| The future of preamps I reaaly like the way the LSA allows the music to pass thru it without adding much.I use it for my CD player,and I also run my Steelhead(volume at full)thru it.I think the quality of the volume control can alter the sound of the system,and if you ... | |
| DIY AC cable...which bulk cable? Haven't tried spades yet, but I did improve the connection of the stranded copper wires from Furutech into Furutech power plugs.Simply twisting the strands together using pliers(clockwise-counterclockwise,you decide)made for an almost solid core w... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I'll post my impressions.First impressions, and then after a few days of play. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? $59.00 US dollars to my door.$15.00 of which is shipping.I used Paypal so a little extra charge on my final bill.Isn't this hobby all about improvement?That's why I ordered the unit,hoping it will improve the sound of the LSA.I am pretty sure it w... | |
| Turntables and power conditioners? If you really think about it, why would a turntable be immune to the vagaries of the power?If you think your cd player or preamp sound better with a decent power cord, or that you've discovered they sound better in a power conditioner,why would an... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thank you George,I have just ordered one.Compared to the walwart I've been using, this looks like a very well made piece for reasonable money.I have been very pleased with the performance of the LSA as it is,this looks like it should improve thing... | |
| Upgrade suggestions for Stacked Quad ESL 57 system I think you have a very good system,I've owned stacked Quad 57 and ran them with AtmaSphere amp and pre-amp,and also with a 1961 Bell integrated tube amp.They have a sound which draws you into the music, at least that's what my audio friends used ... | |
| Are Rodgers ls3/5a as good as advertise? & Why I traded in a pair of JBL Jubal L65 for a brand new pair of 15 ohm Rogers LS 3/5A which sold new for $400.00.Today I still have to wonder what people see about either speaker that would inflate their prices.Back in those days I powered the Rogers(... | |
| Speaker placement I have owned some multy driver cone speakers that need to be set back so that the drivers are more time aligned,like my last cone speakers the Ref 3 Grand Veena.I tried to rake them by increasing the height of the back spikes and I liked it,but yo... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords THanks for the link to the Audio Critic.I was a subscriber since day one as I was with TAS and Stereophile.I missed the OLD AudioCritic, before Peter came back and started on his revenge/vendetta against the High End.He felt ostracized I guess,his... | |
| Speaker placement I guess I should clarify that I don't find the speaker placement issue a bad thing.I've always appproached this hobby as a work in progress. Here's one thing that I've done that's given me some help in arriving at where my speakers are now-more ra... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords I am also a musician, and I've tried a couple of DIY power cords on my Mesa Boogie bass amp.I will also say that there is not much point in spending big bucks on a power cord for it.But it is not the same with my high end audio components.We are n... | |
| tube amps and electrostatics My observations over the years has led me to believe that you either are a stat/planar lover or a cone lover.Sometimes people shift sides over the years,for whatever reasons, but I have known more folks to stay in the planar/stat side of the speak... | |
| Turntables and power conditioners? I have an SME 10/V arm combo,the power cord is a Shunyata Annaconda Helix going into a Shunyata 8 on a dedicated 20 amp line for the front end components.THis is much better than when I ran a stock power cord, then a cheaper upgraded PC. The Hydra... | |
| Speaker placement My speakers are like gypsies, they are never in the same place for very long.Everytime I THINK I have found the sweet spot(Acoustat monitor X)I think I can do better and so I move them,a bit more forward, a bit further apart, a bit closer to the s... |
