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!

Coat,

Had both. LT had that tube sound to it. Did 88 and that was it.

New MM setup by Larry Moore is a different animal than the LT. Let's say I am not running after another LT.

Glory,

Did you every change the rectifier tube? I've got the same Benedix in my TranspOrt as in my Big Six and it is a similar upgrade there. I tried one for the sake of experimenting, not expecting much--it is significant.

I'll take the Pepsi Challenge with my LT vs the MM stuff. :)

Fred,

Never do the B with my LT. Should have but was told by M/L it would do no good. What do they know? If L can do a LT to do DSD/hiRez I would buy one. 88 just will not work for me.

Is the Big 6 still BIG or is it shrinking? Have you tried all the different 6SN7 tubes?

I would expect the LT to smoke a mini regardless of mods. Glory used to wax poetic about his and how it made his modded mini with linear ps sound broken. Mistake to sell...at least for Redbook duty....
