| UPgradeing dedicated line components If such a reactor based system made the music sound better then I'm in favour of it.It's all about the music afterall.Just respect the music by doing all you can to reproduce as much of it as is possible.What good is ten thousand lps' when all you... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? George, that's not going to happen.He's perfectly content with the way his system has been voiced and the ARC pre amp is almost the least costly component in this set up.As much as I would like to do the comparison, it's not going to happen, and I... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? What I have learned is that volume controls even run wide open into a passive pre still have colourations.The manley Steelhead is still a good phono/preamp in a vinyl ,cd set up.You really don't need another preamp to be satisfied.That was the way... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? About 1 O'clock,and that's with the gain of the Manley set at 50db, the lowest setting. | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components I understand my set up is not in compliance,but it works for me.The wires are not in contact with any carpets or surfaces that could become flammable.I think I have read about fires starting with electric wiring buried behind dry wall and wood fra... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? If most in this hobby have been weaned off 18 guage lamp cord for speaker wires(maybe not)and use something more substantial,while also using some aftermarket interconnects,I would think that an aftermarket power cord would be the next logical ste... | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components I run three dedicated lines from 20 amp breakers using #10 solid core romex.Not a fancy professional job, but the results are worth the effort.I run one line directly from the panel into my Shunyata power conditioner using a Furutech 20 amp connec... | |

| Phase inverting problem Thanks Ralph for the clarification.It's great to have the real reasons behind what we are hearing explained.Noise is something that you never know you have until you do something that lessens it,hence I will be doing more experimentation with load... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I now use the fixed output on my Steelhead,bypassing the volume control of the manley.This has further improved my enjoyment of the LSA.Using the LSA with the Esoteric cd player into my amps was very revealing, and my old way of running the Manley... | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components I envy you.If I could I would do the same.Looking forward to your posts. | |
| Need "warm" interconnects advice All gear has a "sound"Unless someone gave you your system, you put it together by yourself.The voicing of this gear has to appeal to your "innervoice".And believe me, over time, this inner voice changes as you mature and really start to listen to ... | |
| Phase inverting problem I sort of figured things out.Reading past reviews, all seemed to say that running the Steelhead in the fixed output mode into a pre amp( LSA in my case)would be better sounding, so using it as a phono stage minus the volume control is what I've se... | |
| Phase inverting problem I have a Manley Steelhead which I run full tilt into a Lightspeed Attenuator and then into a pair of mono blocks.I assume everything is phase correct.Cd is run directly into the LSA and to the amps.To my ears the cd sound is much fuller,which both... | |
| KEF LS50 vs. Monitor Audio Silver2 My friend just traded in his LS50's.His room is average size ,he listens at moderate to low levels,and nothing he listens to has large scale dynamics.He also listens in the near field and he has added room treatment devices in the corners and firs... |
