| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The battery is plug and play. The link to the connectors show several. The one I indicated is the one you want. It is center pin positive. Most are default that way, but you need to be certain as reversing the polarity on yours with a center pin n... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Marqmike: The amp should have greater than 50k input impedance, more is better. Input sensitivity isn't as critical. Typically 1V or so would suffice, but I've run my LSA with an Atma-Sphere S-30 that is nearly 3V sensitive and it works fine. I ev... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? If you buy this off the shelf, is it center pin positive by default?If you buy what off the shelf? | |
| Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom Agree with Pani. Try using the Sumiko Master Set method to set up your speakers. It will take a while but you will learn to find the bass nodes in the room and correct for any boominess. | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Mine was made center pin negative because the wall wart George recommended was set up this way. For the battery power supply you can find it here:http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02871486000PThis will allow the Lightspeed to run much longe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I just started running the Lightspeed off a battery power supply. It is the same batter power supply used by Galibier Designs to power their turntable motors (Sears Diehard Portable Power 750), 12V DC and 12aH. Thom Mackris made me the appropriate... | |
| Can Interconnects be converted to speaker cables The 47 Labs OTA cable kit uses 26 gauge solid core copper wire, one for the positive and one for the negative. I never encountered a problem with these cables. I think it just may come down to the IC you want to convert. However, it can be done an... | |

Once I bought the Audiokinesis Jazz Module I found they immediately clicked with my amp, more so than any other amp/speaker combo I have had. I also found that changes further up the chain made less of a d... | |
| A phono amp that beats the MFA Magus's phono? Actually, many other phono stage manufacturers incorporate that provision. Are they doing this just to accommodate a bunch of deaf, dumb, or lazy audiophiles?My guess is they just may be but it would be economic suicide if they went public with it... | |
| Turn table set up Unfortunately won't be around this weekend. However, feel free to email me offline and maybe can exchange numbers. I've walked a few people over some of the simpler aspects of set-up over the phone. Glad you're making progress on your own though. ... | |
| A phono amp that beats the MFA Magus's phono? I agree with Allen. Its one of the reasons I went to a moving iron cartridge. You don't load it down. At one time I had a discussion about this with Keith Herron and he also agreed about the negative aspects of loading down the cartridge. So betwe... |
