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've owned a L4 GEN 4 since April and have been addicted to it ever since. I had a MWTP about 9 dacs ago. The Modwright Transporter is very good digital and sounds it. Another words the new gen 4 Lamp does not sound digital AT ALL. This is what sets it apart from all 9 of my previous DACS.

So i assume any Lamp comparo favoring the MWTP, is VS a older non-current Lamp.

I could use your help on educating me on the tubes used in the Lampy and my alternatives. I know little about the ecc40 tube, except for the fact they seem hard to find. You mention EF80 and 800? Are these subs for the Ecc40?

I will try a different rectifier tube also.

The Lampy sounded so darn good last night that I was transfixed before my music.....

You typically don't hear that description of digital. It is usually somebody waxing poetic about their new tonearm or cartridge on their megabuck turntable. It is this sort of testimony that is driving me towards getting a Lampizator.

Re: ECC40

It was my understanding that all the ECC40s were made by one manufacturer except for the Tungsols so before tube rolling you may want to check with Lukasz.
