New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house


Wonder if any other new owners of this DAC are out there as I find it to be the finest digital playback I have heard to date. This is the first digital front end piece of gear I have owned that has transformed my music.

Ya, other digital gear does this or that better, but this Lampy breaks through to a new level of musical enjoyment. Clear view into the music helping the speakers just disappear. Only 24 hours of break in and the music flows so sweet, intimate and seemingly without boundaries.

Looking under the hood I see an impressive power supply with films caps and several high quality chokes. Point to point silver wired except for the digital and USB boards. This is a three tube player that is tube rectified. One has the option for SS rectification if desired.

Ya, I love this Lampy!

But I have to say the Lampizator is transformative.

In the digital domain, that is quite a statement. Congrats to Bill and Howard. I myself will be getting a Lampi when cash is available.

Great choice for sure. Like you said much to do with the power supply. Must have great dynamics and slam as well as many other attributes. Wonderful to know a manufacturer actually listens and compares many parts in the same location. I suspect many egos may claim that their circuit design is so good that parts selection would make no measureable difference. And if you cannot measure a difference then it cannot audibly exist. Not so in this product. Tom
Tom, Lucas also happens to be an engineer who left engineering to pursue his audio dream. That never hurts....
So your saying Lucas actually listens to parts and pieces of his work and doesn't just consult the same old cookbook and their 'gurged note for note . Tom
