Has anyone here tried the Lightspeed Attenuator?


I have been reading about this on the DIY forum. I was wondering if anyone here at Audiogon has been using this device and with what level of success. I am currently using the Sonic euphoria with my vintage Beveridge 2sw Electrostatics (with self contained OTL amps) to good effect. I am wondering whether going to the Lightspeed would be an upgrade for a very modest price?

I own one too. Bought it based on a post here from dgarettson and reading that entire DIYAudio thread. It was an improvement over my K&K S&B TVC passive preamp and just as good as my JRDG Capri. Unfortunately I'm planning on staying with a balanced set-up so maybe I'll use the Lightspeed in a bedroom system in the future. Rest assured though, it can definitely play in a main system.
Thanks Clio and Fiddler. Clio, how was the Lightspeed better than your passive? Fiddler, I saw you many times on the Supratek thread. How is the Lightspeed better than you old preamp? Bob
More dynamics and slam versus a TVC passive. It made the TVC sound like it was compressing the music a bit.

I have lent mine to another audiophile and we'll be doing a comparison tonight in his system. I'll post my thoughts once the listening is done.
Listened to the Lightspeed in a system that included a Rawson DIY F-5 amp and Audio Consulting TVC. The source was a Mac feeding a new USB DAC made by Doug Jesse. The Lightspeed gave up nothing to the Audio Consulting TVC. In fact I thought it was more transparent. Completely got out of the way.
