| Thought on OTL tube amps I use a Sunfire Signature 600 x 2 amp that has been completely gone through with power supply caps replaced and some other work to get it up to and beyond spec.I know many will quickly dismiss this amp based on the "Sunfire" brand. I have not hear... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Fiddler, you are for some reason quite short with me in your remarks. No reason to be so strong with me and this is why.1) My last posts had nothing to do with tubes at all. You keep bringing up the active preamp I own and digging up past posts th... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09"Passives don't extract anything. They just pass an attenuated signal. Your source is extracting the music off the medium."Passives behave more as you say above. I am suggesting an active or any other part of a stereo system certainly extrac... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Pubul57Good questions and they reflect what I am trying to better understand. I am not an expert on these technical questions and feel the questions are reasonable, but would like a better understanding of this topic. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Ok, based on the reasoning that less parts and simplicity ALWAYS is truer to the source and more accurate, then this SS preamp certainly must deliver a perverted or somehow “additive” portrayal of the music compared to the LSA….. Also no tubes in ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Deep is right, but I love it! Good stuff and we are getting closer to the truth. I think we all "get it" to be frank and we are just starting to communicate. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09No problem. Enjoy the music! | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09I assumed my point was clear. Sorry. Yes that was the example I gave for Fiddler on the obvious pushing of the LSA.That's all. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Ok, please don’t yell at me Fiddler. Please read George’s post below. Seems pretty clear he is saying it is the most accurate means to hearing recorded music. He implies this on his LSA vs all other attempts at a preamp. He has said this same thin... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Tube test complete - no ringing or any bad noises at all. Listened to Van and enjoyed it lots!I have rolled quite a few 6sn7's in my active preamp over the past two years and have never had a microphonic tube issue as an fyi.Knghifi, funny stuff. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yep Clio09 your points on the high end builders are interesting. Your real life example with the Transcendent amp is a great example. Ok, time to listen to Van the Man with my microphonic tubes:-) Van's voice seemed you ring more when he was young... | |
| 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... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 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 |
