| Dont laugh No problem Al. I should have been more clear. I love that Jensen input transformer. My system sounds the best it has ever sounded. I think my amp sounds better through the balanced inputs. Not a subtle, but pretty big improvement. | |
| Dont laugh Almarg, one other thing about the xlr cable shootout. These cables are going from my newly acquired Jensen input transformer into my Aesthetex Atlas amp. All were about the same length of at or just under 3 feet long. All three were very good soun... | |
| Dont laugh Guys I have been around and at this hobby long enough to know better. Yes they were all xlr cables. I have a bit more knowledge then some think :-)I also know good sound and systems. My comments about the $40 cable besting a well regarded $1100 c... | |
| Dont laugh Al, all three are xlr cables. These are being used from the Jenson input transformer into my Aesthetex Atlas amp. | |
| Dont laugh Ya, I have had extending listening with all three cables. I would keep one in For several days and then another, plus I would a/b on certain songs etc...This has been a revelation to say the least. | |
| Dont laugh Well based on these comments I made a set of Mogami 2534 xlr cables. I compared these to two other cables in my system. One that costs $1100 new and the other $400 new. I paid about $40 to build the Mogami cables.Don't laugh, but the Mogami sounds... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Devilboy, it is great when you find something like the LS in your system that really works perfectly and exceeds all your expectations. Very excited for you!I tried the LS in another system and it simply did not work. But reading everything here I... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Well the thing is this Paul. The LS sounded glorious in my system. Really downright glorious. The Atlas is a tube amp at heart in the way it sounds. It is a beautiful sounding amp. Quite special.The LS sounded amazing and let the Atlas and my spea... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Well, I am taken back. The Atlas amp I own is high gain(26 db) if memory serves. It is also a zero feedback design. It has a measured input impedance of 570k ohms. It has a rated input sensitivity of: 60mV for 1W output, 2.3V for full power.If thi... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I am using an Aesthetix Atlas Hybrid amp with a 6sn7 input stage. | |

| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Thanks Al. I will check into the cable capacitance to be sure I am doing all I can for best sound. | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Update. The use of a Jensen input transformer under the brand Iso Max completely removed the buzz to a dead silence. Simply place the input transformer between the amp and preamp. Single ended preamp into the Jensen Iso Max using my RCA ic's and o... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Jognsonwu, thanks for your insight. I am not sure how to wire such a resistor as my amp has a circuit board for each input tube/channel. Hard, if not impossible , for me to wire in a 1k resistor. Wish the amp was point to point wired! It may be po... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Correction the grid stop resistor should measure over 1000 ohms and often is a very high value. |
