What are your questions? I have had the Lampi Pacific and Horizon. The build quality on each was extremely good. Tube rolling is not necessary but everyone does it. It is fun to change tubes to find your sweet spot. Once you find it, you usually stick with it. If you really want to read about Lampizator, goto What's Best Forum. There are probably 30 threads on different Lampi products under the digital section. BTW, I have had at least 7 DACs in the last ten years and Lampizator is the best DAC I have owned,

In reading owners input on various forums there seems to be question with regards to the output level on certain previous models. I believe the newer models offer a high/low output setting on the back of the unit while others just reduce the output volume (if their dac is configured with one). From what I’ve read various methods have been offered for solving this but I’m trying to learn more about the various output levels specified across models and which preamps are agnostic to these DAC’s high output levels. Is there any impact to sound quality by running at a reduced volume output and/or would this be something that requires constant adjustment (with the use of various tubes?) Wondering if other owners have experienced these issues with Lampizator, what other components were in the chain and if they experience distortion how was it mitigated. |
@willgolf My question to you is: Do you know why Lampi started making dac’s with indirect heated tubes and later they switched to DHT and now their flagship unit Horizon is back to using IHT with the wapping price tag of 49,000.00. Did they ran out of ideas or the new trend is part of their marketing scheme? Your unbiased input , on this matter, will be appreciated. willgolf |
