| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I prefer a battery, but I cannot say why, if I did a blind test I could not say which was which. Sam Tellig of Stereophile says the same, he prefers the battery when he know which is on, but cannot say why either. Go to ebay and type in "12v Lithi... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Anyone can put one in a tube pre or tube power amp, but the temperature fluctuations will make it go out of calibration very quickly.Comparing the Shallco to the Lightspeed in a preamp where there are no switches or balance controls, in other word... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? For those who want an integrated amp or preamp with a LDR controlled type of volume control in the designs. The Japanese company Arte Forma Audio have used (I'm not sure if correctly used) a form of the Lightspeed Attenuator in their Susan and Sus... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes he has even posted on this thread a few times, and he is a private user, no system thread and not selling anything, so no way of getting in touch. It's been a few days now that I can't answer him, he must be starting to think what kind of back... | |
