| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi Paul,Yes, your speculation regarding my use of SS amps (Threshold&Pass Labs) with a tube based preamp in my system vs your use of tube based amps with a passive preamp makes sense to me. You get what tubes have to offer the body of the harm... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? My dear Fiddler,Thanks for your kind words towards my self description. Remember any time you want that autographed picture for your wall, please let me know and I'll ship it right out to ya. Happy regards from "THE ARROGANT BASTARD" | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi Paul,To answer your question regarding why in my system an active preamp sonicly out performs any of the passives I have owned or auditioned is based on either the gain or buffering they offer: Don't have the foggist notion why from a technolog... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Dear Fiddler,You really pulled out of your ass the idea that I even impiled any type of censorship or that George does not have the right to post his opinion on any thread including this one. Just another way of deflecting what I was really addres... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? First to Grannyring,Thanks for pointing out that the major and really only criticism, with a few exceptions regarding other posters nasty responses about me and my opinion on Paul's thread, has been the repeated posts of George not to educate and ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Fiddler,This has been gone over before on this thread that George's motivation has nothing to do with financial gain,but is just sharing from the goodness of his heart.Directly to your two points:1) What he charges for the LSA is very reasonable, ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hey Clio09,I get a kick out of your phrase, "well deal with it", as if I'm losing sleep over the drivel that George keeps pushing for his own finacial gain.I believe that you have entrenched your self in a position for what ever reason to be an ad... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi Paul,I believe that you have always been a gentleman who has contributed much to the GON members with your opinions, knowledge, and experience with different pieces of gear.That's not a setup to now get you, I really believe what I just said, h... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I just got through reading Sam's Space in the October issue of Stereophile and have to give the old boy for nailing why this thread really says the same thing over and over again and gets no were really at all.Tellig has really changed his positio... | |
| Best 6SN7 Pre Amp tubes? Both these tubes offer an improvement over regular new stock 6SN7's, however both are left in "the sonic dust" by NOS Tung Sol Blackplate Oval plate 6NS7's. They offer sonic beauty and give the illusion of sounding just like real music. If you wan... | |
| What Are The Best 12AT7's and 12AX7's? I can't comment on 12AT7's because I never had a piece of gear that used them.I have in my 12AX7 collection over 50 pairs of tubes from all the European and American companies. Famous Mullards, Amperex Bugle Boys, Telefunkens, Mazdas, etc.If your... | |
| Why are Pass such a good match with Maggies? Hasse,Because the combination of Pass and Maggies make "music" together. Look at my reviews here on the GON regarding how my Pass Labs XA-60.5's, I biamp MG 20's, for the details regarding the sonics of this matchup. | |
| What do you think about your Grand Veenas? Hi Jdurrett,The Veenas are one of my favorite box enclosure speakers regardless of price. They are easy to drive, and I have heard them both with SS and tubes, either way they still "sang" with great musicality. I'm a planer guy when it comes to s... | |
| XA 30.5 or mod S/500? Hi Cippoliner,I use a pair of Threshold SA-1's and Pass Labs XA 60.5's to power my MG-20's. They are both great amps, however Nelson Pass's latest XA.5 series are his best sounding amps of his long great design career. |
