New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
It was a true pleasure meeting Lukasz Fikus. I had a long and very interesting conversation with him. He's quite engaging, very smart and candid. I believe that he will enjoy much success in the fickle high end market.Charles,

Wattsperchannel,As an alternative viewpoint I say you can very successfully build a system around an amplifier you adore. I did this and the resulting system exceeded high expectations. The plain truth is building around a speaker or amplifier can...

Hi Gopher (Fred) it was a pleasure to meet you in the Lampizator room this week, your hospitality was appreciated. My friend Jwm (Jeff) is really looking forward to the Lampizator 5 DAC he ordered with your help. Regards, Charles, 
Zen Crescendo or 5a...will they work in my room?
Schubert, I've heard all of those as well and I'd still prefer the Crescendo if matched with the right tube amplifier.Charles,

Worlds best DAC
Hi Agear,Well that's very encouraging to hear, Robert has told me how good your room and system are, so the "digital sucks" just made no sense to me. My feeling was what a waste of money and time if that's your end result (how sad that'd be). Glad...

Rpeluso,You should read the original post again, he's heard and likes both speakers but is concerned with his room's dimensions and compatibility. The opinions from us responders regarding speaker preference are unsolicited.Charles,

Joe,I don't believe that the 6em7 offers much in choice availability. I thought you'd notice more organic sound from the EML as it acquired hours. It has what I'd call natural warmth rather than 'adding' warmth. The KR 300 XLS is definitely warmer...
