Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

Sorry guys can we pls steer the topic back to Poseidon and relevant tubes for this DAC. There is plethora of threads releted to Pac, H, TRP etc.
I see a few posts in the thread, where people want to know how Poseidon compares to other Lampi models. I know most on this thread are familiar with this chart, but in case it is helpful to those that haven't seen it, here is a pixelated iphone pic of the comparo chart from Lampi:
OK, getting a demo of the Poseiden sometime by the end of this month!
I'm extremely curious how the Poseidon compares to your Pac2
Please let us know your findings.
Are you really sure you want to know?!I'm extremely curious how the Poseidon compares to your Pac2

LOL for this hobby I think you have to be a little!Sure I do
Are you?
Please enjoy this interview with Lukasz discussing Poseidon versus Horizon, among other topics:
Here is a full set up for the Posseidon.

can you share more details on what I'm seeing? I'm new to lampi tube rolling so can't recognize anything here. How does it improve the sound in your experience? thanks!
Tungsram PV4200 rectifier, Tungsram El6 and double subminiature tubes instead of the 6N1P. All with our TP adapters. It will improve the sound in every possible way
The impact is huge! Almost a component upgrade.
Which subminiature tubes are you using?Tungsram PV4200 rectifier, Tungsram El6 and double subminiature tubes instead of the 6N1P. All with our TP adapters. It will improve the sound in every possible way

I can chime in and say that I was one of the original guinea pigs for the Poseidon tube rolling experiment. Laszlo was goodly enough to set me up with a set up TP adapters for both ECC40 tubes and a set of 4654 tubes and I can report both as being a very nice step forward.
When I directly compared the ECC40 tubes with the Soviet-made Reflektor tubes, which my partner uses in his Poseidon, the differences were subtle. Initially, I was inclined to prefer the more expensive Reflektors, but after level matching the volume, the distinction became less pronounced. The ECC40s, using TP adapters, delivered better bass and overall solidity, while the Reflektors had slightly more top-end sparkle and air. Given that the Reflektors cost over $1,200, the TP adapters with ECC40 tubes offer exceptional value.
Regarding the 4654 tubes, my comparison was limited to the stock Chinese tubes that came with the system. While these stock tubes are quite competent, the 4654 tubes enhanced the music with greater density, heft, and dynamics while presenting more apparent detail. The TP-adapted 4654 tubes particularly complemented my system, making the music bolder and more dynamic.
