Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Clio09, nice job indeed and I have a question for you and all. Seems then all the high end preamps, tube or SS, costing up to $100,000 that are not passive, just can't get it right? Or should I say as right as a passive?Wonder why all of these man... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Perhaps a good way to look at this topic is as follows;Let's assume this for starters. Let's compare three systems. All 3 systems fit the ideal specs needed for a passive like the Lightspeed. We all agree on what sounds the most real and pleases u...

Knghifi, I made the exact same point on this thread a while back. I follow what you are saying and it strikes me as the correct way to look at this. This is a very interesting discussion and the main reason I keep looking at this thread.I tried th... 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
Cbw723I plan to buy a Mac mini, cheap laptop, and set-up a backup storage bank. My son will help me as he is well versed.I will post a question on the Ayre vs other DAC's. I like a full, rich sound that is not at all fatiguing.Thanks much.Bill 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
Amen Blindjim,When I go to burn my CD's using Pure Music ( I assume) can someone tell me what I choose for best sound - 16bit/44.1 ???I am new so be easy on me.Also, must I have a MAC laptop for best synergy and sound or will any laptop do? 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
Cbw723,Will a less expensice laptop other than the MacBook Pro work and sound just as good? I really may jump in....

Georgelofi, I think you misread my comments and want to clarify for you. You stated;“Grannyrig check your facts before you double swear it was 100k input.”I actually said this;“I can tell you the Samson amps by TRL do have the input impedance spec... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Georgelofi, I did check my facts. I said my Atmasphere MA1 amps were 100K? Please read above. I said Knghifi's Samson amps were over 47K and just as Knghifi stated - 68K.I never said the Samson amps were 100K. Not sure where you got that George. Y...

Fair enough Clio09. I agree with your thoughts and let’s move on. I and Knghifi were not attacked and I did overstate that a bit. Ya, I did purchase the preamps in the threads you posted. Liked them both. I will always tell the Agon community of g... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Fiddler, I am not whining at all but making a reasonable point. Sorry you are upset. I am not talking about cheerleading at all and want to hear it when someone has found a great piece.Seems I am being attacked for no real reason by you. That is t...

Fiddler, Please what? 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Clio09 is certainly most open minded and fair. Pubul57 has also been fair. I suppose the builder is the one I was thinking about. I was careful in my post not to point the finger at all. Good little preamp and has gone head to head and won some im...
