| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I prefer the battery but like George cannot put my finger on exactly why. | |
| Top or best amps for merlin vsm I would say try the Atma-Sphere combo. However, if you already have an RM-10 you might be half way there. A former contributor to these forums, Pubul57 used the Atma-Sphere combo with his Merlin's. He also used an RM-10 paired with the Lightspeed ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Bill, want to hear something funny. You bought your RM-9 from my friend Warren. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I believe Audiogon member Dgarretson put an LDR volume control in his Atma-Sphere preamp. In fact he may have mentioned it in this thread somewhere. You might try pinging him. | |
| An impression of some phono stages So what is better? The phono stage that really lets you hear everything but might be a bit analytical. Or the phono stage that has more of own musicality to it but does add colouration.MordanteWhat you describe many of us ask ourselves. In this ca... | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 I am curious. Why would you not consider an Atma-Sphere amp, such as the M-60 monoblocks, to go with the MP-1 preamp? Also, perhaps you should try contacting VAC directly and encourage them to contact your dealer. Seems strange VAC did not respond... | |
| RCA output on a turntable? I once had a Bang & Olufsen Beogram 3300 turntable with a built in phono section. All that was required was plugging in the captive RCA cable to a preamp input. Very convenient and surprisingly good sounding. However, while that was a feasible... | |
| Office partitions as sound panels Marqmike, here are a couple of links. These differ slightly but the concept is very similar. You can actually hire someone trained in this process as well to do the set up for you. I just followed the methods described in the forum posts. You will... | |
| Office partitions as sound panels The Audio Physic and Sumiko Master Set speaker set up guides have been very useful to me. In fact, as I have become more familiar with their processes and using one or a combination of both of these methods to first set up and adjust the speakers,... | |
| Top or best amps for merlin vsm Regarding the M-60s it is possible to run them with less output tubes per channel. For example you can remove two output tubes per side. Less power and less heat are the results, but in this configuration you should still have more power than an S... | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 I used Audikinesis Jazz Modules with my VAC setup. Kevin Hayes uses Kingsound speakers. I believe he paired the Phi 200 with them at one of the past RMAF shows. You could email him and ask for speaker suggestions. He is a great guy to deal with. | |
| DIY Amp Preamp building I believe the M-60 is available as a kit again. Other sources for kits are Hagerman and K&K Audio. | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator I think there are a couple LDR passive preamps out there with remote and multiple inputs. The names escape me at the moment though.As for DIYing one perhaps the remote John Chapman sells could be put to use with a Lightspeed type design. Actually ... | |
| 12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help Duke's post is well worth noting and his speakers are well worth considering.BTW - I use his speakers and have used them in various sized rooms, one slightly bigger than yours.I remember him coming by once and he was amazed at how I had his speake... | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 VAC will deliver the goods. They do have a signature or house sound, and the components you have specifically identified are well respected in the industry and among hobbyists. I played all types of music with my VAC gear and was never disappointe... |
