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!

Bill, I know many philes would blessed by a system thread from you. I have always appreciated your zeal and passion and the good guidance you have given me over the years. That way, we can bandy around information for the sake of sound and music minus the politicking and conscious and subconscious agendas that so often infest equipment-specifc threads....:)
Gearhead ticking some folks off is he?
Sharp pen and no L4 OR L5 nor L7 does it every time.
I've attended CES 6 times and on a number of occasions have been in the room with prominent reviewers listening to the same demonstrations. While they smile and nod their heads in approval I sit there and think the sound is dry, highly processed audiophile check list hifi. I'm probably spoiled from years of hearing live jazz in small un -miked venues. If a component cannot reproduce full tone, body, harmonics, dynamics and convey music's emotion, it's a failed product. There were a number of expensive systems at CES that failed in my opinion. Analytical -sterile and devoid of life and emotion.

Metralla - these that you mention are not digital application of tubes. These tubes are all used in the analog output stages.

Thanks for the clarification. I misread the point that was being made.

Regards,
I have worked Concert Fidelity rooms for 4 years now and have heard them with the Kaiser Kowero speakers and some others. In my opinion the TAD CR-1 speakers made for the best pairing with their electronics. This CES was my favorite CF set up.

Charles, if you were at RMAF in 2011 we crossed paths back then as I worked that room. Would be interested in your thoughts on the Kaiser's versus TAD.
