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!

Going back to the Jenson vs Duelund. Okay, the Jenson is said to sound sweet, warm, and smooth (relatively speaking) and the Duelunds are said to sound more real. If that is the case, does real mean if you have a bright or harsh recording that will be emphasized with the Duelund with a higher chance of listening fatigue? If one has more pop/rock recordings wouldn't make more sense to go with Jensons?
Kclone I am very familiar with both caps and just looked at your system. The quick answer is yes to your thoughts. You are correct in general terms.

You have SS amps and an already revealing system based on what I see. Now the only question is what kind of sound do you like? If you think you would like more warmth and body as your system treads on being too " laying bare the good, bad, and ugly" then go for the Jensen. If you are right where you want to be, even on mediocre and poor recordings, then go for the Duelund. The CAST are not as forgiving and do play exactly what they are given. The Jensens tame things a tad and are very easy on the ears. They still provide plenty of detail and dynamics.
I have changed my system a little since I put that up. I now have a Herron VTSP 3a (R02 Version) preamp and a Burmester 911 MK3 power amp. Any I appreciate your input Grannyring.
Bill, have you heard the rumblings about the new Jupiter caps being better than Duelunds ? (http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=119876.0)
