Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

[wisnon]

I hear you BUT rau is correct. You can’t unhear the sound of the Horizon

hahahaha

Yes, I think so, but the first couple weeks will be more as I think they have several partly built units waiting for final touches. The business environment is tougher these days given post-pandemic and geo-political implications everywhere. Add to that growing sophistication of the products themselves and the additional burden that places on suppliers, It has him and his team having to face and overcome mounting challenges They seem motivated and optimistic, so all is good.

I am translating this to mean: full steam ahead but don't yet go outside waiting for the delivery truck!

 

[wisnon]

Yep... an d to add to what Steve says, go snag your tubes NOW. Tubes are getting harder to come by for a variety of reasons...dont walk, run, if U want to be set and settled.

Not U of course Marty/David/etc, I know U guys are LONG ago set!! LOL

 

[microstrip]

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.

Ralph Karsten of Atmasphere was known for pulling some output tubes of his OTL amplfiers while they were playing in shows!

I am if DHL can find it in their warehouse... They've been sending phony tracking updates daily.

my experience is that DHL seems to deliver many days before they say they will. My Horizon arrived 5 days before DHL said it was to arrive.

Friend brought over some Bendix 6900 compared to CSF 5687 . The Bendix 6900 sounds broke not even close to the CSF 5687

They apparently were scheduled to deliver early, but didn't deliver. Then their system kept sending out bogus "expect delivery today" messages from the tracking link. When I called them about it, the DHL customer service people would keep parroting the misinformation. Finally I had to get testy after one DHL cs became rude when I told them their intel was no good. Subsequently, I found someone at DHL to investigate and they found it had been taken off the truck and they were going to try to find it.

I'm recounting this boring story in case any other Horizon buyers might run into a similar scenario.

Nashville. I’m sure they’ll eventually find it. It’s too big to lose!

 

[Gregadd]

You can arrange to pick it up yourself.

You all are probably already on top of this, and I am sure I missed this earlier in the thread thinking it was Ron's interview....
But just in case anyone in same boat and hasn't watched Fred's interview series with Lukasz yet. Really informative, a great resource and helps scratch the itch while waiting for arrivals. Just watched the first few and better appreciate some of the finer points now that are not in the manual, etc.

Anyways, hope it is ok to post again, but the videos can be found at the bottom of: https://www.lampizatorpoland.com/horizon

Great news!

My personal experience is DHL is not the best option for shipping. At least within the continental U S.

My DHL experiences have been great. I can’t say the same for FedEx and UPS.
