"When I demos Lamp a year+ ago, Lukasz discourages tube rolling and doesn't apologies for his decision. So when did Lukasz changed his tune? Customers spoke up?"I think there has been some mis-information going around with respect to tube rolling....

I'm not sure what was wrong, but the Omen Defs were just putting out a lot of glare and brightness. I know the full range driver and the super tweeters well and it was not something I encountered previously.I also spent a week with the GM70s on my... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
The meet was a really fun event, but I think the sound in the main room (basement) was good not great. The Zu Omen Defs we used weren't playing well for some reason and we had some excessive brightness. Still sounded good though.We swapped out the...

As a long delayed update to my last post, I've really enjoyed the PB101 & 845 pairing. They are really special amps and more people need to know about them... I don't get how they are flying under the radar!!!I see the preamp and amps from a r...

Mitch2,I purchased a Level 4/gen 4 and sold it shortly after the purchase... Did it underwhelm? NO! I bought a Big Six and TranspOrt! I have two friends within 30 miles of my home that did the EXACT same thing as me. I have a friend in Cali that d... 
Child-Proof Speakers
Train your kids properly and you should have no issues. I've got a 3 year old and a 6 month old in a relatively small condo with my rig in the main living room and there is no issue. My entire stereo is referred to as "daddys speakers" and he know...

Glory,The Big Six is really fuggin' Big. The perspective changed slightly with more of a mid stadium vs. front and center perspective, but conversely image size and density, dynamic swings and BASS! MUCH bigger and my Duelands are still burning in... 
Zu Essence upgrade kit - worthwhile?
I speculate it is worth it for someone who is already invested in the Zu Essences, especially guys with custom finishes, that enjoy the ribbon tweeter and don't prefer the Soul form factor.I upgraded the drivers in my Definition 2s to the nanotech...

Glory,Did you every change the rectifier tube? I've got the same Benedix in my TranspOrt as in my Big Six and it is a similar upgrade there. I tried one for the sake of experimenting, not expecting much--it is significant.I'll take the Pepsi Chall...

Jim,The TranspOrt is in the house and making beautiful music with my Big Six. Its hard to describe what I'm hearing other than it being bold, dynamic natural and amazing. Its a very LIVE presentation, more so then I've experienced before in any me... 
Why is Dynaudio so much cheaper in Europe?
Keep in mind that aside from strength of the dollar and the costs associated with importing large speakers, the people in Europe will pay a pretty steep VAT which is significantly higher then sales tax in the States.

Agear,The Rack of Silence Reference is made by Solid-Tech. They definitely made a difference, especially for the components on the reference shelves, but I also love the Sistrum Apprentices under my mono blocks. I just took delivery of a pair of S...
