Yes, give them so time and you will smile:) 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
BTW, I have owned your speakers and loved them. I modified mine to the hilt with Rogers' help and mated them with Atmasphere MA 1 amps as well as TRL Samson amps. I have compared my previous Lampi 4 with other 4's as well as some 5's and they were... 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
Hi Jafox, I did not say it was your ears. At least that was not my intention. I was saying a host of things including system, room, PC, cables, ears etc... all together can make for different outcomes. I also had friends that much preferred the OR... 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
Matt, nothing conclusive here on the OR 5. My experience is polar opposite. My system is different however as are my room and ears. Yours are different also. If not used with the Dynamo power supply, then it was never really heard at all as an FYI... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt, I read that and I my experience is polar opposite. So no real definitive learning based on this at all. So many variables to sort through that it becomes impossible to draw any universal conclusions. Have to try it yourself to ever know in y...

How is your new EA dac sounding of late?

The only Jupiter caps I have ever used were the flat stacked HT and the new copper foil. These are the top end of their line. Both are very good, but the new copper foil are more neutral and resolving revealing far more micro details. The new copp...

Volley, you will give up nothing compared to the Duelund CAST caps used in electronics vs. Jupiter copper caps. At least the ones sold at Parts Connextion. I and many others, all others I know who have done it, prefer the new Jupiter caps in their...

SalectricGood to hear. I was looking at your system again and your DIY amps look very well built. Nice work!So it seems caps or resistors to shunt in a crossover are in fact important!I know this to be true from experience. Interesting how the bui...

Matt, see if you can borrow this 900 turntable for a shootout vs. your EA dac on select recordings.

The cap should be secure and in place before you solder. If you don't know what you are doing you will surely ruin the circuit board. You must first desoldered he first cap without lifting the trace or solder pad. Then you secure the new cap by ru...

Jupiters are anything but slow and damped in sound. In my experience they set the new standard for natural and neutral sound. No worries about slow and damped. What Jupiter has achieved is certainly something needed in our hobby. Affordable SOTA c... 
Amp improvement since 1994?
You can finds amps today that are much better than amps 20 plus years old. SS amps today have far less grain and can sound every bit as good as a great modern tube amp. Parts quality has greatly improved, so if an amp is built with these SOTA part...
