Any comparisons to your Lampi 7?thxI have not but it would be fun to do so. The tube complement used is VERY different. I think someone in NJ has both an... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level It takes much time and effort to assemble a system to achieve a hint of live music's 3D presence and only a matter of minutes to destroy much of what had previously been achieved.+1. That's everything, and who would think a rectifier change would ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 09-09-14: HchilcoatHi there Agear! I loved your description of your wife's comments.

| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house 09-09-14: Dragon_vibeI tried the lampi direct to the Tube amp and with Tube PRe-amp and the same with MSB. Both are top DAC but I still give it to the MSB in the end. It comes down to personal taste. To me the MSB was a clear winner. I am still cu... | |

| Direct Heated Triode Tube DAC by Allnic Audio Labs 09-07-14: Socfan12Thx, Agear. I've heard good things of the Auralic Vega, and I believe Stereophile's review of it earlier this year compared it against the DCS stack. To my ears, the Allnic sounds more like analog than any other DAC I've heard. M... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, what specific DSD have you heard to date? Is it only the upsampling entities such as the Meitner or Directstream? Looks like you still need to hear the Aesthetix piece.Also, next Saturday I'm picking up a 2013 Porsche Boxster S PDK/sport chr... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? 09-06-14: MapmanTortilla is right about the value of using a network to get the data to the player. I agree 100%. It makes what you use as the computer essentially irrelevant in regards to sound quality. As long as there is enough storage and proc... |
