    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    Thank you for your feedback. At the moment I have the following 45 pairs: EML 45 Globe Mesh Anniversary, two different RCA, RK and Sylvanias are on the way. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find reasonable CX345, UX245. Regarding Recti, a combination with 5Y3 is often recommended. I...

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I am currently interested in 45 tubes (45, ux245, cx345,…) Do you have any recommendations for specific types and/or recti combos?

    I have the efuse in use. The usual application is to use an external version of the efuse. This can be used for a single component or for several components by connecting the efuse in front of a power strip. For all components where the efuse is connected upstream, the fuse can be replaced with...

    The main purpose of the efuse is to replace the conventional fuses with solid copper bolts and to guarantee the fuse function electronically. This eliminates the eye of the needle of the thin fuse wire which significantly increases the sound quality. All other functions such as surge protection...

    I would like to share with you a complete new way of solving the fuse issue: look at: www.efuse.net I use it for all my components with fantastic improvement of sound

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I can only agree with what has been said. Although I have tried many driver tubes, including NOS ones, the new WE300b are my favourites. As for the rectifier tubes, I would like to share my personal ranking in combination with the WE300b: TOP: USAF 596 "The Accurate“ Tak 274 b "The Harmonic“...

    I would like to share an interesting experience with you. I have already tried several things to optimise my power supply. At the moment I have my own power line from the fuse box to my system. My own audio FI (Doepke), audio screw-in fuse. Then HMS Energica RC for surge protection, lightning...

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I've been testing a variety of tubes for some time now. To that end, based on the many positive reviews on this forum, I purchased a matched pair of KR242RK in February. In my constellation (B7 , 2position heater switch) these do not seem to be able to develop their full potential. For this...

    …and for AD1 (similar settings as PX4) the 45 settings. This would mean that current is more relevant than voltage. Would you endorse these conclusions?

    This would mean, that for AD1n (same values as PX25) the 300B settings should be used.

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I am a bit confused about my heater setting options at my B7 and went through this forum without finding a clarification. Maybe you can support me with your expertise. I have the old version with a switch and just 2 settings. One is 300b and one 101d/45. But 45 is 2.5V and 101d is 4,5V?! Does...

    Thanks a lot for your recommendation of the USAF 596 Recti! I bought one and it sounds really fantastic!

    Interesting! It seems that a new thread is needed: „Lampizator / HQPlayer-Settings Rolling“ ;)

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    As I wrote above, I always look at the sound of the DAC and tubes in conjunction with the HQPlayer settings. In general, I prefer DSD, as the sound is more natural and spatial for me. In my opinion, however, DSD is sometimes a bit too soft and somewhat muffled. PCM sounds clearer and more...

    I confirm, that it sounds a bit conceited. I did not mean that I have found the holy grail and it is clear to my that there are many old tubes that even sounds better ( and you own and I have not heard). My message was just to inform you about my personal impression of the new WE 300b.

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    After a few test runs, it is clear that I have found a new dream combination for myself. WE300b (new product) with Taka 274b delivers a sound I have never heard before from my Lampi. Tonality, spatiality, contours, sound flow, naturalness. Everything is there. What is new is the extreme...

    I must confess that contrary to the general opinion on this forum, I am not a fan of the KR 242 RK, but prefer 300b. My standard combination is ELROG 274b and KR 300b RK. For pleasurable listening I use the Taka 247b as recti.
