Lovely system. Thanks for sharing, I am drooling over your Nagra VPA.
But I spy a Nagra HD DAC, not the Nagra Tube DAC which is the next iteration of the HD DAC (I think Nagra did themselves quite a bit of disservice with the DAC naming, for sure).
Thanks for your reply, coincidentally I spoke to this gentleman (jazzhead right?) just last week about the Lampi and the Neodio after your blog turned up in my googling of Neodio. Yeah he loves the pac, but I don't think he's heard the Nagra Tube DAC.
AFAIK, only Redphu has done proper compare...
Ah! I think you are the gentleman I referred to in my post #5. Thanks for dropping by and replying to my thread question.
Do you mind if I ask you if the tubes in your Lampi Pac were stock?
Also what server/streamer do you use with your Nagra Tube DAC?
I confess, I do love the Nagra Tube DAC...

Curious if this will be too big of a downgrade (or even a sideway swap or an upgrade)
My scenario/reason is to sell the tube dac, and buy either of the other two used, and use the excess funds to upgrade my analog rig.
Still wondering if it is a good idea. Nothing wrong with the Nagra Tube...
I really love the 300b tubes, as I have mentioned here: https://audiofool.substack.com/p/the-hunt-for-the-perfect-300b-amplifier
And now I am thinking of getting a Cortese, but I am thinking I want a bit of a change since I already own another 300b amp (Nagra), any thoughts of Cortese F2A vs...
Thanks for the heads up on the Shindo FB group, I was wondering where the Shindo addicts hang out these days.
What is your current system now? I wonder where people move on from Shindo :)
haha
haha, yes. That's why I have been making do with the stock tubes, a quad of 300b tubes are pricey!
Not using the glass tube would suck, they really add to the aesthetic value of the Nagra 300. Once I am done with other upgrades I might try a Takatsuki. I might try picking it up from...
