| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Just looked at the specs of the Sony CDP-CA7es and the 10k for the output is the min load recommended, I would say with this figure it has an output impedance of around 200ohm which is fine. You will not do any harm to anything using the Lightspee... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? KevinzoeAm I missing anything by not having the volume at a higher setting (11-1 o'clock for example)? Besides getting louder, will the sonics improve as I turn the volume up louder?KevinzoeUnless you have very high capacitive interconnects (more ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Lstack, thanks for the write up on the Lightspeed Attenuator in a system that was not a prefect impedance match as this has never been done before. I have listened to it in the same situation and thought it was still better than listening to activ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The best sounding discrete buffer I have made is a tube buffer called the "SLCF" (Super Linear Cathode Follower). It was first use as the output buffer in the top of thie line Tektronics Ocilloscope, it has the lowest ouptut impedance of any tube ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes the Aragon's 22k is the problem you would need a buffer after the Lightspeed, but if your handy or know someone who is you could change the 22k input resistor to say 82k. If the input of the Aragon is fet then all will be fine with the 82k. Bu... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Even if it is a MkI Lightspeed setup and not MkII in those little boxes, they will still sound better than any industrie standard volume pot you can get.I asked him to remove all references to the Lightspeed name because it's the name of my produc... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thank you for your appraisal and the pat on the back Brislander. As you have now experienced the no contacts in the signal path sound of the Lightspeed Attenuator, it will be difficult to go back to an active preamp with a normal pot, as I maintai... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Sorry Kclone, I was a little wrong with the models, it's not the amp but his new $2500usd preamp that has the Nature Audio Light Sensor Volume Module in it to be released in March.Cheers George | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Kcloone, I believe it does have some form of LDR controlled volume in the new version with lcd readout on the front. I did ask Norman the owner of Arte Forma Audio to remove all references to Lightspeed Attenuator which he kindly did, he now calls... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? From a customer who has both the Lightspeed and Eva II ----- Original Message ----- From: Sirot SetaTo: George Stancheff Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 4:32 PMGeorge, The lightspeed is great and is "light" years ahead of diyparadise's EVA II.It... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Everyone who has bought one, including Sam Tellig from Stereophile has said they think the battery is better than the wall wart I supply with the Lightspeed Attenuator. But it's a small difference, and they cannot say what the differences are, thi... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? This is the best battery, it's Lithium-Ion, rechargable (no memory problems) lasts about 12hrs on the Lightspeed before recharge got all the right leads, on/off switch for the Lightspeed an neat sits on top. And cheap.http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBa... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I would say that with this low 83db speaker, your amps input sensivtity would have to be between 1-1.5v to have compatibility with the Lightspeed Design. But then seeing your amp is beastly 500watt rms, you would never use all this into (I take it... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? All this is not an issue, most amps/speakers are fine. If you have an amp that is .5 or 1v input for full output sensitivity and 110db speakers, then you my have a problem with having to use the Lightspeed way down on the volume and never being ab... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Quote from the Stereophile Review of the darTZeel NHB-18NS"For the first time in all audio history," said Delétraz, "the signal path does not pass through any physical switch, relay, or even transistor switch." Instead, inputs are enabled or disab... |
