Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
That’s good to know, George. My unknowledgeable brain interpreted it and has been calling it “proper volume scaling” of everything.  
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Yep, ct, you will say as often as you can that there are great DACs of both types. But there will always be people like George (and seemingly me, too) that will always hear something we like better in an R2R...  A DAC I like upgraded the model and... 
Amps with meters ...
My amps meter is a voltage meter...cuz it’s cool.  
sellers trying to sell used product for 10-20% off of list price
Or how ‘bout a dealer or ex-dealer selling a used/demo unit for FULL retail. Head scratcher for sure.

Vinnie Rossi has the L2 Signature Preamp ($17k), a full function DHT preamp, with optional DAC module. The DAC add-on is $3500 and I’d say performs well for that price range and above. So, certainly better DAC performance can be had with an extern... 
Correct Way to Invert Phase
I have a Vinnie Rossi L2 preamp that inverts phase and I almost didn’t complete the purchase because of thick and slightly bloated bass and a detail imbalance... Vinnie said what most here say...but I switched phase at the speakers and I get much ...

You can quickly get this info from LampizatorNA via email.  
Robert Hunter unfortunately has died
Dead fans are defensive because insults, direct or implied, just mean that they’re not seeing the whole picture and don’t get it. They were to prolific on every front for any nit-pic to stand. Depth and soul doesn’t come from having an “America Id... 
TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP
The website was the first thing I thought of, as I’ve heard of scammers hunting for non-renewed domain names, grabbing them after a easy bit of research and assuming the identity for scamming purposes. If family members do not think of  tying up l... 
Tube DAC without output transformer?
Excuse my ignorance but what benefits would this give? I’m assuming more transparency?  
Lampizator Amber - moving up the range?
You have to specify what unit you are thinking about, as the GG and Pacific are DHT, the TRP is any and all Pentodes and the Atlantic & Golden Atlantic is no-rolling with its 4P1L pentodes (which I actually love for its linearity). Not sure wh... 
Lampizator Amber - moving up the range?
I agree with jaybe. Moving from my  ol’ Lampi L4G4 to my Atlantic Plus (or “SE” as maxboy calls it) was a totally new and better sound in many areas. Then hearing the new Golden Atlantic “TRP”  was yet another uptic in analog-like presentation wit...
