Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

[rau]

Correct but I’m not if you’re single ended
but then the audio madness sets in we must have them there too

The negative in single ended goes to ground. So no tube on right would work , Steve's posting is correct

 

[rau]

These 6BG6G tubes are for the 4X power slots?

Yes

 

[dminches]

I just got definitive word from @Lukasz "Lampizator" Fikus via Fred @LampiNA that it is ok to leave the right 2 rear tube sockets empty when using the DAC in single-ended mode.

I knew I wasnt imagining what I heard Lukasz say

What about the middle tubes "L Neg And Pos" and "R Neg and Pos"?
Are both needed also in SE mode?
Or can one also be left out in SE mode?

They are both needed.

 

[christoph]

They are both needed.

So really only the right two pentodes can be left out in SE mode?
Pity but thanks for your clarificarion.

I wish I could get over my OCD disease because if I could I would take out the right pair of TS KT170 and leave the slots empty but I need to have balance in my life and if I looked at 2 empty slots or two slots on the right filled with different tubes than the slots on the left I would probably have a nervous breakdown trying to resist my temptation to make the right side the same

You saved me some time for typing - thanks

 

[dminches]

Have someone make up a set of 4 EL34 socket savers and tell them not to wire 2 of them. Use the good ones on the left and the fake ones on the right.

 

[Steve Williams]

Between you

Between you and dminches making recommendations, you have made me fall victim to collecting backup sets so that I can watch those 2 tubes on the right look just as pretty as the ones on the left
Curse the two of you because I also remember Lukasz saying that even though those two right tubes are not necessary for SE, they burn out at the same rate as those on the left It's like watching money evaporate into electrons

While on that I think You should get a quad of EL51s and EL156s for the starter

 

[John T]

Rest assured Steve, you have passed the collecting of backups down the food Chain!

I'm listening to my TRP and love it but I'm sure missing my Horizon can't wait to get home . Side note the Lampi GM70 is sure a pleasure to listen to . This is my cottage system

 

[rau]

Excellent

 

[godofwealth]

Given that Horizon is limited to 400 units, what happens when they’re all sold out?

Then there all sold out

It will take another 2 years so let's not worry. There will be something - but probably not better just almost as good. We bought the last remaining processors on Earth.

I just spent half day drooling over the new tube set - the power pentodes called Ei-KT90. They were made in Serbia and sold under Telefunken name. The local brand name was Ei. They are phenomenal. In my Horizon test they beat the GEC Marconi KT66's and match equal the Tung-Sol KT170 (which is blood stained Russian item). If only they werent so expensive. I tried them with VT-99 inputs, French 5687's, and Blue Balls. All were equally good.

Best of the best - made in Serbia
Crap - price skyrocketed after this post....lemme trigger my local connections in Nis (city in Serbia where the factory WAS)

@Lukasz "Lampizator" Fikus - while on those can they be used in TRP?
