Paul Weitzel from Tube Research Labs
Very sad indeed at this news. I've known Paul via the phone for several years. I always looked forward to our conversations. We spoke about my Dude, audio in general, the care of our parents, fishing, and the latest news, sometimes for hours. I be... 
Review: Lampizator Level 5, Big 7, and the Amber DAC DA converter
Hi,Thanks for the positive remarks about my review. It was fun to write and fun to own Lampizator equipment. I now own a Lampi Big 7 Balanced. Sounds more quiet than my original Big 7. I think you'll love the Big 5. I sure enjoyed mine when I owne... 
What is the best usb convertor
The Lampi USB Transport is something to treasure. I've owned one for a couple of years now. Recently I purchased Uptone Audio's REGEN to see what all the fuss was about and see if it could make USB sound as good as the USB Transport. The short ans... 
which sub to get
Don't rule out the Legacy Audio Subs. They make 4 models: the Goliath, (The ultra-high performance Goliath XD subwoofer from Legacy will match the dynamic range of even the most efficient speakers. Massive motors on dual 15" Silver/Graphite/Rohace... 
Lampizator USB Transport vs. Berkeley Alpha USB
I have been listening to the Lampi USB transport for several months. As good as my L5 USB is the USB Transport makes everything better. Bass is tighter and more defined. Blacker background. Musical instrument cues just decay gradually into the bac... 
Has anyone heard the Legacy Aeris?
I have heard Aeris several times. I really like them- a lot. They have the ability to just let the "music" go and dare any material played to challenge them. They can sound thunderous, delicate, detailed, smooth, throw a huge soundstage, and have ... 
Help on Optimizing Dedicated PC as Music Server
Oh yes. Consult CA. I like those guys but it seems they are good friends of the jRiver folks and pretty much stick to the party line. . .. . JPlay is a waste of time and money. It is amazing to me that the jRiver people swear there can be no sonic... 
Help on Optimizing Dedicated PC as Music Server
I've read all the disclaimers made by the good folks of jriver regarding jPlay. Several friend and I have listened critically to jRiver with and without the use of jPlay. The results did not take any magic or audiophile ears to discern. jPlay made... 
Lampi Transport vs Aurender/Lumin etc
Hi,While I've not compared the Lampi Transports to any of the above, I do have experience with both the USB (a USB to SPIDF converter with tubes) and the SBT Transports ( Lukasz takes a Squeezebox Touch, disassembles it and provides it with a bett...

Wells Innamorata vs CODA 15.5??????????
For what it's worth, (I've listened to Whispers, owned Helix and Focus, and owned Salon 1s, listened several times to Salon 2s) I'd buy the Whispers. They have a way of producing music that is just uncanny. The Salon's sound is what impresses audi...

New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Yes, Jim is the best. Oh, I still think about the decision. Did I really hear what I heard? Was I imagining things. Luckily another great friend, Wayne, was there until the wee hours and he remembers the same things. A wide, deep, and spacious sou...

Hifial,I believe you are destined to be a fan boy! I'm a Lampi convert!My friend Jim has been espousing the merits of his Level 4 (now for sale here as he's updating). I listened many times. We have the same speakers(Legacy Focus SEs). I owned the...

Mbovaird,"I recently decided to buy some legacy speakers . . . ""Why"Why not? Have you heard Legacy Focus, Whisper, or Aeris, I'll bet if you did you'd know why. They have all earned great write ups in magazines like Absolute Sound and Stereophile...
