| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring My main dac is presently an Aqua La Scala MkII Optologic with a pair of NOS Mullard 6201 tubes installed. It replaced a Nagra Classic dac which replaced a Totaldac D1-Tube-MkII which replaced a Chord Dave. All have been fed by an Innuo... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Come on guys, lay off @teajay the Lab12 dac was well reviewed by @teajay and it was done in an A vs B vs aural memory of other higher end dacs. He stated his opinion and went on the record. He never said “this is the finest dac that will ever be m... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @teajay Thanks for the reply. I’m not exactly sure why people get angry or snarky, you merely report your observations and we all can either choose to benefit from your findings or not. Its just audio folks. Our own observations may differ or alig... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @teajay for those of us keeping score at home, presently in your system, you have a stock Orchid, a stock Amber 3 and the upgraded Tubadour? Then to that trio you inserted temporarily an upgraded Orchid? I just want to understand the sequencing.On... | |
| So What Is Real? Yes, he went through the MacArthur grant in short order. Listen, he and his husband live a reasonable middle class existence in Florida but they went through most of his meager savings fighting to keep his husband from doing serious jail time over... | |
| So What Is Real? @geoffkait "Randi got the million from Johnny Carson when he died to go after spoon benders and dowsers. A quick search turns up Randi’s net worth at 1.5 Million. Most likely Randi got cold feet thinking, gee, I know the Challenge is rigged but ma... | |
| So What Is Real? Randi apparently couldn’t demonstrate the financial means to carry out the challenge. Turns out he was very likely close to insolvency. | |

| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @yoyodyne I have heard the PSAudio dacs a long time ago and I once owned the Schiit Yiggy. The Schiit is a fine dac (not my cup of tea) and while I really like Paul and his no nonsense but considerate demeanor, I don’t believe either of these dacs... | |
| So What Is Real? @mahlmanFor many here on Audiogon, we are just misguided and have far more money than sense it seems. With that said, why would you want to go and rain on our parade? LOLKlipsch....is not my standard nor benchmark. It may be for many and that’s co... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring Brent Jesse www.audiotubes.com is a good place for NOS 12au7’s. Forthright to a fault, which is kinda important when you are buying tubes you may not even open for 10 or 15 years....the good news is you just need a really nice single w... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring How did you have yours configured? Balanced? Single ended? Volume control?To manage your expectations: Compared to fresh out of the box until the Amber 3 came on to full song was probably 200 hours. I know, that seems like an eternity ... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @vassilsWe each hear what we hear and finding what we like is what’s most important. Your money, your preference.@vassils you must have heard a Lampizator Golden Atlantic not an Atlantic. Additionally, if you preferred the Audio Mirror to a Golden... | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? 40 years ago, Frazier Sevens and a Marantz receiver and Dual TT.
