    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    I can chime in and say that I was one of the original guinea pigs for the Poseidon tube rolling experiment. Laszlo was goodly enough to set me up with a set up TP adapters for both ECC40 tubes and a set of 4654 tubes and I can report both as being a very nice step forward. When I directly...

    Ron Reporting from Southwest Audio Fest 2024

    Thanks for the coverage, Ron. I believe that is actually the LampizatOr Poseidon playing in this video, rather than the turntable.

    Lampizator Baltic 4

    I believe there was a transcription error on that graph as there is no existing Atlantic 4 at this time.

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Unfortunately this is probably not the correct venue for shootouts, but I'm sure there will be plenty of feedback on the Poseidon as a preamp in the weeks to come, now that they've begun shipping.

    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    Unfortunately not, but we are hoping to demonstrate an Olympus XDMI at AXPONA paired natively with either a Poseidon or Horizon DAC.

    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    This is outstanding. In a similar time frame in Chicago, I am hoping to make AXPONA 2024 the debut of the Olympus XDMI server natively connected to the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC. Our system will be in Suite #1621 which will feature a high end system comprised of Von Schweikert Audio and...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    I should also share that the tube rolling experimentation has commenced! In the parlor now is a Poseidon DAC with TP adapters sporting Tungsram a pv4200 rectifier, ECC40s and 4654 tubes.

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    And we have liftoff on the first Taiko Olympus XDMI interfacing with the Poseidon DAC... Things are getting interesting, indeed!

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    I got a heads up on this post and wanted to address it. I'm not directly familiar with the matter, but sorry for any delay troubleshooting. Between the time zone differences and a never ending stream of emails it can take an extra day or so for the factory to respond. A while back we...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    We are indeed planning to have our Horizon DAC in the Great Room at Florida Audio Expo alongside a statement system fronted by Acora Acoustics.

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    As the first Poesidon DACs begin to roll out, we wish to make the very exciting announcement that our Poseidon will be 100% compatible with the new Taiko Audio XDMI protocol. We will support, without compromise, the full format and all sample rates. Details will be announced soon, but we are...

    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    We are investigating the possibility of bringing it to the Pacific as well and preliminarily it seems feasible. While we can't promise it, it is promising. ;) Edit: I see Emile already responded here.

    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    Rest assured, guys. LampizatOr is on the case and presently working on being able to fully leverage XDMI in order that the best DAC on the planet can leverage the capabilities of the best Taiko server. Stay tuned all, we'll have an announcement in the New Year! Best, Fred A.

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    In my experience, I tried mixing 2 RS1003s with 2 KT170s in hopes of being able to share 2 of a matched quad with a friend, also running balanced with his Horizon. I was hopeful after reading of others mixing in balanced that the difference would be negligible, but the sound I got was pretty...

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    Adam, We demonstrate them in our two long island parlors with 99db efficency horns byTobian Sound Systems to tremendous effect. We've also showed them domestically with 92db GT Audio Works Reference 3 speakers and it was a wonderful pairing. All of their merits are on full display with high...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Some fantastic feedback on the LampizatOr Poseidon from the Warsaw Show. "LampizatOr / Sveda Audio / J.Sikora / KBL Sound. Finally, we crossed paths with the one and only Lukasz Fikus from LampizatOr, and boy, did we have a tapestry of tales to swap about the analog and digital realms, vacuum...

    LampizatOr Baltic 3

    Good eye! The rest is a Siemens c3g in a TP adapter and I've got some Tungsram 12bh7s hiding in the back which I've preferred to most of what I've tried to replace them with.

    LampizatOr Baltic 3

    In much the same manner as people are only just discovering how far the Horizon can be taken, I thought it was worthy of mention that my eyes have been opened on the Baltic 4. At the urging of a friend, I gave this combo a go and I've gotta say... wow!

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    I hope this message finds you well and immersed in great music. I wanted to take a moment to provide a brief update regarding the availability and delivery of our Poseidon DACs, as there have been a number of inquiries on this topic recently. We are pleased to share that the production process...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Hello, The trade in program has been formally discontinued for about a year now, however, you may feel free to reach out to me directly to see if we are able to structure something for you. Best, Fred A.

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    While the comment might've been made in jest, it causes me to reflect on my time working with Lukasz Fikus over the past decade. His philosophies truly stand out. What captivated me about Lukasz's work years ago was his clear vision and unwavering dedication to the audio world. I probably won't...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Steve, There is a Poseidon DAC which comes with the active linestage. There is also a linestage only version which was reviewed here on WBF. Finally there is a full fledged Poseidon preamplifier which has the linestage plus our overachieving phono module (no DAC). While it is an...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    It should indeed be considered for preamplifier duties and in those instances where someone already has a Horizon, I might guide them towards a Poseidon with phono to complete their front end needs.

    LampizatOr North America / DSG Invites you!

    There were a few and I've asked a couple to comment, but it was not a WBF exclusive event. It was a large pool of audiophiles from local clubs in NY, NJ, CT and a couple of other smaller forums. That said, hopefully we'll get a few more to chime in as there was certainly some great sound at...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    I think this one will be disruptive to the industry, Steve. The demo unit Robert and I have been experimenting with, which we also debuted at the soft launch in Princeton, NJ has been an absolute stunner and that is running stock tubes with just an upgraded rectifier. We are looking forward...
