    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    Thanks again everyone for this discussion. It's great to have others decribe what I heard but did not understand! I heard the improvment from 6X to 63. I knew it was a pass through threshold, but I thought something might be wrong with my H. I also have a volume control in ROON, my Grimm MU1...

    Antileon Evo paired with Tube linestage ?

    Up to the Horizon I had the exact same experience. I menatlly justified buying the Vivaldi Stack as I could sell my ARC REF 10 LS preamp as the pundits were saying that the Vivaldi DAC was finally "there" for the direct approach. Well I sold the ARC 10, but I could not live with the direct...

    Antileon Evo paired with Tube linestage ?

    I pair my Antileon EVO directly to my Lampizator Horizon. It is a wonderful pairing.

    Swiss Digital Fuse Box Anyone?

    I spoke with Mark about the best place to start with Swiss Digital fuses. I ordered two, each set for Slow Blow 10Amp. for the two sides of my Gryphon EVO amp. I will admit I had high hopes as the Sluggos safely replacing two tiny wires as my full source of power for a 200 pound amp makes sense...

    Anyone have impressions of Lampizator Horizon vs. Pacific ?

    My recent DAC journey took me from a Vivaldi stack to a Pacific. Replacing the Vivaldi (non-APEX) with a Pacific gave me the less anylitical sound I was craving. Learning the Horizon had a real contender of a preamp pushed me to upgrade to the Horizon. I agree with others here that the Horizon...

    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    Yes, I think you are correct. Have you thought of using Stillpoints Ultra 7s? I think they would be around 10K for my Cygnus. That's a big expense relative to other approaches. I am not planning any speaker swaps so maximizing the Cygnus makes sense to me. Any experience with them? They have...

    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    Me too. I don't know if John H. is still with them, but I asked him too.

    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    I don't have either model right now, but the ISO As are just a bolt so they are easy to rake if you want. The Townshends as I recall have a black knob on top of the springs which are used to level the Platform. These could be turned up or down for raking, but I don't think you have as much range...

    Power Cords for ARC REF 160Ms

    I recently replaced my JC1+ amps with ARC 160Ms and am delighted with them. I was using a pair of Shunyata Sigma V2 power cords with great results, but of course I need 20 amp plugs instead of the 15 amp I have. I could try the Shunyata C15 to C19 adapters for a few hundred dollar investment to...

    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    I have had both the Gaias and the Podiums under my Sasha 2s. My floor is cement with stone on top. The Gaias were very good and the Podiums were better yet. Both, but especially the Townshend's go agaist everything I thought I knew about vibration control!

    IsoAcoustics Gaia with W/P?

    I tried the Gaias on my Sasha 2s and liked them. I felt they were a worthwhile improvement. I then learned about the Townshend Podiums. As they offer a satisfaction guarantee I ordered them. In my room which is stone on cement the Podiums were a significant upgrade over the Gaias. I have never...

    From ARC ref 10, what’s next. I need recommendations

    Sorry, cropped the horns out of the picture. Its a Cape Buffalo that lived along the banks of the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe until we met. Now he hangs out in Kansas City.
