    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Thanks designsfx. I have read your comments on the Sylvania VT94. I had already ordered the adapters for the CV6 tubes from the source you linked in your message. They are on their way. What I would like is an indirectly heated triode alternative for the Siemens F2a. Buburna stated that the...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    My Lampizator Golden Atlantic TRP is back from lampizator with engine 11-p. It has now about 150 hours on it, and I start to get an idea on how it sounds compared to engine 53 of TRP-2. To me, the most important thing engine 11 brings is more control during complex passages in music. It is more...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Tungsol VT94D nowhere to find. L63 tubes are relatively expensive. I will try maybe later. But... I bought GEC CV6 tubes for decent money. Would you be so kind to provide me the link on where to buy the adapter. Thanks.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    I am very interested in the indirect heated triode tubes. Especially in relation to the F2a tube. I get your comment on the F2a tube. I appreciate the effort you and Designfx put into these IDHT. Is it possible to give an suggestion for the most open/airy and transparent sounding IDHT you have...

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    Hello Jonstine, Is it possible to post a picture of your TRP with F2a tubes with TP adapter and RGN2004 with TP adapter? I am going to order the TP adapters for the F2a tubes as well. And I already have the RGN2004 with TP adapter. Just curious how they look in the TRP dac. Thanks

    Review: Lampizator Horizon (vs Pacific 2 & Golden Atlantic TRP3)

    Outstanding! Thank you for such a thorough review. I have read that you use the WE422a as benchmark rectifier for the TRP. Why? I have that one too. Of course it is good, but what happens if you use the top of the line 4 volt rectifiers you use for the Pacific and Horizon. I am testing a few 4...

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    Mine had a long break-in period too. After about 100 hours they really started to sing and become very holographic. In the beginning they sounded a bit 'technical' . Detailed but not organic.

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I know the PT14 tubes in the Lampizator DHT dacs have been praised many times. I have been listening to them with the TP adapters for about a week now, and I am impressed too. The PT14 is indeed a very transparent tube. They have an incredible see through quality. Clear as the blue sky. What...

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I have posted something similar about 2 years ago in the Atlantic TRP thread. This is my view on the WE274B and Elrog 274B rectifier tube. I especially selected these two tubes as they are my favorite 5 volt rectifier tubes in the Golden Gate (3). I have compared them to the GEC U52 Sylvania...

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    Hello carlsbad. Glad you solved the brightness. I too use the Elrog 274B with Golden gate with engine 11-p. Did you by any chance compared the Elrog 274B with any of the 'great' 4 volt rectifiers such as RGN2004 or 2504? In my system I prefer the Elrog 274B over the other great 5 volt...

    Any updates on the engine 11 vs engine 53 digital board? I am very curious...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Thanks. I think they found out when working on your TRP that it was too much effort.... That is your luck. Please inform us about the improvements of engine 11. Then I make up my mind what to do.
