Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

[wil]

no its the inrush of heater element on any tube turn on . a swap does not eliminate this , but if the tube is still hot when put back this helps . the filimnet increses in resistence as it gets hot so its self leveling in some ways like a tungston light bulb . i think we are putting too much into this over all . just know if on standby recti is off it does matter . i dont know what the new H dac does or has on a standby switch , all i do know if im using a 1k recti im not leaving it on lol . one more point never shake tubes especially if hot its just a bad idea period .

Is that what LF is recommending? Put Horizon on standby?

I leave mine muted (volume 00) but on

 

[christoph]

I never had a recti burnout.
So far...

same here

 

[christoph]

So, is the question which burns the Recti out faster: leaving on 24/7 or switching out every day with a cheap Recti?

You can safely hot swap the rectifier in Lampi DACs.
Just don't take too long

 

[dminches]

@Lukasz "Lampizator" Fikus did you get the boards you needed to continue production?

 

[christoph]

As for swapping tubes I watched Lukasz and Fred swap out the triode set with the DAC muted but on as well as the amps. When he changed the triodes my amps and DAC. were off.

I’ve never burned out a rectifier either
IIRC rectifiers were swapped with DAC and amp in but DAC muted

You don't even have to mute anything when hot swapping the rectifier in a Lampi DAC.

 

[christoph]

I always bought two pairs of tubes I like . Burned both sets in , but do swap after a while to hear where they are .

That is an excellent idea to counter check the aging pair with a fresh pair

So @ ctydwn, once again no offense meant. This DAC has absolutely remarkable sound. As well Golum has started a Horizon tube rollers thread and I hope I’ve convinced everyone that the wait is worth it BUT the time to do due diligence is now

No worries at all and thank you for the helpful reply. I will continue to do my tube homework and try to secure a few ahead of Horizon arrival. Just sold one of my two KR RK 242 quads as I move toward packing up the Pacific.

In fact the first time that is what they did and I almost passed out thinking something was going to blow

 

[Gregadd]

Yeah I saw that too. Did not even need a glove.
