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!

Input caps?

Yeah, small value (0.1uf) Duelunds apparently sound good there (digital input). Makes the bass more Duelund-like. Small Alu jupiters work well there too. The copper jupiters not ready yet, so we can only speculate.

I hear there is a cheap no name cap that works REALLY great for output, but not for digital section. This is nice cheaper alternative for L4 guys who are not capacitor brand conscious and dont want to stretch the budget for the the Duelund upgrade.

Wisnon,

I know! I'm quite excited for this show--I think we will have everything dialed in on time and be ready for action when the doors open.

Vapor will be featuring their new "mini-Nimbus" speaker called Derecho. Per Ryan: it will look like a bulked up, floor standing Cirrus. It will feature dual 8" pro-sound woofers, a high sensitivity ultra low distortion 6.5" mid, and the RAAL 70-20XR tweeter and is supposed to be around $8k.
