| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Very cool. @grannyring now that you’ve heard the Golden Atlantic, isn’t it uncanny how different the recent Lampizators sound versus just a few years ago. Weren’t you surprised when you thought back to when you first formed your unfavorable impres... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring which tubes was Colin running in the Golden Atlantic TRP? | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring Wow, this thread is a wonderful example of the value of the Audiogon community. A friendly exchange of ideas, no one felt insulted that some may prefer brand x over their brand y dac while others love their dac (which may be manufactur... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? With all due deference to the OP, he/she started this thread to question a binary comparo between the Orchid and the Amber 3. I apologize if my posts introduced the idea for others to begin recommending their dacs. The OP may or may not want those... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @dfairc777a I am not familiar with Cambridge gear nor have I heard the Primaluna dac. I did read up on the Primaluna a while back thinking that it looked like a neat effort. With that tube compliment and the Kevin Deal/Upscale Audio/Primaluna pa... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @t_ramey I believe the engine is the same, however, that is a question better posed to the Lampizator folks. I have heard the TRP is supposed to be exceptional but I have not heard one. Many say that it approaches the GG but I will leave that to t... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @facten The La Scala Optologic is a terrific dac. It has a very nice and sincere presentation. Its not too "showy" meaning the mids are the right scale and color, not over or under emphasized. The low end is nice and full without being plump. Just... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? If I had been the VP of Marketing for Lampizator, I wouldn’t have named the new dac the Amber 3 but they were also likely trying to keep their naming conventions more consistent than in the past.The Amber 2 I heard in the past(not in my system) so... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring how true, how true!I was not overly impressed by Lampizator dacs until the Golden Atlantic came along. Your assessment about their prior dacs is consistent with my memory although I never had one for any material length of time.Was you... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Allow me to chime in if I may. I either presently own or have in the very recent past (this year) owned the following dacs: Chord Dave, Nagra Classic Dac, Lampizator Golden Atlantic, Lampizator Amber 3, Border Patrol Dac SE, MHDT Orchid, TotalDac ... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Ive had several ref 5se’s, running into multiple different amps (arc, pass, even a shindo) and they were always dead quiet with my 96db speakers. You need to send it to Arc for service. | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Do what elrod said. If the sound follows from right channel to left, youve narrowed it down. You also have two good 6h30 tubes in your ls27 so if the sound moves channels, borrow one 6h30 from the ls 27 and replace one of the potential issue tubes... | |
| Inflated prices in audio Theres more great audio gear being manufactured and sold by more companies than at any other time in history. Fact. It just might not be in the form you think should qualify but its a fact.The whining about monetary policy and inflation always cra... | |
