That would be mine. Can't wait for the fun to begin. I should have it next week...fingers crossed. It will have a real copper top plate, exactly the same as my Pacific

Is it a powder-coated clearcoat or wetcoat?
According to the photos, there seems to be both pores and orange peel finish on the surface?
Why not offer anodizing? In most people's eyes, a better and nicer surface treatment of aluminum.

+1 for anodized (or "brushed")

Meltz nicely singing seems to me

I am pretty sure Lukasz has a reason on how the tube layout is (most likely trying to keep the signal on the shorts path) setup but I kind of prefer the rectifier to be in the back

Um, those are damn gorgeous imho. Beautifully done! Superb. And I can only imagine the sound. Pictures sure help tide us over. For the one that looks black and white, there is a colored version of the all black up on the Lampizator website.

I am curious about the top plate. I use two heavy HRS damping plates on the top of the Pacific to positive effect. While the Horizon will have the CNC milled chassis, any potential resonance/vibration sensitivity with the top plate (the damping plates will no longer fit due to the recessed design)? Or perhaps the top plate is also CNC milled?...

@MJG That one would probably match wonderfully with Aries Cerat Amps

Is real copper standard, or an option?

Any images from front panel? Still have the Nixie eyes?

The Nixie's are awesome. Would like to see a front picture also.

So @Steve Williams I guess you're already tracking the parcel and I'm eagerly looking FW for your first impressions!

Hint, hint to any other manufacturers reading this thread. Use a flight case! Cardboard boxes are not good enough!
