Looking for an AMP to match JA Pulsar and Lampi
@soix any knowledge about Qualiton separates, like C200 pre + P200 amp?  
Looking for an AMP to match JA Pulsar and Lampi
Thank you so much for your replies! I've been checking carefully all your recommendations over the weekend - so much new stuff to read about :) For now I decided not to go into class D and monoblocks. It's about a lack of space and a personal nee...

I finally bought  Lampizator Big 7 MK II with Engine 11 and David Laboga Emerald MK II USB cable to connect Lampi to my temporary streamer which is Mac Mini. I'm satisfied for now - Pacific was obviously better, but also 4 times more expensive. I...

Yeah, thanks. I read so many positive comments about Octave that it's really hard to believe I woudn't like it. As there is a real issue with finding Lampizator with preamp, I started toying with the idea of buying Lampizator DAC, Octave RE 320 an...

Would you consider it now yourself? I'm really wondering how the sound characteristics would change after upgrading from Arcam to Octave RE 320. I'm sure it would be better because it has more power and so on, but I'm not sure if it will provide ...

@soix PA is short form of power amplifier, I saw it in Ayon Audio so I thought it's in common use. Sorry for that! Octave RE 320 provides, based on the documentation: "maximum output power of approx. 2 x 130 W with two tubes in push-pull mode. Th...

After I changed the source from Naim CD XS to Lampizator Poseidon there is no sign of the brightness, even bass is just fine right now somehow. I really like what Lampi does to the sound and I would like to add more of that magic to new amp. A pin...

Thanks @soix. As always I highly appreciate your support!  Currently Lampi Poseidon works as a PRE too. I also borrowed Auralic S1 streamer. So I suppose the old Arcam PA is indeed the weakest link. Any recommendations for a power amp?

I must admit that, for now, I’m enchanted by the sound when listening to classical music, jazz, vocals, and even electronic music through the Poseidon—it’s very good. However, when it comes to rock, it’s quite poor; the sound becomes flat and chao...

Small update:  I was listening to the music all the evening using Lampizator Baltic 4 and Poseidon.  While Baltic was just fine, Poseidon was awesome. It's hard to describe what was so special about it, but we listened with a couple of friends a...

I ordered Lampizator DAC Baltic & Poseidon for testing. The factory is near me, so I will have them tomorrow for about a week. It will be great to see the difference between one of the cheapest and one of the most expensive models! Anyway, it ...

I’m having Pulsars for a couple of days. Great resolution, plenty of details, clear and accurate sound, a little on a bright side though. I’m satisfied with the purchase and I think the speakers are the best point to start a process of upgrading t...

Thanks, great to hear that.  In the back of my mind I know that I probably should start with buying a power amp and then match a right dac / preamp to it. But buying a Lampi with a preamp right now would give me a chance to enjoy the music using ...

Update :)   JP Pulsars will be delivered in a week. I’ve got them on a reduced price because of no grilles. The grilles I will order directly from JP. I talked to Jeff, great guy. It's really tempting me now to complete my audio equipment: orde...

Thanks, you helped a lot. I've sent a message to JP asking about price and possibility of buying these grills, but I guess I won't get any reply soon enough :)
