| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? My conclusion is that someone else designed the Lightspeed for you. You really need to look before you leap, this statement really shows your real worth.I don't even know why you bother posting on a "passive preamps" thread when you don't make t... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? celander Seriously. Go grab a beer You shouting!!! never joke about having a beer to an Aussie, mate, he'll be on to you like a rat up a drain pipe. Sorry Tweak again with the off topics. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Just looked at it tweak1 OP they missed the mark as nowhere does it say you can switch out the J-Fet buffer, that's a bummer. Nelson Pass kindly made a buffer for the Lightspeed Attenuator 10 years ago so his customers could drive a couple of mod... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? atmasphere Its pretty obvious you didn’t design the Lightspeed, so I’m interested in seeing the math. Really, you need a history lesson back to the 1970’s, your not worth the effort after that statement, you’ve really shown your ignorance now. ... | |
| MAC Autoformers? 08-03-2018 3:21pmWith easily driven speakers ( impedance ), I much prefer the Mac amps without the autoformers. Same with OTL tube amps. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/56/c1/a3/56c1a3c6bb97f86a61c4144444b20508--emoji-faces-cartoon-faces.jpg But, l... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I will say, without a doubt, that I am much happier, without the preamps in my system. I have tried passives before, but never thought they " came of age " but it has all come together. I suppose I am one of the few lucky ones I don’t think Mr D ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? If a listener likes the sound of a certain type of passive in their system, then that’s what matters. If they want to compare their passive with an active circuit, then they can simply connect a buffer to the passive and decide which sounds bette... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I don’t remember which customer lent us the Lightspeed You attack my product and you tell me to keep calm, conveniently not remembering who it was. With a 3 foot high quality cable (which would have 300pf) in such cases you would have a roll-off ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Most good interconnects are 100pf per foot or less your citing of 300pf for a mt, is for a reasonable low capacitance interconnect and all my figures above in my last post are correct, and I have always stated so from the first Lightspeed built, a... | |
| Usher Pre-Amp and Usher R2.5 what are they worth?? Usher Pre-Amp and Usher R2.5 what are they worth?? The R2.5 is worth around the same as a much older Threshold S300 that it was copied after. The pre about the same if it's a copy also of a Threshold pre.Cheers George | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? With a 3 foot high quality cable (which would have 300pf) in such cases you would have a roll-off that is very real world. Totally false and misleading.A 10kohm passive pre which the Lightspeed is also, has a worst scenario output impedance of 2.... | |
| MAC Autoformers? You shouldn't question what they do, they have their job moderating and are good at it. Like I said I doubt very much the post was deleted because of a reference to another audio website, it was probably whatever else was said, in the way it was s... | |
| MAC Autoformers? Well, my last post was removed because I mentioned another audio website. I doubt that very much, I post links to Stereophiles bench measured results all the time, it must have been something else or the tone of your voice. Be careful moderators ... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? If you can do it put all the equipment either to your left or right. The best imaging and depth to sound you’ll get is to have nothing between your speakers as far back as you can, and to the out side of the speakers.Put equipment racks in between... | |
| MAC Autoformers? bifwynne I am confused. I get using autoformers on high output impedance tube amps. The autoformes will make the amp think it is driving a higher impedance speaker load and thereby improve the damping factor, make the load easier for the tube am... |
