LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

@highstream what Supratek preamp are you using with the TRP ? I am eager to order the Cabaret dual from Mick but there is some pretty long wait time at the moment.
On a different note, does the 5R4GY recti work on all Lampi DAC ? I recently got a Baltic3 and wondering if it would work ? Anybody compare with the EML 5U4G ?
Yes
Will work - no issue.
I have EML 5u4g and in Lampi it just somehow (for me) doesn't work nice - whilst in my preamp it works beautifully.
How is B3 btw?
Ok, cool. Any particular 5R4GY recommendation ?
B3 sounds very nice. I actually upgraded from Amber3 which I consider a bargain at its price point. The B3 takes the A3 to the next higher level - everything is just more. I am still playing around with some NOS stash, especially with the Sylvania 6SN7s and the Mullard/Valvo 5AR4s I have and trying to figure out.
I am now wondering how much of a difference sound-wise the B3 has over the TRP ? Lampi puts the B3 between A3 and GG2 but didn't mention anything on the TRP. Does the TRP sounds very different from the GG2 ?
Huh - so many of them - for me Brimar double mica (I have it); Marconi or Fivre - depends on the funds you're willing to spend. There is a one with hanging filaments and those are quite/very pricey.
Super - glad to hear it performs nicely. From few sides i heard the same story and as you said A3 was not a joke either
I still very much believe TRP should be above B3 - in which sense not sure as I don't know anybody comparing those two side by side.
TRP vs GG2 - yes its a different type of presentation I would say due to DHTs used in GG2 plus some other things, so to me it has more bloom, sounds warmer (not overly at all) and to me it sounds bigger and bolder overall...but I LOVE both (TRP & GG2)
Thank you very much

Any thoughts on the Siemens (EI) EL34? I realized they need an extreme amount of hours to open up
And what is your verdict on the RFT made RFT EL34? Those are my favorite EL34 by quite a big margin
I consider every Lampi DAC a bargain at it's pricepoint
After I already have a TRP (EL34 type pentodes) and a Pacific (DHTs) I would be REALLY reluctant to add another (2 or 3 in case of the B3?) tube type family to the mix
No way I'm going down another tube type family rabbit hole this time
At least the rectifiers can be used in all Lampi DACs
I wonder that myself
I'm quite confident the B3 is an absolute killer soundwise
Exactly that - but in Tobian preamp it's fantastic (which is actually super cool) as I can finally use itSame here.
Just tizzy

Hi Guys, hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Has anyone tried the PSVane KT88 black tubes on the GA TRP?
I listened to the GEC KT66 (Black) for 3 days straight and then switched to Tesla EL51s and the difference I noticed immediately was a more pronounced bass. However for the sweetness of the midrange, nothing could beat the GEC KT66 imho. I will be sending back the KT66s to @shadowlight this week. Bought a pair of NOS GEC KT66 (clear tubes) on eBay and they should be arriving tomorrow or Wednesday (hopefully before new year)
hello happy holidays and best of health to all there , yes me too the el51 is a bigger bottom and i dont need that . the ps vane has soo much air and details i love itHi Al
Do you mean the Psvane 6Ca7 TII ?
My favorite tube in the TRP
I ordered the Cortese LCR from Mick this year and like it a lot. What's the wait list at the moment?

No idea on the EI I'm afraid. I like the earlier RFT tubes a lot, and often run the RFT EL11 in the TRP. I think I have some RFT EL34 as well. Will have to dig them out...Thank you very much
