| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Mine are clear glass. I have not seen a smoked before? Mine are not thick at all and rather neutral and tonally wonderful. | |
| Onda Cables RMAF, anyone hear them or opinions ? I forgot and did not or do not know the company. Older age setting in I guess.I like Fusion Romance! | |
| Onda Cables RMAF, anyone hear them or opinions ? How much for them Pat? | |
| Fusion Audio Romance series cables I also use his Romance IC's and think they as good as you say. Keepers for sure! | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I do want my system to sound like the natural sound of an instrument or voice un-amplified electronically. A piano for example is the most difficult to get right. That is where I really miss the weight and scale on the LSA as well as large Orchest... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks all for the great thread of life here. Van the Man has the same hefty and full bodied voice on all of his last CD's recorded over the past 20 years or so. I simply don't get that or the 3D stage of the recording or live performance with the... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? No, it is the recording my preamp has more fidelity to, not distortion etc... I have heard Van Morrison live on many an occasion and the weight and heft of his voice is missing on the LSA compared to the active. Sorry, but them there are the simpl... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Pubul57 - Seems I have written pages :-) on this yet no understanding of my point? It may be impossible and that's OK!A "direct connection" as you say, is as I say, just another STEREO SYSTEM and produces a sound of its own. Direct connection from... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Got it and understand it perfectly Georgelofi. Did this several times on past systems after reading about on A. Salvatore's site.Tony (Clio09) - thanks again for letting me play with the LSA. Great fun and I always learn more. You are welcome anyt... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? That being said, the LSA/Music Reference RM10 is about as good as it gets for $2,400 new as long as 35 watts is enough."I bet this is a true statement based on my experience with both units and dependent on the speakers used.Killer value on both i... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Transparency means something far different to me. To me it has nothing to do with how the inclusion of a new piece of gear "changes" the resulting sound. That fact needs another word - not transparency IMHO. Transparency refers to how see through ... | |
| 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... |
