I am excited to report that the Olympus XDMI is playing beautifully via Lampi Link into the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC at Munich 2024 as it makes it's world debut.
Hi Skids,
Did we already speak? I don't recognize your profile, but drop me a line and we'll see what we can arrange.
Also as a gentle FYI, Lampi is not affiliated with Final Touch Audio beyond the fact that I carry both lines in North America.
Best,
Fred A.
P.S. Perhaps the...
Unfortunately I will not be there in person this year. Hoping next year is my year, but with the addition of another show in Dallas and a planned event at Steven Williams home, I was at my travel threshold.
Those who will be at Munich will be in for a big treat though. The room featuring the...
Thank you for taking the time to make this fantastic writeup of your history with LampizatOr and Taiko! It was simultaneously enjoyable and informative and we are very glad to have been able to have a positive impact on your listening enjoyment.
Many of you have been asking about the start of...
I can only imagine how amazing this tri-amped setup must sound. Truly remarkable--a big congrats to the new owner on this absolutely magnificent setup... Wow!
I can chime in and say that I was one of the original guinea pigs for the Poseidon tube rolling experiment. Laszlo was goodly enough to set me up with a set up TP adapters for both ECC40 tubes and a set of 4654 tubes and I can report both as being a very nice step forward.
When I directly...
For those planning on making it to the South West Audio Fest in Dallas next week, we cordially invite you to visit with us in one of the two fabulous rooms we will feature the Poseidon DAC in, both along side truly world class partners.
In the Carpenter Ballroom we will feature a Poseidon along...
Unfortunately this is probably not the correct venue for shootouts, but I'm sure there will be plenty of feedback on the Poseidon as a preamp in the weeks to come, now that they've begun shipping.
We are live at the Florida Audio Expo 2024!
Please join us in the Westshore Ballroom as the Poseidon makes it's world debut on the incredible Acora Acoustics VRC statement speakers and latest VAC Statement electronics.
We're already making a very special sound you won't want to miss!
This is outstanding. In a similar time frame in Chicago, I am hoping to make AXPONA 2024 the debut of the Olympus XDMI server natively connected to the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC. Our system will be in Suite #1621 which will feature a high end system comprised of Von Schweikert Audio and...
I should also share that the tube rolling experimentation has commenced!
In the parlor now is a Poseidon DAC with TP adapters sporting Tungsram a pv4200 rectifier, ECC40s and 4654 tubes.
I got a heads up on this post and wanted to address it. I'm not directly familiar with the matter, but sorry for any delay troubleshooting. Between the time zone differences and a never ending stream of emails it can take an extra day or so for the factory to respond.
A while back we...
As the first Poesidon DACs begin to roll out, we wish to make the very exciting announcement that our Poseidon will be 100% compatible with the new Taiko Audio XDMI protocol. We will support, without compromise, the full format and all sample rates. Details will be announced soon, but we are...
Announcement:
We are very pleased to announce that the Horizon DAC will be 100% compatible with the new Taiko Audio XDMI protocol. We will support, without compromise, the full format and all sample rates. Details will be announced soon, including on retrofitting Horizons DACs in the...
We are investigating the possibility of bringing it to the Pacific as well and preliminarily it seems feasible. While we can't promise it, it is promising. ;)
Edit: I see Emile already responded here.
Rest assured, guys. LampizatOr is on the case and presently working on being able to fully leverage XDMI in order that the best DAC on the planet can leverage the capabilities of the best Taiko server. Stay tuned all, we'll have an announcement in the New Year!
Best,
Fred A.
In my experience, I tried mixing 2 RS1003s with 2 KT170s in hopes of being able to share 2 of a matched quad with a friend, also running balanced with his Horizon. I was hopeful after reading of others mixing in balanced that the difference would be negligible, but the sound I got was pretty...
Adam,
We demonstrate them in our two long island parlors with 99db efficency horns byTobian Sound Systems to tremendous effect. We've also showed them domestically with 92db GT Audio Works Reference 3 speakers and it was a wonderful pairing.
All of their merits are on full display with high...
Some fantastic feedback on the LampizatOr Poseidon from the Warsaw Show.
"LampizatOr / Sveda Audio / J.Sikora / KBL Sound. Finally, we crossed paths with the one and only Lukasz Fikus from LampizatOr, and boy, did we have a tapestry of tales to swap about the analog and digital realms, vacuum...
Good eye! The rest is a Siemens c3g in a TP adapter and I've got some Tungsram 12bh7s hiding in the back which I've preferred to most of what I've tried to replace them with.
In much the same manner as people are only just discovering how far the Horizon can be taken, I thought it was worthy of mention that my eyes have been opened on the Baltic 4.
At the urging of a friend, I gave this combo a go and I've gotta say... wow!
I hope this message finds you well and immersed in great music.
I wanted to take a moment to provide a brief update regarding the availability and delivery of our Poseidon DACs, as there have been a number of inquiries on this topic recently.
We are pleased to share that the production process...
Hello,
The trade in program has been formally discontinued for about a year now, however, you may feel free to reach out to me directly to see if we are able to structure something for you.
Best,
Fred A.
While the comment might've been made in jest, it causes me to reflect on my time working with Lukasz Fikus over the past decade. His philosophies truly stand out.
What captivated me about Lukasz's work years ago was his clear vision and unwavering dedication to the audio world. I probably won't...
