| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? The S3 ’s are widely all over the place, almost impossible to get few "quad matched sets" to do a Lightspeed properly with close to zero volume low volume, unless they are forced matched with servo feedback arrangement and by over driving some whi... | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Personally I don’t subscribe to the "best preamp is no preamp" idea. A great preamp is the heart of a fine system. For many reasons. "A great preamp is the heart of a fine system. For many reasons."Please give the "many" technical reasons, not poe... | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? But what I observe is other LDR attenuators, based on what I have learned may be the NSL32SR3 type of LDR, apparently these can offer better audio characteristics, namely lower distortion, the manufacturer Luna Inc stating "best distortion charact... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated Ah good, ricevs was right it was the Technics not the Mytek you were talking about.Cheers George | |
| R to r dacs Has anyone heard the MSB Analog DAC? If so, what were your thoughts compared to other DACs you've heard? 👍 MBS discrete r2r dac direct to amps.It has re-invented all my CD's, especially ones I thought were shocking recordings that I thought wer... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Like I said, once again. "There no such thing as a "good sounding" class-B xover distortion!"Because Class-B xover distortion it’s NOT a "nice/colored" sounding distortion like many tubes give, and to eliminate if possible (without sterilizing the... | |
| R to r dacs But, the Qutest conveyed that detail that seemed artificially Technicolor. Because it's said Delta Sigma based dacs, while "so far" the way to go for converting DSD, can only give a facsimile of PCM Redbook 16/44 24/96 or DXD, where R2R does t... | |

| Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player Why does a cd transport cost more than a cd player? They shouldn’t, I’m using on my second system a used (av cost $400) Teac VRDS-7 player, "used as a transport". It took 1min to disconnect all the dac stages from it. Which basically left it as ... | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? I personally never liked TVC units myself. I agree, TVC passives are usually colored, softened in dynamics, also in the frequency extremes. I would say they might appeal to those that like laid back SET tube amps.BTW: before anyone sez anything "s... | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? I don’t know either, maybe a safety factor against accidently leaving things running, works for me sometimes when I’ve had a few too many🤷♂️🤷♂️Cheers George | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? Are there passive attenuators that don’t zero volume and only offer one input ? The op wants a passive pre with one input, that doesn’t go to zero, all the ones mentioned above do zero the volume. As far as I know only the Lightspeed at minimum vo... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? The sound of any amplifier is always about what distortion it makes The sound of ANY amplifier is better without ANY distortions whatsoever. (Sure some distortions are not AS bad as others.)So long as very little distortion is NOT attained by usin... | |
| "Mytek Empire monoblock power amps, with GaN based technology." I believe he is talking about the Technics.....It is a Technics thread Yes I can see now you "could" be right, but I was discussing the new Mytek Empire before his post, and then he posted. If it is confirmed the that it is the Technics SU-... | |
