Tortuga Preamps


Passive with LDR and balanced connections.
Purportedly very transparent as it does not use transistors.
However, measured here:
https://www.neurochrome.com/tortuga-audio-ldr3/
The data seems to indicate significant distortion at attenuated volume levels.
If so, does this conflict with subjective opinions of transparency? How would this distortion manifest in listening, examples?

Anyone happy with theirs?

Thanks for your input

George manufactures the Lightspeed Attenuator. One of the the best bargains in audio. I have owned one for 10 years it seems. My old friend Pubul57 (RIP) started this thread years ago to discuss the Lightspeed:
