| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have a customer’s Orchid here with some 30 hours on it post surgery. It also has the SR Orange fuse. I have been comparing it to my Amber 3 with SR Orange fuse and Mullard 12au7. I can easily live with both. Don’t miss the other when one is play... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Shuguang version is also said to be very good. Great thread guys. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? My experience with 6sn7 tubes in preamps has proven the Psvane T-series black bottle tubes (cv181) sounds as good, and in most cases, better than the myriad of well touted NOS 6sn7 tubes. Only problem is these cv181 tubes don’t seem to last as lo... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? That is great! Let us know the result. The new tube will need 40-60 hours of play time. I am really interested in the big bottle cv181 6sn7 equivalent and how it will sound. The top plate tube hole will need to be expanded a bit using a simple st... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Well it seems this little MHDT Orchid has more tricks up it’s tiny sleeve! This is not a dac you just plug and play and expect to get the most out of it. One of my customers and a good audio buddy purchased the Orchid with my upgrades and just ... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Many times the true color is beautiful and inviting. This chapter is not done yet and we all know precious little as it should be. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? My same friend purchased the AM Tubadour dac ( one step down from the SE) and returned it after the trial period in favor of the S3 LaVoce. He felt it was just a tad flat and plain sounding. He has the Don Sachs 6sn7 preamp, McIntosh M452 amp, Inn... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? My audio buddy owned the La Scala MKIII Opto and sold it as he preferred the LaVoce S3 in his system. Just goes to show how real personal preferences and system synergy is. No kidding, he loves the S3! The La Scala just could not please him over... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have heard the S2 and S3 LaVoce. Great dacs! I actual like the Brimar tube a little better in my system with the Amber. Thanks for the tip! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @ghasley. Please remind me of your main dac? Curious as to how it compares to the Amber 3. Thanks! | |
| 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... |
