    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    I might chime in here as I'm fully aware and understand your standpoint and @godofwealth as myself have full DHT based amplification - 10Y (and variants) in pre and 845 in power amps. Also massively love the presentation of 45s/46. I had entire line of Lampi DACs with DHTs (Big7, GG1, GG2, Pac)...

    Yes I have it in my Tobian SC12 DHT preamp...I had pictures of it somewhere - if I find them will post... But I believe he makes them in house...

    Sorry guys can we pls steer the topic back to Poseidon and relevant tubes for this DAC. There is plethora of threads releted to Pac, H, TRP etc.

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    You’ve already got the answer from the other guys but just to add - Lampi as is with stock tubes is a fantastic product so you can not go wrong. My PoV on tube rolling - If I can use the analogy from airline industry - you paid for the business class seat on the Singapore Airlines long haul...

    Best NOS 10y Tube

    Yes - that is the one i use daily. Can't remember when was the last time I used any of the other ones as this one is just the best one. TBH Elrog is also great but somewhat in my book behind NOS ones and more expensive on top...but you won't go wrong with WE or Taylor VT25 anyhow.

    ARC announces price increase effective Mid-March '24

    With all due respect that is your PoV - with whom ever I talked it had the same thinking as i wrote above. What Acora is doing is of course his business and marketing strategy, not necessarily be the right one (time will tell).

    Legacy of the Italian ownership :cool: (nothing against Italy btw - quite contrary)

    ARC announces price increase effective Mid-March '24

    One thing I was discussing with my audio buddies is why Acora in the last few shows was presenting with VAC being the competitor to ARC which they own. As a user or potential customer my thinking process would be - ARC is crap hence they demo with VAC. And BTW I was a long and happy ARC owner...
