I just received my Level 4 a few weeks ago. It really is exceptional. Musical is the best way to describe it. I have made a series changes to my system since the spring including a TRL Dude preamp and then getting everything on Sistrum stands. Each of these changes was a significant improvement. But I have to say the Lampizator is transformative.
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!

Glad you posted this thread Grannyring, it's an end of the road, serious piece of gear like the Dude we have (similar TRL build standards) I followed Lukasz from his beginnings and took his advice on the CEC transport mods, which also made a huge impact on musicality, he really knows his stuff. |
Hchilcoat, I also have the Tube Research Labs Dude and it is to preamps what the Lampy is to DAC's. Both are world class and breakthrough products. I bet your system sounds great. What speakers are you listening to? Rx8man, I bet a CEC transport, with select mods, would be a great combo with the Lampy. |
