Lampizator Atlantic?

I just received mine last Thursday and have about 75 hrs on it.  Very nice sound, I like it better than my Luxman

Thanks for sharing, bugman03. I am surprised by the lack of discussion of the Atlantic here, but perhaps that will change as more people like you and me continue to buy them. There is a bit more discussion on other high end forums (Audio Circle and Audio Shark, to name a couple for those who might be interested).

Did you order yours stock, or go for any of the upgrades?

I ordered mine over the weekend with the tube rectifier and USB Superclock upgrades. Really looking forward to hearing it! For those of us who love the Lampizator sound but can't quite swing a Golden Gate, this just might be exactly what we are looking for. Time will tell.

I called the importer and ordered it.  I did not know of upgrades at the time I ordered 5 or 6 weeks ago.  I will contact the importer and find out.  Oh boy, I might have to send mine back for the upgrades.  I have about 120 hrs now and it getting much better than a few days ago!  I think that the Golden Gate might sound a litter warmer but I don't believe it will be 4X better.  The Atlantic has a large soundstage, great clarity and micro detail and it is emotionally engaging.  I might get too lazy and never get up and play vinyl again.  Too bad, I have a great and expensive analog system.  I hope you enjoy your Atlantic as much as I am enjoying mine.

The early reviews have been very positive, and I believe most of those were reviews on the stock version you have. I don't think some of the upgrades became available until a bit later. It sounds as if you might just be pretty happy with the Atlantic as it is. I love your description of its presentation, which is more or less just what I am looking for. I had the Big Six and really found it to be emotionally engaging as well. I foolishly sold it and regretted it almost immediately, but I am looking forward to seeing how the Atlantic compares. That Lampi sound is mesmerizing and addictive, methinks.
