| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? This is a great thread. Agear is spot on about the LSA or any passive /active preamp doing something to the sound as signal does flow though unit hardware and such :-)The LSA was at 75% of full volume in my system to get 90db of sound as an FYI.Ge... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Tvad, you understand me correctly. Sorry I should have been more clear perhaps. Further, so we can get on more common ground around this topic, I feel the software/recording used to judge accuracy should be one that is very close to live sound - a... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Perhaps the 2D forwardness speaks more to my system synergy then to anything else. This may well be the case as I have no way of really knowing.Tvad's point is understood. I guess I always felt the point of a good stereo system was to recreate the... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? "That to me is an indication of the LSA's transparency and faithfulness to the source, and a lack of transparency in The Dude. By transparency I am referring to lack or presence of coloration"Let me further explain as I think my statement needs mo... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I should also point out that the LSA is a champ at bringing all of the detail and parts of the music into the front row. I was hearing instument lines that on my Dude were more muted or set-back. Some may really like this. This is what really got ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I forgot to add that my Soundlab speakers are very revealing and I would not consider them warm sounding. My Atma-sphere amps are also quite revealing and I would not consider them warm sounding. The LSA is also very revealing and with it in my sy... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have had the fortune of playing with this Lightspeed preamp/attenuator over the past 10 or so days thanks to Tony (Clio09). Thank you Tony for giving me this great opportunity. I have tried several passive units in the past and the LSA is the be... | |
| Warming-Up Amps w/o Inputs or Speakers Attached Don't do it with tube amps. | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Ya, I wish I could afford the MA2's as the heat is no problem here in Minnesota. I welcome the heat most of the time. | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps I love the sound of the Atma-sphere MA1's on my Soundlabs, but I wish I had a bit more power.Up to 85 db or so they are so sweet and intimate. The bass has great foundation and weight.My amps are still breaking in and I must remember that. They ha... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Tony was very kind to let me play with his Lightspeed unit. I really appeciate his kindness. I will post comments once I have heard more kinds of music etc... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp The only Marconi tubes I have seen or used are the black base ones with either white or red Marconi lettering on them. Both sound great.I am not sure about the detail of build and must let one with more tech knowledge answer about plates etc...Sorry | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I am sure these wonderful Supratek preamps would sound great with OTL amps! | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps I just had my Atma-sphere MA1's updated to the latest 3.1 version (from 2.2) plus all options available have been added.I have got to share that the current upgrades are a revelation for this amp. Wow does this amp now sing. So rich and glorious w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I posted my comments above on the wrong thread. Sorry, should be on this thread - Thought on OTL tube amps |
