New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I think a dual mono L5 chipset in a Big 6 Box with DSD and VC with remote may be the way for you to go.That is the one I will be getting....What does Gearhead know he is not a Lamp owner?Ironically, neither are you. You are the first and only prou...

I agree Bill. Duelund is still king and having a few dudes (with industry insider accommodation) squawking on a thread is not convincing. I just thought it was interesting....I'd like to hear other Big Six owners comment on the 3D comparison betwe... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
What Tom said makes sense. I would be interested to hear what Rick Schultz himself has to say on the subject as he has been an advocate and end user of Sistrum products in the past.... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
My Big Six is involving, but to me not at the level of the L4's musicality, at least not yet. I've got about 200+ hrs on the Big Six and it's more of a "grab you by the throat" kind of DAC that has awesome resolution and can delineate images that ... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Bill, what mods did you incorporate? Steve is a business man first and foremost and very utilitarian. He (and Larry Moore formerly of UltraFi) teach people how to optimize their puters, add a SS drive abd add an external PS. That's the most they d... 
Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory?
The last few posts add nothing to the thread. It would be nice to hear from people who have used this and other similar technologies.

Howard, CAPS is a Windows-based product. My guess is that it will best a mini, modded or not. Against the Lampi transport? Who knows. If you really want to go the whole hog, consider the Sonore transport which is also tossed around on Computer Aud... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
During the CD era, I used to hear people say that the transport was as or more important than the dac itself. I think I agree with that statement. The debate as to why is fairly involved.I have used computers since the late 70s and used Apple prod... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
The Mini is a rat's nest of noise. Everyone needs to go to the Lessloss site to review this topic. That's why a dedicated transport free of any computer is where people are headed. Duh. 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I would expect the LT to smoke a mini regardless of mods. Glory used to wax poetic about his and how it made his modded mini with linear ps sound broken. Mistake to sell...at least for Redbook duty....

Abruce, if you read through the whole thread and understand the context, you would realize that Glory was jesting. That being said, I am glad someone finally called him out for what he is! After reading that line, I laughed for about 5 minutes str... 
Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory?
The Tripoint stuff can be used in any capacity whether it be chassis or via signal inputs 
Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory?
I think Atmasphere is spot on about poor grounding schemes. I have heard that before from Dale Pitcher at ID. That being said, I also believe there is more to this story as Ivan (and Alan) intonate....bravo for taking this field further. 
Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
Good. Let us ok now. I honestly do not think products like Entreq can be dismissed simply due to faulty equipment grounding schemes. 
Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
So Spirit, based on verbiage from another Entreq thread, owners who find benefit from it and other similar technologies simply have equipment that is inadequately grounded??? Your thoughts on this? Technical response to this charge from the manufa...
