| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Georgelofi,What comes after the source can only be corrupted by more electronics, it cannot fix a "bad" cdp dac or cd. It can only add corruptions, colourations, distortions and euphonics. There is no magic preamp that can add bits or remove disto... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I don't have an issue with George attracting sale via Agon through his participation in the thread. The man is in business to make a living so however sales are generated, it's fine with me. I don't agree with some of his statements and wish he co... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Pubul57, you a good guy. Thanks for having a good sense of humor :-) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Wow!! Out shopping and dinner and missing all the fun. For the record,1. I highly recommend the LSA and I plan to use it in my system ... it's all in my initial report.2. I never said my stuff is the best. I can only report what I hear in MY syste... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? That's my point, there are no perfect cds (over 80% are compressed. I like the music but recording sucks), source and interconnects. By the time the signal reaches the preamp, it has been altered. So what you are saying is if you like the sound of... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? George, I don't understand how the preamp not altering the signal from the source will accomplish what the recording engineer wants you to hear? Is it even possible?By the time the signal gets to the preamp, it has already been altered (tone contr... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 12-30-10: Clio09$13,550 is a lot of spare change. The way things are going right now I might be able to turn that into $50,000 here in Las Vegas by the end of football season:)Don't forget all the tubes :-) It's the law of diminishing returns ... ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 12-30-10: GeorgelofiOK now here's the truth from the horses mouth, the Lightspeed was seeing a happy load and Grannyrig check your facts before you double swear it was 100k inputGrannying was talking about his Atma-Sphere Ma-1 OTL Tube Amps in his... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I just report what I (and several audiophile friends) hear and didn't felt I was attacked. But I do understand Grannyring point in Georges questioning of the Samson input impedance, which can be construded negatively, after it was confirmed by mul... | |
| top 5 preamps under $1,200 12-28-10: PdspeclI once had an Audible Illusions Modulus 3. Sounded nice but the brand new National 6922 tubes only lasted about 200 hours. Be sure to use Russian miltary spec tubes if you get the AI preamp.I have 2 friends still using their Audib... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Paul told me the TRL Samsons input impedance is 68kohms. From my experiences with many Krells and Pass amps in the past using different tube preamps, there are NO impedance issues between the TRL Samson and LSA. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Pubul57, now it's cold, just cleared 18" of snow and heating oil is up $1 a gallon since last refill, it's a good excuse to shop for a very hot and big mono tube amp again :-) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 12-28-10: FiddlerKnghifi,Question. Are you listening to the LSA with new RCA IC's?Fiddler (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Both RCA ICs are dealer demos and I've logged ~250+ additional hours on them so are fully broken in. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? RCA ICs finally arrived and here's my .02. LSA is a very good match for my system. For most of my listening, the volume control is between 8 and 9 o'clock and 11 max. My 2 sources are MW Transporter rolling 6sn7 and TRL Sony SACD player, EW Andra ... | |
