| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Sorry typo above "5 different mV settings to get 4 that are equal resistances at 1 2 5 10 & 20mV each." It should read mA not mVCheers George | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi Jylee, I have been asked this too many times to remember, if I do it for one I have to do it for all. Being it's the most expensive and labour intensive part of the Lightspeed Attenuator, sorry but it's only for the production Lightspeeds. For ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Sorry typo above "Rather it use the cheaper NSL23SR3" should read "NSL32RS2" no "S" on the end for sorted.And also thumbs up for the chassis Jylee wish I could incorperate it in my production one and keep the price the same.Cheers George | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Jylee The only concern is the soundstage imaging which is not as good as before.JyleeThis from experience may be because it does not use the far more expensive NSL32SR2S (S=sorted)+(tighter impedance span) "quad matched" as in the production Light... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Looks like Morley muso's equipment has jumped on the Lightspeed band wagon as well claiming better sound than with normal foot operated volume pedals, pity it's mono otherwise it could have been utilised. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analog-line... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You guys will be happy to know that the Lightspeed Attenuator has made Class B in preamps again in Stereophile Recommended Components, it got 5 star value as well because most of Class B is $3K +. An email to me said it would never get to Class A ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks Clio, it's just the circuit diagram they are trying to sell, no components at all.Cheers George | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thos pesky little people are at it again, I've been sent a few sites where they are charging $10-$50 for the Lightspeed Attenuator circuit. I have put it up free on DIY Forums, but they are out there trying to make money on someone else's I.P. So ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi Mcondon, if you can use the digital domain volume control within it's final 20% of full output, IE if it's 100 steps, then 80 or more you should not hear any bit stripping, if lower than 80 forget it your starting to go back to the days of good... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Jult521) With my 1.8v DAC feeding my 2.1v input amp, I find most of my listening to be in the 12-2 o'clock range.2) I swear there was some break-in in the bass with the LSA, lasting maybe 5 hours.3) I am a newbie compared to the very experienced a... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Like I said two lager than cigarette size boxes hanging off each rca on the back of the amp/s, and a third power supply unit, you need a remote volume control as they would be behind the amps, then there's the problem of the remote receiver in bot... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? To reconfigure it and have it so it plugs directly into the poweramps rca's, would be a nightmare to do. As there is no standard distance between left and right rca's on a stereo poweramps and then there's monoblocks to contend with. You would hav... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? No negative impact using a remote, but no improvement in sound either, but there is a negative impact using any form of input or output switching. It has has always crossed my mind to do a remote volume, but as it is the Lightspeed Attenuator has ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? None really, it's maxed out because of it's simplicity, the siganl travels through one soldered resitor only with no volume pot contacts or other contacts in the signal path.All that could be done is to 12vdc battery power it, but that is a very v... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? No need to do the A typical Audiophile thing here, and go overboard. So long as you have 100pf or less per foot, that's fine as this gives with 1mt a -3db 76khz, this is over kill anyway as the cd filtering is lets face it already cutting in the m... |
