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!

Funny, the leader of the pack is always the target and competitors always state they have something as good or better for less money. Duelund is king right now and we will see.

They may or may not be as good in a speaker, amp, dac etc......Need to try in these various applications first to see how they perform.

Still loving my L4!

Hi,
Right now I own PWD II and Bridge. A friend has a L3.5 I believe it sounds great. But I'm considering switching to Lampizator possibly a L5 set up. Any one compared this to L4 or Big Six? Any thought would be appreciated before I possibly switch. Also any comparisons to PWD II would be great as well. I'll be using it in a system featuring Coda amps and preamp with Legacy Aeris or the new Helix when it is available.
Thanks in advance.

I've been talking with Gopher. I'm a friend of Jim Yorkshire and have heard his many times. Surely Glory, Agear, or Grannyring have some thoughts or experiences.
Thanks in advance.

You are stuck with a 40 tube! There is no replacement drop in Tube for the 40 . Have L send you a replacement tube socket for 182.
