Opinions...on Digital Cables for Esoteric Gear
My entire system was wired with PAD Proteus Provectus and 20th Anniversary cables but then changed EVERYTHING to a company from Poland that has been making cables for over 10 years called Audiomica Labs. More open on top, cleaner, fuller and even ... 
Walker Audio Extreme SST
Ebm I have to agree, initially the Walker sounds great but after time the sound disintigrates, it's not the silver but the bonding agent that holds it all together actually "furments"! I had to painstakingly remove it all and wow what a difference... 
How can Acoustic Revive RR-888 produce 7.83hz?
I have no idea how it works but I've brougth one over to 5 friends homes and every one heard an improvement and bought one, some rooms were more subtle that others and some were jaw dropping good!(Dealer disclaimer)PS: If you live in the Boston ar... 
AMR DP 777 or LampizatOr Level 5
I ordered the new AMR SE player and waited and waited and waited, after over 10 months I went and bought a Lampizator BIG 6 (with DSD) and have not looked back....wonderful unit! 
Stand out phono stages
Wow I've listened to the 47 labs phonocube and it wouldn't even make my top 25! IMHO 
Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already???
Hi end audio will never die but as the upper middle class diminishes there will be less people buying the very hi-end (expensive) gear. I believe this is why prices also keep increasing b/c there are less people buying so manufacutures have to ask... 
atmasphere 6as7g output tubes.
I'm a new Atmasphere dealer but of the 3 x S30 amps and 2 x M60 amps I've sold I now only use a Russian 6H13C tube with the best sonic results and no arching. As Ralph states preconditioning really helps. On the side of the tube etched in a box on... 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
So tube rolling has been a great exercise and lots of fun now what hasn't surprised me is that ac cords change the sound of this dac to a good degree. I've settled on am ALLBIT Consequence by Audiomica. What has surprised me is USB cables all soun... 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
Wisnon the links didn't work. I posted a pic on audioasylum under Tubes. 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
Nope note even close looking.It looks more like a Marconi U52 rectifier with a large round base. 
Is the Esoteric P03/D03 still relevant?
I've owned several Esoteric players, great drive mechanisms but the sound to my ears was just to sterile YMMV. 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
So yet another rectifier tried with very nice results. Maybe someone can tell me what tube it is from this description. On the glass itself it has:U5 2 with and arrow above these numbers and the letter Z next to the up arrow.Then there's a dark ye... 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
The CV378 has the KB/DA designation on the tube and if you looked up Mullard CV378 they are identical. Although they do not say Mullard on the tube. Have not tried the GZ34 which again is a CV378 but have tried a CV575, NOS 5U4 and some 5R4 tubes ... 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
WOW! I replaced the 5U8C that came with my BIG 6 (274b) with a CV378 KB/DA rectifier tube and just unbelievable how the sound has transformed! Fuller, more detail, deeper soundstage, speakers disappear even more now and the slam that was missing i... 
Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
Lukasz just confirmed I can use a 5U4, GZ34, 5R4, CV378 or CV575 in place of the 274b tube. I have many different rectifiers and have always liked the CV378 that was used in my Kondo amp. Will give several of these a listen to over the next severa...
