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!

Talk to Rob Reich Sgr. He had a modded mini and now has a transport. No contest according to him.
Glory,

How about we both send our servers to Fred to end the debate once and for all during the Lamp Rave?

My PC server, your glorified MM, and Fred's Transport doing battle would be cool and helpful for all those interested.
Shawbros3, that's a grand idea. Enough audio blah blah.

For what it's worth, I will be using both a transport and a mini with my L5. A transport for redbook and a mini for hi rez/DSD (out of necessity). I will be looking at a dbsystems mini which is the only one I see out there that is modded internally with mu metal shielding, caps, etc. option 2 would be to use the Ifi stuff.
I have both MM '09 with LPS and new MM stock. The new MM to me is bettered so I think. Had the LT and it was great on RB but did not meet my needs for all material. Gave it away for $1.3K.

We all hear/see/feel and think different so a shoot maybe useless.

Had the L3/4/5 and the 5 is better than the 4 but by how much? Could I pick out the 4 from the 5 in my system? What if the 4 had a Stage 3 AC cable on it and the 5 had a cheap A$$ ,name your own maker, AC cable like most have will the 4 sound better? 5 has a bigger fuller sound but the 4 is better than most high $$$ dacs being sold today .

The game gets to complex to hear a 3% improvement that just might be a different sound than an improvement.

This hobby is like a man getting most all the chicks he can want. In the end he doesn't want to live with them long term so he unloads and reloads.

The L5 has bigger breasts but they hang and sag where the L4 has smaller athletic breasts made for road running. What level do you want??
