| 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... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Amber 3 now has 170 hours on it and is really starting to come into its own. I hear better top to bottom cohesiveness and a filling in of the stage between the speakers. The unit is no longer forced or forward sounding. I am hearing a more or... | |
| Resistors I have used both extensively. The Path Audio are better in important ways. They are quieter meaning they reduce noise and are far more neutral sounding. Just so even handed top to bottom. The Duelund CAST resistors sound a tad tipped up in the pre... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Thanks for the update. I am in the same boat as you on this Amber 3 in that I need to return now if not a keeper. I have 120 hours on it and it is still changing and getting better. I hear enough signs of greatness that I want to run it for 300 ho... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Good experiment and results for you. That is great. If you like it more, then that’s all that matters! Enjoy! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? By the way you have a nice system! Very nice. Thank you for this report. Please tell us about your cables. Do you use any silver? | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Based on my current experience with the Amber 3 at some 80 hours of burn in, I would say your Amber test unit is not burned in fully. Your comments about brighter and lack of depth point to this fact. If the unit only has 100-120 hours, then it ne... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I will once stock is fully burned in and I know she is a keeper! Then many upgrades will come 🤓 | |
| What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction? All good points Doug. Many of us don't listen above 75-89db average weighted C when off the leach! |
