Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Wojtek, a preamp should care absolute transparency not because I said it or have warren somewhere within my site but because it just makes sense, doesn’t it? I undusted what you ask but I also undusted why you asked it. The key is that you do not understand what “X-factor” is. It most likely came from the fact that you apparently never experience “X-factor” and therefore you attributed to “X-factor” some things that have no relation to the “X-factor” (SS buffer, oil cap, silver wire and the rest crap…). If you feel that “X-factor” is a properly of some kind if colorations then you are mistaken. The “X-factor” in fact has ABSOLUTELY NO RELATION TO TRANSPARENCY and therefore I do not see any conflict if an absolutely transparent line-stage has or do not has the “X-factor”.

Try to “get” it. The “X-factor” is not juts a term that invented in order the others to characterize whatever they feel should be called as “X-factor”. The “X-factor” is VERY SPECIFIC impact to Sound that took place in Lamm L1 and L2 preamps.  If you did not A/B even a signal channel with L1/L2 in path and bypassing it then you hardly have business to use the phrase “X-factor” and it most likely you have no idea what it is all about. BTW, 90% of people who did used L1/L2 still have no idea what “X-factor” was and what those preamps could do. Still, pay attention that L1/L2 are very much NOT TRANSPARENT preamps…
