    Never tried nor heard so I can't comment (single/double triodes in TRP)

    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)...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    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...

    Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

    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.

    Best NOS 10y Tube

    Lets say that I have majority of "best" 10Y and variants options - Radiotron 801 black plates, Radiotron 801 silver plates (both globe and very rare), WE VT25, Taylor Vt25 carbon plates, VT25 normal ones, different ST shape 10Y tubes, Elrog 801 and proudly above all stands 801 globe black...

    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).

    Very much so!

    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...

    Lampizator VP4 Silver: Can vinyl get to the level of digital and if so at what cost?

    What is wrong with that? In case it happens...(and will not)

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    After hearing Poseidon and owing Pacific 1 for years I would say using boxing jargon: "KO in first round".

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Keith not sure if there will ever be Pac 3. Engines Poseidon vs Horizon are not the same afaik. Actually wondering what is the diff full blown Poseidon preamp vs Poseidon DAC with one preamp input.

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Yes i would agree with first part when You use it in DAC mode. I don't get the other part. What do you mean by switch to full level after start up? If going into standby mode, VC remembers last "volume" setting on particular digital input. It goes to -63dB only after hard turn off at the master...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Not really sure how to start this post but as some may know, and I repeated this in several posts, I've had luck to own or hear many, or should I say, almost all Lampi DACs in their portfolio for the last 7/8 years. Hence I have a basic understanding on how each of them sound and their...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    All of the tubes You mentioned above have been tried and if any stands out as a favorite in many systems is f2a with maybe 80 Globe as a rectifier preference for TRP. But of course, this is system and owners' ears dependent, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt. Anyhow all above you...

    I've been of course - thats why I'm telling you to go. But since, he got new pre and phono pre from Soulution and tape as well, so all is top notch. If my room would be of normal dimensions, I would have ordered Minuete long time ago but as I don't have sufficient space from the back wall i...
