wall in the past and in my new apartment I have the sources and preamp in another room and drilled a hole in the wall to run the interconnects to t... | |
| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... Teajay, the thread was never about a comparison of the two preamps. Rather, the purpose was to provide some information on an alternative to a passive design that might give some people interested a taste of the sound without worrying about system... |
