| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Fair enough Clio09. I agree with your thoughts and let’s move on. I and Knghifi were not attacked and I did overstate that a bit. Ya, I did purchase the preamps in the threads you posted. Liked them both. I will always tell the Agon community of g... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Fiddler, I am not whining at all but making a reasonable point. Sorry you are upset. I am not talking about cheerleading at all and want to hear it when someone has found a great piece.Seems I am being attacked for no real reason by you. That is t... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Fiddler, Please what? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09 is certainly most open minded and fair. Pubul57 has also been fair. I suppose the builder is the one I was thinking about. I was careful in my post not to point the finger at all. Good little preamp and has gone head to head and won some im... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have one comment or concern that I see in this otherwise great thread. It seems when one person has a different experience or opinion on this preamp their comments are dismissed and marginalized very quickly by some. The reason must be system m... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player No, not for high end. They still sound better to my ear :-) I love to handle the CD and am not near ready for diving into computer based audio. Still to much change and improvements for me to jump into it just yet. | |
| Any one ever replace caps or modify there Xovers Yes, by all means replace the caps, resistors or any parts that are of low quality. Would a $10,000 - $15,000 speaker use a $15 cap and other lower quality parts? Yes is the answer.Simply read the value and replace! I did so on my Sound Lab speake... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? Interesting points on noise. While I tend to agree with Tvad and Mapman as noise through my speakers drives me crazy....What about all the noises in one's listening room that are certainly louder then some hiss trough speakers or mechanical transf... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? Rleff, yes I did consider those as well as the Wolcott P400's. I could not afford both the A1's and those big tube amps right now. I decided to try a used Sunfire Signature for $1500 and I was and continue to be amazed.I doubt any SS amp could mak... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? Atmasphere is 100% correct. I tried 200 and 300 watt SS amps on my Soundlabs and needed more power! My other SS amps rated up to 300 watts per side started to sound tilted up in the highs and a little bass shy as I turned up the volume over 80db o... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? My Soundlab A1 speakers seem to really open up with a very powerful SS amp. I am currently using a Sunfire Signature 600 x 2 amp that is amazing on this speaker. I know some will think no way a Carver amp can sound this amazing with SL speakers, b... | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? Sorry to all, my post above was meant for another thread. All good preamps here and all good comments :-) | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? I also agree with the last two posters on the nature of sharing on this site. However, I also think one's comments should be reasoned and reasonable. We can all say what we want and I don't want to change that. Yes, we even have the freedom to say... | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? If dynamics is what you want and a better overall sound compared to the likes of the AR 26 then the Dude is a must. I have compared the Dude to the Lightspeed, Joule 150 and many, many other high dollar preamps (read my review here).These other pr... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I will say that Paul's power cord is a must on his gear. They really help the Dude and his amps come to life and fully reveal all these great pieces have to offer. |
