    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    Was wondering about the NOS classics. Now we need someone to try some of the other classics: el34 xf2, el34 Dutch metal collar, tnut sol 6550, tungsol 5881, genelex kt66, genelex kt78 and haha if someone hoarding the western electric 350 (which I hope would work).

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    Anyone know if the 6h30/6h30p tubes will work in Horizon? that 6H30P-DR is considered a "super" tube among some.

    Let's Get A Consensus Of The Best DAC's In The Market Today

    I find the Mola Mola interesting. DACs typically use some kind of "intermediate" format internally. Mola mola and PS Directstream are the only ones that I know of which use some form of Pulse-density modulation (PDM) as their intermediate format. Mola Mola use Pulse width modulation which is...

    Also I think linai elite 6sn7 worth looking at if people like the PSVANE versions of 6sn7.

    Is the money spent eliminating Wall Warts worth the cost in improved SQ?

    I would recommend getting a cheapo LPS on eBay that’s compatible and see how it does. Teradak is a brand that is on the cheaper side if a no name scares you. Should cost you under $200 If not around $100. If you find a significant improvement, you can always move to more expensive solution...

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    I would love to hear some superior combos using currently produced tubes. Starting to collect some NOS tubes for my incoming Horizon. Luckily, I have a decent collection of 6sn7, 6dj8, and EL34's. However, I think it would behoove us to have a couple of currently produced combos that anyone...

    101D Recommendations?

    I would try and bite the bullet and get some WE 101D or F (if they work with your amp). ST is most likely what you will find. Check some Japanese websites as they seem to have a lot there. I got mine from Japan at way lower prices than I found here or on ebay. A nice UV4 to UX4 converter...

    Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

    I personally prefer Teflon tube adapters if I can find them. For example: https://wooaudio.com/accessories/various-tube-adapters too bad they don’t have full selection of teflon adapters. love their socket savers though

    Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

    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...

    DAC decision: Lampizator Pacific vs TotalDac Balanced Output Options

    I think the problem was your original statement seemed highly misleading especially said in the definitive tone you used. It would have been more helpful and informative if you had added in qualifiers/details such as the tubes (EAT 300b) you heard it with and that other tubes might make it...

    Audeze CRBN!

    Really excited about trying this new electrostatic headphone. Been a while since I have been this excited by new headphone. Last was the RAAL’s but mainly because it was new tech. $4500 and built to order so I would love comments vs sr-009 and sr-007 if someone has heard it...
