| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? That is correct, buffers are there to drive long interconnects, and or low input impedance amps. There is no perfect buffer they all sound different As there is no perfect interconnect they all sound different, unless the amp is so low in input im... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? From what we have learnt and heard for myself, the only way to make all interconnects invisible (sound the same) with no sonic signature, is to have the poweramp input impedance at 1kohm or less, this then becomes a hard load for the pre to drive ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You are right Pubul57, the momment you start to lower a digital based volume control, you start to whats called "bit strip" the name says it all, and this lowers the resoution. Aways leave it full up when using in conjuction whith the Lightspeed.B... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The 0.25mV 103D into my phono pre+active stepup's 64dB gain yielded 0.4V, that just didn't cut it into either of my amps, especially the 1.5V monoblocks. Looking at those measuremnts you should have had 2.65v output more than most cdp's. You eithe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 09-09-10: Darkmoebius But, it did pose a problem playing vinyl w/ low output cartridges. I needed the extra gain of an active preamp or a phono pre with a lot more gain. DarkmoebiusStrange? I have lots of Lightspeed Attenuator customers that use v... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? DarkmoebiusAs we all know, it is almost impossible to know which component is "true" and others are additive, or subtractive(except for truly bad components), unless one was present for the actual recording session. As to knowing what is the "true... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I also use a Lithium Ion rechargable sometimes, I hear a difference but cannot pinpoint what it is, even on a very hi rez system. They say the Lithium Ion has the least chemical bubble noise of all batteries. Sometimes I forget which one I have on... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? About buffers, I will always say the best buffer is no buffer if your system meets the following impedance requirements. If your source output impedance is less than 200ohm and your poweramp input impedance is more than 47Kohm then the Lightspeed ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? ClipsalI also would like to know the poweramp used in this shootout and also the CDP or DAC.Cheers George | |
| "Dead Can Dance", what is your impression? Did you guys know the female singer Lisa Gerard, also does the last 3 tracks off the sound track to Gladiator the movie, she makes up here own language when she sings it, bit like gobelity gook, sounds great but don't ask me what she saying. Cheer... | |
