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?

Cbw723,Will a less expensice laptop other than the MacBook Pro work and sound just as good? I really may jump in....

Ok, I'm in now!

I will wait as the prices are going down and the sound is improving. Also, more user friendly systems are coming out.Why not wait? I still have my CD's, still have music to play and am not missing out of the end result - music!I think that is pret...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
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... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
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... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I have one comment or concern that I see in this otherwise great thread. It seems when one person has a different experience or opinion on this preamp their comments are dismissed and marginalized very quickly by some. The reason must be system m...

No, not for high end. They still sound better to my ear :-) I love to handle the CD and am not near ready for diving into computer based audio. Still to much change and improvements for me to jump into it just yet. 
Any one ever replace caps or modify there Xovers
Yes, by all means replace the caps, resistors or any parts that are of low quality. Would a $10,000 - $15,000 speaker use a $15 cap and other lower quality parts? Yes is the answer.Simply read the value and replace! I did so on my Sound Lab speake... 
Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ??
Interesting points on noise. While I tend to agree with Tvad and Mapman as noise through my speakers drives me crazy....What about all the noises in one's listening room that are certainly louder then some hiss trough speakers or mechanical transf...
