New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

Wonder if any other new owners of this DAC are out there as I find it to be the finest digital playback I have heard to date. This is the first digital front end piece of gear I have owned that has transformed my music.

Ya, other digital gear does this or that better, but this Lampy breaks through to a new level of musical enjoyment. Clear view into the music helping the speakers just disappear. Only 24 hours of break in and the music flows so sweet, intimate and seemingly without boundaries.

Looking under the hood I see an impressive power supply with films caps and several high quality chokes. Point to point silver wired except for the digital and USB boards. This is a three tube player that is tube rectified. One has the option for SS rectification if desired.

Ya, I love this Lampy!

My L4G4 was switched from solid state rectification to tube rectified. Since the unit was converted, the label on the back does not say what the tube type is... The tube in the unit is printed "6U5C". From what I can find this is equivalent to 6X5GT. Lukasz said it is a very good tube but I am hunting a tube issue in my system and before I re-tube the amp, I need to rule this out. AND get the upgrade in sound mentioned with a Bendix 6x5! The 5852 correct?

Whats the link to a good source for this tube ya'll are raving about?

Dying to get this system straight that I have been without for months!

Has anyone tried the Tun-sol 6x5? Most of this lamp crowd might favor the the Bendix but wondering how the -possibly less aggressive- Tung-Sol sounds as well...

Interesting Norman. Thanks for sharing. I may have to try both then...
My Lamp has ecc40's. Not many replacements for them.

Abruce,
Tubed VS solid state is just as one would think... The SS rectified was faster and punchier, with tighter bass but still with a good 'floating in space' effect... The tube rectified has a touch more analog feel to it and a deeper soundstage.
That is all I could say at this point, as I have had very little listening to this L4G4 yet. But with that said, my findings match everyone else's in the thread. Glad I have one!
And Lukasz seems to be a very hard worker, cranking these babies out and making sure everyone is happy!
