| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? George , I tried to PM you, w/o success. If you could PM me, Done.Looked it all up, and your right to go for the Lightspeed in this system. Your Adcom with 78ohm output impedance at 2.1v is a perfect match.Your Nuforce at 51kohm input impedance... | |
| Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT? ps interesting that only now do you talk about bit stripping .. Please read the first page, starting 1/3 down, I mention it in 4 post! I've heard of selective hearing, but selective reading?Cheers George | |
| Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT? I’d try the 0.2V output setting on the Vivaldi if you attenuated between 9.5dB and 14dB; this way you’d be able to run the volume control to max, with no more than 5dB of attenuation. Yes seigen has the right idea, this way you run minimal risk o... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? mrdecibel @georgehifi I might be ready to try an LDR unit, so what do you think ? Enjoy ! MrD. By all means Flick me a PM with your email address listing your components, and I'll send you all the relative info on the Lightspeed Attenuator,... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I’m pretty sure that’s what I said, isn’t it? No you were putting ****on the fins, and I wasn’t. I like the fins, as I said " they look a lot better than a plain square box."!!!! http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=151232 Geesh!#! read first,... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Another soap box rant, a blind man can see the fins are there for looks, they look a lot better than a plain square box.http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=151232Cheers George | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Posted this up on the wrong thread, it was meant to be here. These are two Hattor’s.Passive, which I believe you have, which what looks to be Kozmho switched volume control, which I believe is a fixed series resistor and variable ones to ground, ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Just found their site, they have an extensive range, of what looks to be well made products, including a tube onehttp://www.hattor.com/index2.html#ultimateCheers George | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? These are two Hattor’s.Passive, which I believe you have, which what looks to be Kozmho switched volume control, which I believe is a fixed series resistor and variable ones to ground, which will vary it’s i/o impedance’s at different volume level... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? The PPs suck dry musical dynamics, timing and related details. That could be true if you weren’t impedance matched. An active preamp can’t "make" these out of thin air, compared to a "impedance matched" passive preamp, it's already there in the m... | |
| Leave preamp on all day, off at night If you cherish your tubes they start age from the time they get switched on, if the wife and kids don’t care about sound quality all day, get a small Sonus/Bose or whatever they’er called system for them.And heat from tubes also effects the intern... | |

| Please help me find perfect dac for me Do you want to just do PCM (Redbook cd DXD ect) or do you want to do DSD as well?PCM is best done with R2R Multibit (Holo, Deafrips, Yaggy, MSB some AudioGD ect ect)But if you need to do DSD as well only some of the more expensive R2R dacs can con... | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing audiosens General rule to couple (spike) or de-couple (not spike) speakers to the floor, comes down to what floor you have.1: Cement slab floor on mother earth (not cement sheet) = spike (couple)2: Suspended floor wood, sheet, (includes cement sh... | |
| Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT? By the way the OP ask for "comparisons and to elucidate the differences. This is what folkfreak did in fact do. Well don’t jump on Johndoe’s case for doing just that, forest and trees. You aren’t experiencing straight wire with gain. No it’s stra... |
