| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi clio09 , that one you've linked to is not one I've seen before, as at just 8.5v it's close to the drop out voltage (7.5v) of the 5v regulated circuit inside the Lightspeed. For $50 it's a good buy though, and should be fine.The ones I used t... | |
| Most transparent power amp kosst Al's right, the F7 is far from being passive "no active components that the signal passes through"Cheers George | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? tradeontheweb esmith904 I dug out some noise measurements for you guys I did on the noise floor of the output into 50kohm load.It was on the absolute limit on my Tektronics test gear to measure down that low. And with the Linear powersupply it w... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Nobody appreciates the naive, gullible tenderfoot audiophile more than I do. They’re my favourite. Hi, there. Want some candy? Sounds just like a comment from a Scientology recruitment officer?PS: Glad to see this thread is now placed in the Misc... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC That’s right George, Redbook is my priority. And I don’t wish to convert PCM to DSD. Ok, look for dacs and cdp's that use the last commercial R2R Multibit from this list the Burr Brown "PCM1704" (big so let it load and close popups)http://vas... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? @moderatorsPlease, this thread has no technical merit to this "Tech Talk" forum and is polluting it, please move it to "Misc Audio" where it belongs.Cheers George | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? what makes this thread so unpleasant. This isn’t a "Tech Talk" thread, as there’s nothing technical being said here, not a skerrick. It should be moved to "Misc Audio"Cheers George | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Seriously!!!It is just snake oil, so by definition it should be fun talk It's all good for an individual to play around with these snake oil products in private, just keep it to themselves. But when they come on here and tell the "gullible" tha... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions How did you wire in the decca tweeters? They had their own passive xover, with if I can remember a little attenuation as well, bought in at around 10khz or 12khz, as that's where we found the 57's "started" to roll off, all driven by the same a... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC lowrider57 I like seeing the quality parts being used, but no hirez from audio files? But you did say in your first post. " I’m thinking NOS due to my large collection of Redbook CD’s."To me pcm (redbook) once converted right, makes me think h... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions peter_s Stacked Quad Questions Wire these speakers: a single amp driving a stacked quad wired in parallel We did a lot of experimenting (paralleled and in series) driving stacked 57's with a Decca Kelly ribbons on top from 10khz up. The b... | |

| Border Patrol Dac gnostalgick Border Patrol Dac Looks like they also believe to get the best from pcm RedBook the way to go is with R2R Ladder Multibit conversion, not dsd's Delta SigmaHere is an interesting reviewhttps://parttimeaudiophile.com/2017/04/16/rev... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab First released in 2008, 9 years ago that for a sacd/cd player is getting long in the tooth, it may need a new laser, as back then sacd/cd lasers weren't the most durable.Cheers George | |
| Opinions on Krell LAT-1 Speakers I have a pair of Conrad Johnson LP 260M SE's Not really a speaker for tubes, bass will be hindered in the lower registers.Stereophile test quote:" However, the combination of 5 ohms magnitude and 45 degrees capacitive phase angle at 60Hz mean... |
