| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Glad to here their a few more of us "dealers" out there. I was getting a little worried George wasn't building a large enough network to push product out the door to the masses:) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? If Teajay asked that of Paul I certainly missed it too. Not sure why it's even logical to ask of either of us. In any case I have no business relationship with George.I'm not attempting to design and sell tube amps, I am actually doing it, preamps... | |
| Will Vincent "Dynaco" Amps The kit offered by Kevin Carter at K&K Audio has always been of interest to me. Turns the original 35 watts per side into 10 watts triode. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? What doesn't make sense Andrew?Seems like it made sense to Al who replied that my methods reinforced the meaningfulness of my tests. I as well as many others around here respect his opinion. Have you tried these tests yourself?I sense you're about... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Al - agree with your point on ground loops, especially if the resulting noise is 60Hz hum. That is why if I suspect a ground loop I use the Jensen plugs to determine the component that is responsible. As I suspect you know, as you are familiar wit... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have talked to two other designers of pre-amps who disagree with the fundamental premise behind the superiority of light-based volume controls. That does not make them right, but the gospel according to George is just that. Gospel to some and ap... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Okay I got it. Thanks | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Link doesn't work. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Regarding the question on the diode effect. For those that missed it or don't recall it George explains it as follows: The (diode thingy) "diode effect" is bought around by very fast music transients from the source, CDP or phono, which can be in ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? For those interested in the Warpspeed:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/vendors-bazaar/176847-warpspeed-optocoupler-volume-control.htmlhttp://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap-meet/178839-warpspeed-optocoupler-volume-control-kit.htmlWould love to get Geor... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? George, You, I, and your tube gurus will just have to agree to disagree on this one. I think there could be more to this than we know and if so it may give you and some of the tube gurus the information needed to fully understand the circuit desig... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? CF-080 is single ended only. The designer, in addition to well informed opinions on impedance matching, implements single ended circuits to take advantage of short signal paths and to keep things simpler. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have just received some information regarding the output impedance of the Concert Fidelity CF-080 that should put the discussion to rest. According to the designer, the 33k ohm output impedance is an incorrect assumption. In addition to the tube... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? At full price the LSA isn't going to break the bank. It's a very low risk proposition. That's one reason I like it so much. Of course that it works optimally in my system is another. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Just ran into this thread. Seems another LDR attenuator has been making the rounds as a DIY kit. There is a balanced version available as well. Not sure technology wise what the differences are with the LSA, but thought some of you here might be c... |
