| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? No need to change out the chip in the Orchid. Folks who have and then compared to a fully burned in stock chip now say the stock chip is great. Output caps can be Jupiter copper foil, Miflex 1uf, Audience XO or the new Vcap ODAM The Western Electr... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I also have tinnitus and I will say the Orchid is very easy on the ears and I am able to turn it up without setting off my tinnitus. While the Orchid is not as extended or vibrant as the Golden Atlantic it has musicality in spades and is easy on ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I suppose it depends on the room, flooring material, cable length, cable covering, cable weight and perhaps many more variables. I suppose room humidity also plays a role. Easy for us to have differing experiences with this lifting tweak. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I like tweaks and have a bunch of them. This one has never revealed itself as sounding better. I run my cables under my floor in my conditioned crawl space and my system sounds the same as when I had those funny looking ceramic risers all over th... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I will let Colin respond as I don’t remember. The Golden Atlantic spread a vivid and lively soundstage that placed the instruments and vocalists in the space with you. It was more vivid sounding than the Orchid. I found myself wanting to turn up t... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Hello all. Today I compared the $10,000 Atlantic Golden TRP to my $1400 or so upgraded Orchid. Yes, not a fair comparison due to the vast price difference. Colin of Gestalt Audio in Nashville had it set up in his killer system. Did I find my Orchi... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @ghasley. Very kind of you to offer. I will contact the local dealer first, but big thank you! Colin, very nice of you to offer a demo and will contact you for arrangements. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Lampi NY charges $150 for shipping direct out of Poland. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? We get the Orchid outputs 16/44 and sounds great. I like NOS dacs! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Somebody live near Nashville, TN with the Amber? Love to compare my tricked out Orchid which sounds fantastic to this unit. My Orchid cost me $1350 after the upgrades. The Amber is $2800 with no discount if you want a trial. My Orchid sounds so go... | |
| Network Switches @three....This is not that confusing is it? Some things cannot be measured to determine if you will like it or prefer it to another piece of gear. You just have to listen. Some things can be measured. We are saying read, measure and listen to de... | |
| Network Switches He never hears a difference and is predisposed to find such an outcome. He is not, and does not care to be, a careful listener passionate about sonic nuance. Realism, natural tonality and the like elude his sensibilities and gifting. He is a tec... | |
| Network Switches Measurements play an important role as does good building techniques, layout, design, parts quality and synergistic pairing of parts. However, listening and fine tuning based on actual sound is also very important. It all matters. That’s why I h... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Amber is very interesting. I know they offer a trial at full price.....may try one 😊. I preferred the stock Orchid with an upgraded fuse and good power cord to the Aqua LaVoce S2. The upgrades I performed on the Orchid really do bring it to an... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? This is so subjective as we all know. I have not liked the Lampi sound in the past and owned and quickly sold two of their dacs. Are the new ones better for my tastes? Don’t know, but perhaps worth a try. Found them too forced and forward. In my r... |
