New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

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.

Ring,

I sent you a link on tubes. Did you get it?

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.

Yes, I got the note and thanks. Site shows no inventory, but I did email and am waiting for an answer.

Some Lamp tube talk here.

ECC40s were all made in the Herleen (spchk) factory cept for the Tunsgram ecc40s. I know from experience that the 5y3 or 6x5 rectis (depending upon which one you have) can be greatly improved with a NOS sub over the russian stock recti. Talking BIG improvment with a small ($10-$25) investment.

The Bendix is a interesting and rare recti sub but the circuit has to be modded to accept it. Without hearing it, I cannot comment. I'm suspect about it, since even NOS 5y3 or 6x5 is a huge uptick over the stock russian tubes.

I've read some people call the Bendix an aggressive sound. So between being stuck on having to buy a rare and pricey Bendix recti. NO tube rolling options, and doubtful I want my digital to sound aggressive, I will probably just stay curious unless, I get to hear it first.
