| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Has anyone compared the $14,000 Music First TVC with the $450 LSA? I have to imagine that price difference has nothing whatesover to do with sound quality. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Cardas GR. | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line Yeah, "one of the world's...." would have been more appropriate and accurate - not sure he would sell one more amp by claiming the crown. Yet, a very important designer he certainly is, and good to know he is staying in the business with a new ven... | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line At $42,000 you would think a boutique in LA, Chi, Dallas, and New York would do the trick, ala Cello | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line Did not know he was no longer with Krell, when and why did that happen? | |
| Art Audio VPL Mk II and VP1 Mk II Has anyone used this linestage? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I should have thought about that, take that over remote cotrol any day. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Owned the Ars Sonum (twice:)) Most recently I have owned CAT SL1 Ultimate, Lamm LL2, ARC LS25, Dodd Battery, Joule LA 150MKII Signature Edition, Placette Active Linestage and RVC, K&K TVC, and the BENT TAP AVC. Of that batch, the Joule was my ... | |
| solid state vs tubes "Choose the one you like and be happy." Well, that makes perfect sense. Unfortunately when a compulsive necessity to have "the best" turns into obsession, we don't always make sense and then next thing you know the music is secondary to the equipm... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? One thing that would be nice in the LSA, and most modern preamps, though it might "ruinous" or a least "deleterious", is a scheme for balance control to account for recodring mixes, room geometry, and human frailty as we age - not sure how many ea... | |
| solid state vs tubes I have to agree with Phaelon and Tvad that to meet what I find to be tube virtues, it is essential that they be in the amp, upstream tubes with SS amps is simply not the same thing, that took a long time to figure out, especially given what seems ... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps My feeling too in upgrading to M60 3.1. The M60s replaced my beloved CAT JL2s which is a great amp, but with my speakers, which are very easy to drive, I prefered the Atma-sphere - my thought being that OTLs by Atma-sphere and Joule are pretty tou... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I like the idea of blind listening sessions, why are so many audiophiles and reviewers agaisnt it, or at least to believe in it as a effective method for assessment? That always seemed odd to me. Yes, it would be a good idea to do such a test abse... | |
| Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps Decware has that same facility, giving you a gain range from 0v to 36v - Something that should be built into any preamp IMHO, interesting these two guys do it in their <$1000 preamps. | |
| Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps I've been going back and forth on which of these to get. I've owned some top tube preamps from Joule, CAT, ARC, and Lamm, and they were all wonderful. Would really like to see if a simple, well engineered, and inexpensive design can be just as sat... |
