| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? My LSA has arrived it now does volume control for my Esoteric X-03 into a pair of tube Acoustat servo amps on my Acoustat X speakers.Previously I was using the line inputs of my Manley Steelhead into the Acoustats.The walwart is plugged into a Hyd... | |
| Fuses that matter. Why is it that the folks who use the AMR or Supremes( I've got both)describe the effects of the fuses with the same descriptive language?Or, in other words,different gear, but a similar sonic description of the improvements.My position then is tha... | |
| Anyone modded a Steelhead? Still waiting for the Lightspeed.I use Amperex Holland factory bugle 6922, and also some nice Seimans gold pin E 88c(6922) for awhile,both have their own characteristics, yet both better than the EH 6922.I've used the original 7044 and the replace... | |
| Fuses that matter. Pardon my inability to grasp the intent of your statement Tbg.I stated that the AMR fuses made the same type of improvement in my amps as the 4 times more expensive Supremes.If a buss fuse costs a buck,and an AMR Gold costs $20.00,which sounds alm... | |
| Fuses that matter. My initial impression of the AMR fuses in my Acoustat servo amps is that they share all the positive attributes of the Supremme fuse for 1/4 the cost.If there are any tradeoffs, in my system, the AMR fuses are a bit more mid range oriented,a bit l... | |
| Fuses that matter. I've received my shipment of AMR fuses.Very good service from the folks at Avatar.There were three of us in on the deal, so when all the impressions are in I'll post them.One thing I would like to find out for us, is if there is any concensus on t... | |
| Anyone modded a Steelhead? Whart,your description of the sound is similar to mine.I still have a hard time understanding why this is so.I run the Steelhead into old (but modded) Acoustat servo tube amps, so there's 4 tubes in each amp and four in the Steelhead, you'd think ... | |
| Anyone modded a Steelhead? Running the Steelhead into a pre , as I said isn't the solution I am looking for.Too may variables, extra components, wiring, electrical cords, to name a couple of potential pitfalls.I more than likely would get some extra meat on the bone, but wh... | |
| Turning lead into gold ? I've grown more accustomed to the sound of the Clearaudio cartridge.Just as I had to the Grado in a different turntable set up.I pretty much changed my whole system , the only constant was the Grado.It never sounded as good on the P9 as it did on ... | |
| $10 vs $100 power plug If spending 100 bucks worries you, then don't bother.That's not to say that you shouldn't do it.I'm just saying that if you are looking for a BIG sound difference, you will be disappointed spending that hundred bucks.There's lots of things to cons... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Quick cable swaps may or may not be why double blind testing has varying results.That quick snap judgement call of a power cord's performance usually changes over time.What you may not hear/or like could change as the cable settles in with the sys... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Yes the more solar flares there are the worse it gets.That's why something has to be done.Whenever I hear about a cosmic storm heading my way I duck and cover myself with my shunyata power snakes.They are shielded afterall. | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes No I don't have five systems, just the on going changes over the past few years to my main dedicated 2 channel system.I suppose I should update.What has remained constant are the Shunyata Annaconda power cords and Hydra conditioner for the front e... | |
| Fuses that matter. Avatar/AMR got back to me.I will be ordering fuses for my amps and for some of my friends.I'll post again with my impressions compared to Supreme fuses, and with their impressions compared to stock fuses. | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes I think this hobby has room for all types of music lovers.Just like some folks hooked on cars like to tinker and add turbo chargers better tires ,and upgraded performance parts, other folks are content to just drive them the way they came off the ... |
