Passive Preamps? Anyone?

Received the Lightspeed and have had a chance to listen for a bit. This little piece is pretty amazing. Dead quiet and excellent dynamics. Better than my previous K&K TVC that used S&B transformers and better than any other resistor based passives I have heard. I've always been partial to transformer based passives, but the Lightspeed is quickly changing that opinion.

How about the Adcom preamps. Are they as good as Stereophile makes them out to be???

Clio, where did you buy Lightspeed? I've been thinking of getting a Bent Tap-x (again) with the autoformers, as I've decided to stay passive with the Music Reference amp.

Pubul57, I'm traveling on business but I can get you George's email address when I get home Wednesday. Go over to DIY.com (do a search with "lightspeed") and read the thread as well. Very interesting stuff. Also, if you'd like to try one out first let me know. I'm not using mine right now and I'm happy to lend it to you.

Higuys,I am the manufacturerof the"Lightspeed Attenuator" in Australia that has been mentioned in these posts. If you need info and pics of the unit you can (PM)from here or email me ( georgehifi at optusnet.com.au ) and supply your email address and I'll send out the info and pics and circuit diagrams to you.
Just to correct the price of the "Lightspeed Attenuator" it is $398usd posted and insured.
Cheers George from Oz.
