    @keithc had an adapter issue as well. Not sure if it was from the same vendor.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Maybe someone here may know. When i play 24/48 bitrate files the volume seems much lower. I usually have to turn the knob up around 4 db on the lampizator to compensate. This is comparing both redbook and 24/48 versions of the same mastering. These are not being upsampled actively, they should...

    Just a heads up for NA Engine 11 users. Check your fuses as it seems they may be under rated and may pop. I had two pop and looking at the manual there was conflicting info so I emailed in... From Lampi: "...the USA rating should be 2x the EU rating and consequently the next best value is...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    I have a few things on the way. I would like a Puritan 156 but they go quick. Not saying the Lampi is a slouch but so much was put into the power sections of the Mojo that i think it was a bit more forgiving of anything it was fed.

    My chain: K50 (local files) -> Callisto USB -> Lampi GATRP3 -> Anticables 6.2 RCA -> Eddie Current Studio B -> Dana Lazuli Ultra -> OG Focal Utopia. The EC has 2 Elrog 300B-Mo, a Bendix 2c51, and a fat base Mullard GZ34, which all have been unchanged across DACs. Yes, I am a headphones person...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    On the base tier DAC yes a little, but mostly from it being a soft sound. When I upgraded to the SE and their totl X Z NC (an X SE with Z binned dac chipped and nano crystal chokes) no the treble was good. It was a very thick, warmer, ground pounding dac. Tons of weight, authority, grip...

    Are you willing to share the source for your tubes, here or in a DM? I see the 6J5GTs are plentiful and inexpensive, but as a Ford buff I would be looking for ones that have the "replace with genuine Fo. Mo. Co." text like yours look to have. I also want to confirm i see no adapters needed...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Hey all, I've been moving from a Mojo Mystique X to trying a GA TRP3 and adjusting to what the Lampi DAC brings. A few things that I miss from the Mojo are the powerful feel (it had "cajones”), macro dynamic emphasis (probably too overly done tbh), and big, deep reaching, and punchy bass. While...

    Tube rolling mishap with my Lampizator.

    @keithc i hope this gets sorted for you soon. None of this is ideal and puts you out of music listening for extended times.

    Ty for the clarification! We will all have to wait for an even numbered Atlantic then .

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    I know there was a lot of talk about the newer super high end rectifier tubes, but has anyone tried the tried and true standbys such as 50's Mullard GZ34?

    Not sure, they started them, then stopped. Started again, then stopped. A friend is getting his Pacific upgraded to the 11-P, and even getting it set up has taken a while.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Hi all, about a year ago I purchased a Golden Atlantic TRP to celebrate having an offer accepted on a house and finally being able to set up a 2-channel. Well, unfortunately the house fell through and with the market just being horrific for buyers the DAC. I do not really have space for it in...
