| The best passive preamp Thank you spending all that time with all those topologies, and sharing your experiences over the years. I will give the MLA a listen, I'm sure is uses some very fine transformers, given the provenance:) Ultimately, I think the Lightspeed just fit... | |
| The best passive preamp What are the issues that the Electra-Print Magnetic Line Amplifier is trying to address that the Lightspeed Attenuator does not - under what circumstances would that design approach be preferable to the LSA and other "simple" resistor-based attenu... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? One type of passive I have not tried are the EVS and Endler types. While I get the idea behind why the LSA without contacts would be beneficial, it also seems that EVS/Endler approach might have some theoretical advantage, no worries about IC capa... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I think Uriah, just sells kits, no? | |
| The best passive preamp What does stepping up the voltage mean? What is the benefit? That has nothing to do with gain, right? | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore I guess my comments were driven by the fact that I love the P/E type of sound and as Marty said the two brands do sound quite different from each other and it is true that folks will gravitate to one or the other - not better or worse, but a diffe... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? When you get tired of switching amps every few years (months), whichever one you have may be a keeper for life - if you are old enough. | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? No manufacturer that designed a great circuit the 1965, from a 1940s recipe would still be in business selling the same thing - even it was as good as it gets. While immature technologies evolve quickly, a preamp circuit is not one of them. Better... | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore Don't sell'em! I'm with Bjesien on the next move, if need be. | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player TV didn't kill the radio after all, did it. I think talk2me has it right, hi-rez is the future, but much further off than we think. And some folks simply like to own something real, not on the cloud. | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. I cannot imagine not being happy with either the Cardas or the Audience. If Bobby recommends them, you know they are going to work well. The Cardas "warmth" works wonderfully well with my neutral sounding OTLs and Music Reference RM10s. Bobby has ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore Linkster, do you mean in SS versus tubes sort of way? | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore I can't imagine having the Verity Parsifal Encores and thinking of any other speaker - simply great speakers. Buy more music:) | |
| The best passive preamp Anthony can you explain the MLA a bit. It uses a transformer to act as a buffer of sorts, but resistors to attenuate volume? Am I getting that right? | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? You tried the Canary with the NAD270? What is the sensitivity of the Quad 22s? They don't need much power, do they? As for passive, I think you would need something like the Goldpoint with a 10kohm pot and short ICs to drive the NAD properly. I ma... |
