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!

Gary, I knew you would appreciate that....yuk, yuk...

With audio sound as well as women, I prefer natural to artificial if given the choice.

Common male misperception. Its not your "choice" at all. So Charles, if the choice were truly yours, you would go with a national geographic aesthetic?

It's my choice certainly in regards to what I find appealing, we're talking cosmetics aren't we. In the context of Glory's analogy it's absolutely appropriate. No National Geographic, just nice, fit and athletic.

Are we still talking boobs here (shame on you Glory)? If we are, a pornographic aesthetic references an object whereas a true aesthetic encompasses the subject and is therefore relational.

Regarding the Lampizator, its pretty clear where Lucas falls on this subject:

This piece of advertising may well have subconsciously influenced Glory and his choice of analogies. Yuk, yuk, yuk....
