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!

Abruce, the did run it direct for a while and it apparently sounded very good that way. What is your preference? I will try both.

That's too bad was hoping to find out if the Dude helped the sound or was the Lamizator great on its own

Abruce, yes it was because the Dude preamp needed breakin.
Speaker is new, Dude is new ... that's what I called excellent show preparation. So what was broken in, component rack? LOL!

Knghifi, the reality is that almost everything at CES or any show is new. That is why at Friday through Sunday shows, you really should just show up on Sunday.

Abruce, time for me to come over with my Dude again and instead of a preamp shoot out perhaps we now compare to the Lampy volume control?
