Rogue Cronus tap change question
I used a 12mm wrench and performed the procedure at the kitchen table. It was really quite easy once it was on the table and off the rack. 
Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC
Naggots may I suggest the Stereovox Ultra. I just did a shoot out between the Veloce,which I've owned for a year, the Silverstar 75 and the Ultra. Hands down the Ultra was significantly better. I believe you are not really hearing your DAC until y... 
Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC
Morganc, I see that you do not mention the type of digital cable you are using. Reason why I ask is that I just demoed a Stereovox Ultra digital cable and it elevated my digital front end to very significant levels. Honestly, one of the most signi... 
How good is the PWD DAC II Preamp Section
Yes Ska man, I'm wondering if I can delete the preamp and just go direct with a superlative sonic result . Sounds like 2 responders like the addition of the outboard preamp. Thanks. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I see Gene Reuben Audio does carry the attenuators. Looks like I'll give them a try. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Thanks guys,I'll check into the Rothwells. I did plug my tuner into the LSA and the "0" setting gave me acceptable low volume. Maybe it's my DAC output? I don't think it would be my transport output? 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
My Krell amp has an input sensitivity of 1.34 V RMS and gain of 26db. Looks like I need an amp with lower input sensitivity . Not sure how the gain number factors in. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I see that George recommended lowering my gain of the amp or source. My amp input impedance is 47k ohms and output impedance of my DAC has been confirmed at 600 ohms by Rega. What numbers do I need to look for in an amp or source to match with my ... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I get to 9 easily without it being too loud. 12 gets me pretty good volume and I've been up to 2 on a temporary jam.My main concern is that when I'm at "0" volume I'd like less signal to be conveyed to my speakers. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Plinko, please see my 3-29 post for component list. I really like the lightspeed.Can't imagine not having it in my system. I'll have to work with George on work arounds for the volume issue. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Hi - With my lightspeed I still get significant volume when my volume knob is set all the way down. Is that because my speakers are 98 db efficient? I need to be able to reduce my volume lower.

Clio - looks like the output impedance is 600 ohms on the Rega DAC. is this too high?

George, I'll have to shoot Rega an emai. None of my IC's are over a meter.Thanks.Jack
