    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    I’m also surprised. I’ve been thrilled with it. Ordered some adapters to run 300B tubes in it, will be interesting to compare to the jumbo tubes. Depending on the model and options $784 to $1,744+ USD.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    I read this entire thread before I received my new GA TRP. I’ve also skimmed and searched more than I care to admit. I took a different direction for rectifiers. I email Lukasz asking if it was okay to use a very unconventional rectifier device. He said yes, so I placed an order for a...

    Holo May vs Lampizator

    I was really happy with the MAY DAC. I still will suggest it to someone looking in that price range for sure. Adding the STR-1002 was a larger jump than going from the MAY to the TRP. As I said before rolling tubes can radically change the sound of the TRP so going in the direction I want...

    Holo May vs Lampizator

    I had a Holo MAY KTE for ~3 years. I really enjoyed it. End of last year I placed an order for a GA TRP so it has engine 11. I prefer the TRP in every aspect except, I don't feel comfortable leaving it on 24/7 which is a very minor issue. The MAY did take a long time with signal going through...

    'BEST' Garden hose

    I usually check Project Farm for that type of stuff.

    Aliexpress Isn't Messing Around.

    This sold me: "The weight of up to 130 catties, plus the volume of 270mm wide, 600 ㎜ height and 500mm deep, making it look full of momentum." I then saw they wanted almost $2,000 USD for shipping so I'm going to pass.

    Pure Audio Project upgrades and tweaks

    Using Isodamp on the entire surface area where the baffle meets the frame adding washers so the bolts don't sink into the baffle is a big step up. Brought everything into focus tightened up the sound offering more detail from top to bottom. It was also the first and cheapest upgrade. Large...

    USB cable recommended?

    I received the Ediscreation Reference Silver USB Cable yesterday @Golum did a great and accurate run down of the cable, thank you! The first song was impressive. I was expecting to play a few songs then transfer the cable to the living room system to burnin for a week or two then bring it back...

    Pure Audio Project upgrades and tweaks

    I have not heard or seen in person the PAP upgraded cables. I went with the Snake River Audio Signature Series which is a combination of copper silver and gold.

    Pure Audio Project upgrades and tweaks

    The NoRez is easy to remove once applied. Save the waxed paper to put back on the sticky side. It's also easy to tune by adding and removing pieces. The big difference from the first time I completely lined the inside of the frames and the second time was the room and amount of room treatment...

    Pure Audio Project upgrades and tweaks

    Is this for the woofers? 1.4mm seems really thin for woofers. I guess if the DCR is close on both worth a shot.

    Pure Audio Project upgrades and tweaks

    @Kingrex I emailed Dan directly and he added it to my order. I bought a few brass weights and footers from him. I could peel the Isodamp off if I wanted too no problem. Using the NoRez I had the following experience. I covered the inside if the frames from top to bottom on the inside. I wasn't...

    Pure Audio Project upgrades and tweaks

    @Kingrex Sorry I missed this. I got a 12x24" sheet with adhesive from Eden Sound. When I first got the speakers Ze'ev did send me a horn1 to demo. I put a lot of time and effort to get it to sound as good as I could. Ultimately I ended sending it back. Everything sounded more cohesive with the...

    Oh, Boy, does Roon suck big time! The high-end audio world needs a better solution!

    I'm a lifetime subscriber, 3ish years so I became frustrated with Roon. Seemed every new release was a decrease in fidelity. I was also having connection issues where some days it wouldn't connect to the Rendu. I went with the Innuos ZENith MK3 and have been very happy.
