I've not heard the SUT but I believe they use LhundallProbably a long shot on this old thread, but... Has anyone heard the Lampizator MC-SUT-A? It's a step-up with two inputs and four different variable loading options. Not sure what transformers Lampi uses. Maybe their own? Seems like this might have the same ones in the MC phono stage.
At any rate, I have the MC-SUT-A coming my way from a local-ish dealer, so will have a chance to test it, eventually. But curious if anyone's had ears on. It looks well made at any rate.
The Lampi SUT arrived today (very quick shipping), and it is... massive. Like full rack-width size. I've never seen a bigger SUT. While this is sort of exciting in a way, they pretty obviously re-used the case from one of their other products, as there's a lot of empty space inside. (Just from peering through the vent holes. I haven't popped the lid yet.)I've not heard the SUT but I believe they use Lhundall
What other Phonos did you compare the Lampi to before you pulled the trigger?Love to know how it sounds. I have the VP4 Silver phono. It is game changing
Not a ton of experience. I tried the Goldnote solid state range—budget to top, Mofi and my buddy’s tube phono from Jadis.What other Phonos did you compare the Lampi to before you pulled the trigger?
Thanks for your answer.Not a ton of experience. I tried the Goldnote solid state range—budget to top, Mofi and my buddy’s tube phono from Jadis.
I kind of leapt on faith, based on my Pacific and Horizon experiences and some discussions with local Lampi dealer and Lukasz. I have not been disappointed with it. My buddies all are amazed at it as well…. Are you contemplating one?
P.S. I dont have a line stage currently and run it balanced directly to Horizon’s analogue input. Combo is glorious…. Currently spinning Prayer Meetin’ by Jimmy Smith. Oh man….
You (of all peopleNo. Lukasz strongly advises against it so i left them. It sounds so good. Not sure i need it.
Did you have a look at the stock tubes in your VP4 in the meantime?No. Lukasz strongly advises against it so i left them. It sounds so good. Not sure i need it.
I felt the same, but then heard Vinyly and wow!
