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!

I finally compared the "stock" Sylvania VT-99 tubes with a pair of National Union VT-99 tubes. The NU tubes are far more dynamic, lively, spatial compared to the Sylvania having a rather dark and somewhat flat presentation. Three hours with the Sylvania was all I could handle after hearing the far more exciting NU tubes. If you're running an L6 with the Sylvania tubes, you are missing so much magic that comes with using the NU tubes.

Perhaps the Raytheon or Tung-Sol VT-99's might bring on further magic, but the NU VT-99's for now are outstanding. It is easy to sit here for hours and hours and listen to music I have heard for 10-20 years, mostly on LPs and hear so much new detail. Now that's saying a lot!

My favourite, though unheard is the Big 7!!!!

Most intriguing concept.

Hi Lukasz, Does level 7 down samples high resolution input like level 6 does? I'm not sure if both level 6 and 7 uses the same dac chip. On redbook material how would you compare the sound between level 6 and level 7?

Hi, will like to use this thread to ask what's the best way to reach Lampizator?

After reading all the feedback, I am interested in getting one (not sure of which level yet). I sent a mail the email address published on their web but have yet heard from them. So I am wondering how can I reach them.

Thanks.
