    Ediscreation's Firebird LPS - Another splash for CAS audiophiles

    May I know if the Firebird used with the cybershaft was with a custom voltage or 12V ? (as it seems Cybershaft is recommending 14V ) Thanks Alex

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    Thank you for sharing ! Now that many people had their Horizon for some time, I was wondering if we could briefly share the combo we are using ( and list what wehave tried ). On my side, didn't do much tube rolling yet... - Recti : Tak 274B ( tried KR 5U4G RK and EML 274B) - Output : TS KT170...

    Pacific dac: Lampizator's new top of the line dac

    Yes I’m Volts. 2V and 6V but it’s customisable I guess. Also this is valid for the output tubes you chose initially. Would you change afterwards the output tubes the absolute voltage will be different. I would suggest to target 6V with the tubes with the highest gain ( KR242) ( or go with the...

    Speaker decoupling options

    I did not update the thread but I chose to order Townshend platforms. And would they not be a good fit , I would try another solution… Well, after a few months with them, I can say without any hesitation that it tremendously help in my situation! Bass are tighter but not “tight” . Sounds much...

    Speaker Recommendation up to 70K

    I would add Goebel ( demoed with CH P electronics in Munich ) and YG ( I am biased…) to your list but the only piece of audio gear I wouldn’t buy « blind » are speakers .

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I can concur that adding tube dampers to KR 242 tubes is significantly reducing the microphony. I did it following the advice of some members here. I am trying to make a recap of the different combo ( output + recti) tested. Based on my reading, seems the KR242 is leading the pack in terms of...

    Speaker decoupling options

    I was feeling some kind of resonance and “smears”. I could feel low frequency pressure from the floor ( I don’t know if this is impacting the flat downstairs as well as “luckily” for me it’s empty). In my previous flat, I never had this sensation. I have big rugs between and in front of the...

    Speaker decoupling options

    Thanks all for your answers. The provided spikes are around 5cm high so as long as the new footers/platforms are close to this height, I should be “fine”. I have contacted both Townshend Audio and A/V Room service but as I am living in HK ,I won’t be able to use the return policy I believe. I...

    Speaker decoupling options

    Hi all, I am trying to identify the different ways to decouple my speakers from the floor ( I moved into a new flat and the floor is very different: tiles of “poor” quality, relatively bouncy floor. I am renting so I can’t fix the problem at the source ) . Right now, my speakers ( YG Sonja 2.2)...

    Preamp choice for GoldeGate2 and ATC SCM50 (~20-25k)

    Having listened to many preamps with a Lampi Pacific DAC ( no experience with the GG2 sorry), I can say that Viva Audio Linea preamp is a very good choice as well in this budget ( transparent, dynamic) . Riviera preamp is a very good preamp as well (probably a bit “richer” but never listened...
