ordering lampizator GG

[Elberoth]

Thank you Norman. Yes, that was me. My Balanced Big 7 Lampizator is a game changer. I am done with dacs. It just sounds so natural and organic. It just takes away all the hash, leanness, any sibilants without sounding rolled off or colored.

I love my Lampi. I can not get over how great it sounds. Beautiful music fills my room and has really taken me to another level. Lukasz is a genius

I'm glad you like it.

I had usb upton regen with PS by Teddy Pardo on loan from Elberoth. Very often I agree with you wisnon, but not this time though. I sended it back without regret.
Of course the result will depend very much on specific setup esp the quality of transport .

I didn't like it either in my system. The sound became too thin for my taste, although the resolution undoubtly improved a bit.

It has to be noted though, that my server is far from beeing standard - I have everything on battery or linear PSUs, Jact USB card etc. Over $4000 in parts alone. Marslo on the other hand is using the $18k Aurender W-20.

It is perfectly possible the the net effect will be positive if you are using a less elaborate source, like a stadard Mac Mini or MacBook for example.

I absolutely love it. I knew you were right, I just wasn't ready at the time.

Sfox didn't like the uptone on his Lampi either

May be an Amanero USB board thing. I will try it with the Trinity DAC during weekend.

Marslo and Adam,

I missed this post.

Sorry to hear the Regen didnt pan out for you guys. I have the Green and the Corning cable, and perhaps why it worked so well for me. I will get the Amber upgrade soon and see how that fares with normal USB cables.

I orginally tried them with metal base Phillips GZ34 recti and vintage WE 101ds (ST shape) DHTs. Now I am running witth a GE JAN 5r4gy (1954) and new EML 45 mesh plates.

Just picked up my Amber Regen from post office. I will see how it pans out on the AA LaFontaine and then let Mark Coles (Sablon Audio) try it on the GG. I'll post my thoughts in a few days time and hopefully Mark will chime in too.
Apologies for veering a little off the GG track. BTW, I'm using Aries > Sablon Panatela > Amber Regen (with the little adaptor) > AA LaFontaine.

Thanks for that Blue58.

Some very interesting posts you made last week.

I dont know if you know fellow Londoner PhillipAC (audiocircle), but he moved from a Big 5 to a Big 7 and has recently commissioned a GG HEADDAC! Yes, the first one ever and he beat my NYC buddy ALRainbow to the punch. AL has the only B7 HeadDac made and will likely get a GG headDac too in the medium term.

GG Headdac. All I can say is WOW!

Phillip is another all classical guy

Will we all inevitably become GG owners in the long run?

I'm waiting for my Amber to arrive. It is supposed to work more like the combination of Regen Green with corning USB optical cable.

I bet this thing would give my Cavalli Liquid Gold a run for its money!!

The Liquid Gold - and Liquid Fire - are hybrid tube/solid state amps designed to provide enough power to drive any planar headphone.
The HeadDAC is more limited in the power department. Sound wise, I would bet on the HeadDAC vs. Cavelli.....

Hi Guy

someone mentioned about colour option?

Any knowledge there?

Also any consensus on SE versus Bal

And if you were to get a renderer aries, rendu etc....what would you get as extra input option xlr?

Thx

A

Black face or silver face…I prefer the black with GG and silver with B7.

Balanced for fully Bal system.
