Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

[howiebrou]

Is this fix available for all Pacifics? Can it be done by an end-user?

Would this fix mean my Pac will handshake with my Extreme when I turn it on and off at night. Having to reboot my Extreme every time i turn my Pac off to save the tubes is a bit of a PITA...

I never had a problem with my Pacific but FWIW, a quick fix for your Pacific is called the Horizon.

Very likely it would.

QUESTION:
Do we know if the 7119/E182CC tube is compatible with Horizon? It is a Noval with, I think, same pin layout as 5687 (can anyone confirm?). So I assume a 5687 tube adapter works. It's not listed under compatible tube types on Horizon but its a drop in replacement for a 5687 on a lot of amps that use 5687

There are a lot of "reasonably" priced NOS tubes of this type to check assuming it works.

It is listed!
And it is a great tube.

Maybe there exists 5687 to 6sn7 adapter, but I use 5687 to 12au7 and 12au7 to 6sn7. Two adapters.

Lukasz, are you still shipping 3 Horizons per week?

 

[rau]

 

[Steve williams]

Make sure those tubes are room temperature before you power them on

 

[Steve williams]

Lukasz, are you still shipping 3 Horizons per week?

I thought he said 2 per week for 4 years

 

[dminches]

I thought he said 2 per week for 4 years

He said one every other day.

"The first commercial Horizon shipped yesterday morning. Second - thursday. And then one every other day untill the order pipeline is done. By end of March we will have 25 horizons in the "field" . By end of April 40. By end of May: 55 to 70, after we open the second factory building. There will be something to talk about. I am sure.
We will show them in Munich just got my space confirmed."

[rau]

Do you know what number you were in the queue?

Yes right after Steve

 

[Stbo]

Yes right after Steve

Thanks for your reply! Okay, then I'll have to wait a couple more weeks.

 

[astrotoy]

I'm in the queue in the first 30, but not the first 15. So toward the end of the month (now that it is March!). Larry
