    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    I am breaking in the 802 as well and have found them to be a refinement as well, especially in the bass. I think the upgrade is commensurate to the change from OS1 to rs1003

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    PS I really loved Lukasz’s metric in his interview with Ron at Axpona, where he said something about it taking him 30 seconds to lose himself into the music with the Pac and less the 5 with the Horizon. The “lost in music” metric should reign over audiophile discussions IMO. Way better than the...

    RIP Dicky Betts

    RIP one of the greatest slides ever to run glass down strings. May he be free, peaceful and find joy…. I had the great fortune to see him play a few times. What a legend! Been spinning lots all day in fare-thee-well….

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    Which is great if you enjoy the ride. For me, these slight improvements/changes keep me engaged in music and help me forget the gear. Tube rolling can be a cure for upgraditis… Also, I love tubes!

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    I don‘t know if I would move from Pac2 to Poseidon either, but Horizon is a step up. I owned both for long enough to say that it is better in every way. I think anyone who moved from Pac to Horizon would agree. I recently heard Pac2 vs Horizon and it didn’t change that IMHO.

    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    I agree. The others should take note. The “old guy reads from teleprompter in monotone voice” model has got to go.

    Farad or Sean Jacobs LPS for M Scaler

    SJ is way better. Do you have Wavestorm cables?

    You forgot all the “M’lord” stuff. “Great review M’lord“ or “M’lord said not to buy that.” If is measured by the lord, it is doctrine. If you go over there, you become more and more grateful for everything here. PS I love the “deleted” thread, a land of misfit posts

    Interesting. Thanks for the tip. I already bought one mono on accident of Django. I’d love to compare though!

    Hello from near Chicago

    Your system sounds like it is amazing! I would love to see it too. What do you stream from? How is the new dac?

    Record Weights: Weight vs Material

    The Thorens one looks really cool spinning, but it is very heavy. I worry it would dampen sound. It was hard to tell in teh shop with equipment I’m not used to

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

    When you are treated well and the product is great, loyalty is natural. The uptick with the VP4 was very apparent and not small.

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

    + It also looks SOOOOoooOO good on the shelves near the Horizon. SQ is 99% of my love for it, but just sayin’

    How would you spend my money?

    I had Mscaler and Dave both with SJ Power supply, before moving to Lampi Pacific and then Horizon. I would get that second power supply. And the Wavestorm interconnects between the mscaler and Dave if you dont have them already and grounding for all 4 units.

    Record Weights: Weight vs Material

    Do you think said clamp should be heavy or made of a certain material?

    Record Weights: Weight vs Material

    I didnt hear much. very subtle difference. Just was curious. the dealer said some people think the heavier the better but he thinks the material the clamp is made of is more important than the weight, i.e. how heavy it is.

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

    I was striving to get my analogue to the level of my digital (I know everyone says the other direction). the VP4 really got me there.

    Record Weights: Weight vs Material

    I was at the record store yesterday and listening to the Mofi point source speakers, which were cool (my buddy is looking into them), and checking out all these vintage TTs as well. Anyway, the boss did an experiment with a heavy record weight (Thorens) vs a tiny one with some special gibberish...

    The Vp4 silver has settled in and is unbelievable. Really incredible. Everything you expect from a Lampi flagship!

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    I wonder Gollum if you would try both, i.e. using Horizon as just dac and Poseidon as preamp. Since one can buy the Poseidon without the dac as a standalone preamp, I feel that this would be wonderful information and you are in a unique position to do it. If you don’t want to, I understand.
