    Lampizator or PS Audio Directstream DAC Mk2?

    Now that I believe the TRP3 is now fully burned in, I am looking for some power tube options to consider moving forward. I know its a matter of taste but I prefer the fuller sound of the KT series tubes. Anyone out there tried different versions of the KT tubes and found a favourite? The stock...

    Yes I expect a burn in journey. I am leaving it on 24/7 in the early days and just leave it playing to help speed up the process.

    My TRP3 finally arrived this week! There has been some serious delivery problems on the dealer side but that was eventually solved. I only have one gripe and that is the eye on the front was supposed to be configured for power but that wasn't done. I am told that can be changed easily at some...

    Ouch! Nothing like rubbing salt in the wounds! But Honestly I'm glad you get to enjoy yours over the Holiday period. I'm not expecting mine for another couple of weeks at least. That is around 6-7 week lead time from point of order. Guess they must have been busy building yours! :-)

    Thanks for the info. I'm based in the Uk so maybe my experience should be different. I'm sure import duties etc are due but I suspect the dealer has taken account of that in the retail price!

    Thanks Carlsbad. Though I wasn't expecting to be contacted by DHL funnily enough, I was expecting the dealer to let me know. Wasn't expecting any further shipping costs either to be honest...

    No News yet on delivery so I suspect it will be new year now. Shame. I was hoping to spend Christmas with my new toy!

    Be interesting to see out there in UK which places/retailers members go to for their tube requirements.

    I am preempting a difficulty in getting matched quads as mine is also balanced. Here in the UK it seems getting some of these high end tubes comes with considerable import taxes and duty. Which is fine if you want to spend the cash but sucks in terms of overall value for money. I also do not...

    Hi All, Still waiting on a delivery date for the Atlantic 3, however I was looking to get ahead of myself and get some 'spare' tubes as backups. Can anyone suggest a relatively low cost option for a rectifier that doesnt sound too bad for the money?

    Thanks. Atlantic 3 TRP Balanced without volume control. I just couldn't resist the tubes.
