Lampizator Golden Gate

Thanks Fred! It was great to meet you, Rob and Lucasz and hang out. Admittedly, I had to restrain myself from every person that walked up and poked around at my DAC. "Get your grubby fingers off my DAC was always on the tip of my tongue!" [emoji14]

LoL. Funny.

Now lets see some tube porn pictures. I understand you now have a stash? Show us those DHTs.

Maybe its time to start a tube rolling thread here?

Found these recti's in my stash. Forgot I had them! LOL. These are the balanced RCA recti's. Sweet. Can't even remember why I bought them. I think it was an old amp I had in the 90's.

I talked to Lukasz about it and he said wait for him to figure out a way to tube roll with the balanced version.

Beautiful! Should congratulations be in order or would it be just for review?

Thank you. It's all mine! I listened to DSD this morning and I just kept thinking "new DAC, all new tubes and it sounds this good already?" As things break in it will be scary.

Enjoy :)

They should really make the beautiful copper case an option - without the GG decorative placque, of course :)

Given that your Pass is fully balanced and the balanced version of the Big 7 is due (rumoured to cost EUR 3,000 more), was there any hint or suggestion from the Lampi guys that the GG in SE form would be better than the Big 7 in balanced form in a fully balanced system? Understand if that is a difficult question.

Or, does the ability to roll tubes outweigh the fully balanced chain?

He could always upgrade later...Lampi is hand built.

Mike, let us have some prelim feedback on DSD256. Surely you have tried that by now. Lots of free samples online...

Lukasz is against offering the copper chassis on the Big 7 as an option, wants to keep it as a specific identity for the GG .
I believe it's plus €2000 for the balanced Big7 , €3000 for the balanced GG .
From first reports the balanced Big7 is quiter , more dynamic with a larger soundstage .
There might be , just might be in the coming months a rework of the chassis . Outfitting it with heat sinks and other methods to control the heat dissipation , that would allow tube rolling .

Hi Mike,

Congratulations!!! She is a beauty. I love the copper chassis. I'm looking forward to another Lampi review. I'm really curious how much of an increase in sound quality the GG gives you over the B7. The DSD must be sublime.

Enjoy,
Ken
 
Mike, congrats. Eagerly await feedback on DSD, double DSD, etc!:audiophile:
 
Mike,

Any particular DSD downloads that are absolutely blowing you away? Any jazz ones??

Best,
Ken
 
Thanks guys. Ken - there are so many good DSD downloads. I never got to the DSD256 files, but I will tomorrow. I rolled in some 300b's and my old RCA rectifier tonight.

Eagerly awaiting DSD4x feedback here. Not much has been said online anywhere. As you are a DSD junkie like me, I am sure you will give a thorough run down of the experience. I have to find a way to upgrade...Bonzo did already and AL has it in his HeadDac.

Native DSD has a free album (Just Listen) where a few songs are availaible at different DSD rates including DSD4x (256). On top of that, they have the test Mendelssohn album on different ADCs at different rates here: https://justlisten.nativedsd.com/albums/mendelssohn-session

Dayum, the Psvane replicas in the GG look fabulous!

Some guys are now talking glowingly about the Elrog 300bs, but I recall that the Sophia Electric Carbon Princess 300B (2.5v version) was a hit a few months back ($550 pair new).
