| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-28-14: TbgAgear, yes I did guess wrong it seems, but we will see in five years.I have several comments. One is that I know you can get the old Tripoint Troys for a very good price, but I recently got a Troy Signature and will tell you that it i... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-28-14: Mattnshilp.... I want to work on a dedicated listening room - which will give me WAY bigger SQ improvements then changing my DAC. I think that is wise. When my room was completed, I plopped a Bestbuy grade test system in there, and I was... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-28-14: Phasecorrect...there have been a lot fewer "quantum leap" products than the industry will care to admit...true, true. particularly in the digital domain. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear, I never really ever thought that I was in a search, but in the early 1970s with my ARC electronics and Infinity Servostatic 1 speakers, I was very happy for over five years, until I learned of the 1As. Since then I have had 24 different spe... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level 08-26-14: MrmbThanks Agear! Although I haven't had the opportunity to hear for myself, most concur that a linear power supply does much to enhance the Mac mini. Because I believe the only difference between the base Aries and the upgraded one is a... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-26-14: MattnshilpI remember reading on another post that you felt the Big6 was the best of your bunch when it came to Red Book CD. In fact, I was going to pursue a Big7 until I read that. Do you feel that your Big7 is superior in regards to its... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house 08-26-14: Dragon_vibeI prefer Digital as SS running through Tube Pre-amp and Tube Power Amp. Kinda feel Transparency can be lost if too much Tubes are in the Chain. I guess this probably also comes down to system synergy and setup.That's one reaso... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level 08-26-14: Dragon_vibeHas anyone compared this to the MSB DACS?I did with the Lampi 4 and found the MSB very transparent and cleaner sounding. I wander if the Big 6 can match or beat the MSB.A L7 owner has the big MSB stack and prefers the 7. He go... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level 08-26-14: MrmbHi Agear,I'm interested in the Mac mini Aries comparison. Did your mini have an external linear power supply? How about a SSD? How much RAM did it have? Its a latest generation but unmodded Mini. I did use it with and without a USB c... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? 08-24-14: Charles1dadHi Agear,Have the Aries and Lampizator level 7 met or exceeded your lofty expectations? A DHT(EML 45 tube) DAC is very interesting.Congratulations.above average....;) | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-25-14: PhasecorrectFwiw...my brother in law was in the same dilemma...and spent a boat load on a premium dac ...suffice to say...it was a marginal improvement at best...but he at least got bragging rights out of it...hahaPhasecorrect, that's fu... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level 08-24-14: JafoxOk. A bit of semantics going on here. When I referred "transports", it was about CD spinners. I have not compared systems containing stored files in memory yet. But even so, I seriously doubt that the differences come even close to ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, the Lampizator thugs will be at the NY show along with TRL and Mosaic Audio. It will be your chance to "hear" a L7 whatever thats worth.... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level 08-22-14: DoakJeezziz,,, after reading all this stuff it feels really good to put an LP on the TT, drop the needle and relax. ;-)Very poetic but unfortunately not completely true. Plenty of hand wringing and tightened sphincters and cumbersome rit... |
