| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Pubul57Agreed, Sam did not NEED and active, but WANTED one. He does not NEED the CJ Art pre, but would like/wanted one!No NEED for an active in terms of function many times, however some desire one for the resulting sound benefit they perceive in ... | |
| Preamp for Pass Pubul57,You're correct as I misread the spec sheet on the site I found. | |
| The Audiophile's Wife My wife tells me she has all kinds of fuel to fan her creative writings. This week for instance I am playing with some open baffle, highly efficient speakers. I will drive several hours to pick them up in their 150 pound crates. They are pretty ug... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I just received the October issue of Stereophile. Please read Sam's Space as I swear I could have written that piece! He does a nice job explaining why some like actives in his well written and balanced article on preamps. Nice job Sam!I could not... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Jburidan, I think you have no impedance synergy issues:-) | |
| Preamp for Pass I just looked it up. If the poster is using the RCA jacks, then the ARC LS26 as an output inpedance of 20k ohms. This will be a big issue, poor match, with the Pass amp.If he uses the balanced outs, then all is fine. | |
| Preamp for Pass The poster has an ARC LS26, not a Cary. | |
| Preamp for Pass Just need to know the spec on both before we can make a determination. | |
| Preamp for Pass George is right in fact experience has shown me the input impedance of the amp should be at least 10x higher than the output impedance of the preamp or the sound will not be right or all it could be.Check the specs of your amp and search according... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I should also share that my system has never sounded this good. The Alexander caps are wonderful. They are extended, open, airy and so transparent. Bass is tight and so fast and powerful. I am thrilled with these and glad I decided to go for them!... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Duelund Alex caps are sounding much better. I found the issue and this is one to learn from. My SS amp has a very low input impedance while my tube preamp has a relatively high output impedance. Well, I tied another SS amp with 100k input impe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Actives also need to be well matched with the amp. My cuurent tube active was a poor match to the Sunfire Signature amp which has an input impedance of 24k ohms.The bass was muted and highs were etched. The Sunfire amp does not sound this way at a... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Need to look at the voltage output of the source compared to the voltage input needed for the amp - sensitivity rating. This is also very important. An active preamp will be needed if the amp's voltage need is higher then the source's output volta... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Seems to be heating up again. Teajay, you're bold to try and speak for some middle ground on this thread. Many that post here are very reasoned and good folks. Like you have said in several of your recent posts, the issue is not with most of the s... | |
