Txs for a tip Stephan. As I said I haven't heard them in the DAC yet, so don't have my own view on that. But I heard them in the Klangfilm amps which my friend John restored for somebody and those amps were just brilliant. Sadly he didn't want to sell them to me ;( Also I liked the way their chassis were made, boxes to hung on the wall, behind the speakers for super short connection and almost invisible "being in the system". I fully agree with you on the sonic quality in the amps. Unforgettable experience
At Silvercore on his 833c amps we had compared expensive Telefunken dual gettr EL34 to cheap Chinese ones that he had voiced the amp with. The Telefunken were much more clear and transparent, but on his system, the way he had voiced it, they lacked meat, and both due to the midbass and musicality the Chinese ones were preferred.
because this tube is rare and belongs in the best amps and not in a output stage of a Dac. if an EL 34 is to be replaced you could use 5881 tube. Pay attention to the anode voltage do not exceed maximum values. it sounds finer makes more bass.
P. S
A F2a11 is twice as steep as an EL 34, the internal resistance is 15 times smaller. not a good replacement
Hi Fred , yes. Just typo. I use either names of TRP or Atlantic 2. Nothing newer there and no reason for if anyone asks me. Probably best to stick to the full Atlantic2 TRP name for the future. Sorry if anyone got confused. It wasn't intended.
Speaking of clocks, I would be very interested to hear from Lampi information about the internal clock used in the Horizon. Given how far clock tech and the understanding of what specs are important in audio applications has come since the design of the Pacific, one assumes that it would be a significant area of opportunity for improvement vs the Pacific. Also, was any consideration given to allowing for use of an external master clock?
i understand the desire to stay on topic- yet there are dozens if not 100s of threads that veer off topic without threat of moderator deletion. Interesting....
I think it reasinable to stay on topic. This is a new piece of equipment that we want to discuss. Perhaps starting a new thread on ancillary topics would be best.
Thanks for the picture! So, there are two I2S inputs. What is the difference between these 2 inputs? What are the examples of the music servers, that can be used with the I2S inputs?
I did not say the topic wasn't important or interesting. I just don't feel a deep dive belongs in the thread about the new Horizon. I suggest you start a new thread to discuss it.
