Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I have to eat a little crow.I posted earlier that I preferred my Supratek linestage to the LS due to an added dimensionality and warmth that tubes offer with all other thngs being equal between the two.Well, reading this threat spurred me to put t... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I love my Lightspeed, but it is not in my system for one simple reason. My Supratek Chardonnay is equal to the Lightspeed in all regards; transparency, slam, finesse, soundstage, etc., but my Chardonnay is not stock. It has a DACT attenuator and V... 
Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
Bravo, you guys got it right here!It is amazing how often this is used incorrectly here and in forums all over the internet. 
Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
"Your" is a form of the possessive case of "you"."You're" is the contraction of "you are".Really very simple. 
Wilson Sasha , Avalon Indra or Magico V3?
Considering the Prince is two times the price of Indras and approx. 30% more than the Sasha one would hope the Prince would be better. But even that's debatable. The Stereophile measurements certainly aren't a slam dunk.But even if the Prince is "...

Preamp Deal of the Century
Maril, if I criticized you unfairly at any point for your characterization of your Supratek, my apologies. Prior to my most recent posts, I never suspected that the glare I heard in my system was from my Supratek. I assumed based on the posts of a...

Jeff, you might try Lexan first. There are some high-end companies that make isolation products who use Lexan as their material of choice.If you can't find it nearby, I will cut you a couple of 1/2" shelves to try under your Supratek. I have plent... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Jtgofish,LOL.I'm not asking anyone to believe it. Just relating my experience.If you have a Supratek, easy enough to experiment.And I think my sonic memory is good enough to last about 5 minutes from one change of footing to the next. Chair in the...

I'll second the Audio Metallurgy. I just finished an audition with Synergistic Research Apex and Precision Reference ICs and the Audio Metallugry was better in every respect except the mid-bass articulation and even there it was close.But tonality...
