| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house CharlesI looked into the bottom of my TVIII speakers tonight. My tweeter has one 15 oHm resistor/10 watt and what looks like a 3uf cap. The resistor is a cheap sandcast and the cap is a Solen. Boy there is room for improvement when I get to it! Al... | |
| The future of preamps Tube preamps, a great tube preamp will always be a part of great sounding high end systems. They will not go away. No, they are indispensable to many with an ear for natural tone. They day they do is the day the music dies :-) | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bruce,I will let you know what the Offramp does. It will be interesting as Steve at Empirical is confident I will hear a nice improvement over USB into our Lampys. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Charles, I am using several amps including a 45, 2a3 and some others I am doing some work on. However, my main amps are Thor TPA 30's with some nice mods done. These are wonderful tube monoblock amps using the EL34 tube. They are very special and ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi all. I use both the USB and RCA input on my Lampy. I have always wondered if a great USB to RCA converter would sound better than using the USB input on the Lampy.I will soon know as I am trying an Empirical Audio Offramp converter tomorrow. Wa... | |
| The future of preamps Based on my experience the preamp is the heart and soul of a system. Sure one can argue I don't need fine food or Parma ham to survive, but these foods are simply more enjoyable than bread and water. Ya, I can survive without them. Yes, my system ... | |
| incredible inexpensive speaker What good reason? I like your post on these speakers and love it when folks get excited about good value gear! No reason to fear as in the end just check them out for yourself. | |
| incredible inexpensive speaker Glad you like them! Enjoy! | |
| Power supply improvement for CD player Great posts! Great.....I love it. Agoners learn! | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Problem is even a treated room won't give a flat response all times. I know as I have a treated room. A treated room is a starting place..... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Yes they have a place and to say they don't is error. Unless your room delivers a flat response curve from 20 htz to 20,000 htz , you are not hearing what your gear or recording should sound like.A good EQ, like the one in Amarra, can get you clos... | |
| What is the missing element? Steve, do you think there is a sonic advantage to using the Offramp 5 with a high end dac like the Lampizator? I use my 2009 mini USB to the Lampi USB input. The Lampi also has an RCA input in addition to the USB.Thanks | |
| What is the missing element? Thanks Steve | |
| What is the missing element? All tech stuff thrown out for a second, my USB cable from my 2009 mini to my Lampizator dac USB input is sonic heaven beyond anything I have ever heard on my front end.No separate USB converter, just beautiful sound beyond any CD player or disc sp... | |
| Can better parts..... The use of better parts like Duelund CAST caps are a no-brainer and always make gear sound better. No need to know the circuit, just replace that cheap cap with Duelund CAST or top line Jensen copper foil. The improvement will shock you folks. No ... |
