| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Yes my Amber is still changing for the better at over 300 hours. Another thing we need to consider is the input we are using. I know the Amber 3’s USB input is one of its strong suits and possibly the best input to use depending on your server/tr... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? One last interesting point. The Amber 3 I now listen to is a completely different sounding dac than the new one I played for 12 straight days 24/7. One would be reviewing or auditioning two different dacs really. Post break in with upgraded fuse ... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror What exact parts were used in the upgraded Orchid? Very important as I know from experience a specific recipe works best for the type of sound you and many like. Did it have the SR Orange fuse? Was the Amber 3 newer or fully broken in with at leas... | |

| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Would need to know the parts used in the upgraded Orchid. That makes a big difference. Don’t know if apples to apples. Please let us know the output caps used, SR Orange fuse, Zfoil resistors etc... Other parts don’t work as well in sonic areas yo... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Just put the Orange fuse in my Lampi Amber 3 dac with nice sonic results. Stirring... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Great news about additional tube rolling! | |
| Resistors Use Duelund DCA 16 gauge on the mid driver. Use the 12 gauge on the woofer. Both are stranded copper wire in oil impregnated cotton. Great sound. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Well if the socket enables one to roll tubes that sound better than the WE, then wonderful. I would check with MHDT as these other tubes will have varying voltage requirements. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I forgot to share my final thoughts of the Amber 3 vs the upgraded Orchid. The two are really wonderful and I could live with either and not feel like I miss the other.....if that makes sense. The Amber 3 is a little more resolving and throws a b... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Not sure why one would need to go the adaptor route when the $69 Western Electric tube is so fantastic and miles ahead of the stock GE tube? Just seems unnecessary? However, if you love tube rolling have at it! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have well over 225 hours on the Amber 3. I also installed and SR Orange fuse and very nice Mullard/Amperex Long plate 12au7 tube. Both the tube and fuse have 65 hours on them. The sound out of the Amber 3 is now so effortless, natural and beaut... | |
| Resistors I would not spend the extra money on Path Audio for the woofers. I would use the Mills MRA12 resistors in that position. They are also great and cost $5. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Amber 3 along the long burn in time is sounding more full bodied and less "wake up" your system in my opinion. I found the Amber 3 too vivid and "wake up your system" sounding up to some 120 hours. That is now changing and the unit is sounding... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Please send me your AM SE to compare to my fully broken in Amber 3 with upgraded tube in my rig next week. Pretty please :)System synergy is always the trump card and deciding factor. Secondly, one's sonic preferences and priorities also play a ke... |
