| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have a cd player with 2 volts of output, but the only spec I can find on Impedance reads " load impedance over 10 kilohms". Not sure if this is suggesting the output impedance is 10,000 ohms! Does not seem possible!?The unit is a Sony dvp ns900v... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have a question regarding the relationship between a cd player's output impedance and the input impedance of the Lightspeed. I have read the cd or dac should have an output impedance of 200 ohms or lower. This seems to be needed even if all the ... | |

| TRL Dude Dilemna Yes Agear, some current SS and hybrid amps sound as you describe in your post. I like Electrocompaniet and my current Aesethix Atlas hybrid amp.However, remember that these high achieving SS amps will not always sound this way on ALL speakers and ... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Charles1dad you are spot on with your last comment. I will also add we Aphiles also change our minds on what we think is "awesome" sounding as time goes by. This is natural and expected. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Well yes, TRL makes tube amps that will drive any speaker, but they cost more then my budget will allow. He makes tube amps that put out up to 400 watts per channel and will drive 2 ohm impedances in the highs.I have two in college and kids must c... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Charles1dad, I hope to do just that. The more I "play" with gear the more I realize that total system synergy is very, very important. Perhaps I should just fork out the $$ and get TRL tube amps! I would love to hear your system should the opportu... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna The Aesthetix Atlas amp is special and compares very well to the best amps out there. The Dude is much better then the Aesthetix preamps I have heard in my system however. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Bug, that was very nice of you to lend out the Dude. Great to see fellow Aphiles being generous with each other and learning.Charles1dad, just read your comments on the Dude. Glad you liked it and had a chance to compare the two. I think you would... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna I am totally smitten by this Atlas amp. It is very refined sounding and reveals the inner detail of music wonderfully. It has the best tone of any high power amp I have heard. It is not at all forward sounding, but rather more nuanced and in contr... |
