Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
That's good news, glad you sought it out, hope that dicky amp didn't feed anything strong back into the ldr's in the Lightspeed, as the ldr's are in direct coupled contract with any amps input stage via the interconnect..Cheers George 
New Klipsch Forte IV
Fine in the headbanging days, but slowly that in "your face shout" gets to you after a while you when you mature. In the last 30 years it’s been big ESL with Plasma highs for me with proper bass subs that go down >150hz with detail. But like I ...

amplifier with volume control
ieales865 posts08-13-2021 2:12amThe demands the input of an amplifier puts on a source is just like what a speaker puts on an amp utter nonsense. This just flat out wrong. There is next to zero current required in the input of an amplifier. Ther... 
Gale 401's
, c27078 , Could a Cambridge Audio AXR85 power these enough to truly appreciate them? No! it’ll make a noise, but that’s it. When they are driven well they are one of the old sleepers that can really do it, with all types of music, and they need...

Holo Audio May DAC

Need opinions on duping CD's
Download Exact CopyEAC it might make an "exact copy", but it’s usually of the later re-issues compressed releases that one has, or borrowed, unless you look up the non-compressed early release CD on DRDB and exact copy it if you can hunt it down u... 
Need opinions on duping CD's
First off don’t get later "compressed" re-masters or re-issues, get the original uncompressed versions.Cheers George 
New Klipsch Forte IV
I’m willing to bet you never heard the Forte IV .   I've had Klipsch-Horn and La-Scala and the Forte. I don't like "horn-shout" is that ok ? And like I said the Forte was the most musical of them all.And my tastes if you search are big ESL's.
