Lampizator Transport?

Hi Glory.

Thanks for the info. I thought i was the only one who has experienced problems with the transport. I got mine back in april/May and have not been a happy customer. I have connectivity issues and have spent more time mucking around trying to get the unit working than listening to music.I have spent money on a new router, changed my computer locations etccc only to find out that it was the Lampizators fault and not mine. for reference i have a squeezebox Duet for 3 years and it has NEVER given me any problems

all credit to the Australian distributor whom insisted that Lucaz send me out a new unit. after 2 months of waiting the new unit arrived only to be Dead on arrival.

when i have got the unit working, it is a great sounding product, but its not enough to make up with the frustration of the sheer unreliability.

Do you know how many units the US distributor had faults with. The US being such a big market, i would have thought he would have sold quite a few. I am the only one in Australia that has got one.

the problems i am having has got nothing to do with my network, its the Lampizator itself. Like i said i have a normal squeezebox Duet and it performs perfectly. It receives a strong signal. The Lampizator with its external antennae fails to connect to the network many times. When it does its signal stength is dismal.For eg: In an area where my network strenth is close to 100%, the normal squeezebox would be constantly be 70% strength. the Lamp would be anywhere from 0%, 2%, 30% or 60%.

When the Lamp is working, it is a glorious sounding machine. Playing hi-rez files really makes one wonder whether it is worthwhile having a Vinyl rig!!!!!

But when its not working, i feel like just chucking the damn thing away. Some days i spend 15 mins just to connect, other days it will not work at all. Its like pot luck whether one gets music or not.Even when its working, there is long buffering, dropouts etc.... which does not affect my CHEAP Duet!!!!!

I have got the Aussie importer and my dealer coming on Sat to try and fix the Lamp for the second time. They say that they now suspect that it is the antennae connector in the Lamp. I hope so, for if they dont fix it this weekend, i will ask for a full refund. They also have not found out what was wrong with the replacement transport that Lukasz sent that was DOA. Even if they fix it, i have lost confidence with the Lampizator company. Its like buying a new car that keeps on breaking down and getting recalls.

Lukasz should have issued a statement to his customers when he knew there were problems. At least it would have saved me a friggin lot of time trying to find what was the problem!!!!!

I thought it was only me, but the US distribtor confirmed that he has problems( There must be others that have the same problems)

This week, a miracle happened with the Lamp working for 2 days straight. But alas the last 2 days being futile with the Lamp not able to connect with the network.

I keep my fingers crossed that a solution would be found this Saturday.

Great you have it up and going! my distributor finally fixed mine by installing 2 computer internal antennae and bypassing the external antennae. It now has a stronger and more stable signal strength.
