A CLX owner, who has a Logan MCH in a huge room like Gary's is exclusively classical and has conducted as well, is planning on getting the Lampi dac with the Lampi amps http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?17827-ordering-lampizator-GG

And then one, of course, from Audioshark - where BADA was the popular dac, but they have been shifting to Lampi. Started with the site owner Mike extremely negative on Lampi. So he was then sent a demo model to listen to. Since then, the forum has erupted in Lampi fever. He now has built up the...

Here is a different post: "Lampi GG is excellent. This is the best DAC I have ever had in my system. It is so musical. My music collection is 99% 16/44.1 as I have a large classical music collection. This DAC gives me great pleasure on PCM. Tube rollings will give different sound but basic...

Here is one more comparison to the $100k MSB Diamond with the femto clock http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?17630-Best-PCM-DACs&p=318303&viewfull=1#post318303 "The Lampi Big 7 is much better than the The MSB Diamond DAC IV (even the plus version, with Galaxy Femto Clock option). I...

Yeah this is a hi-fi, not adequate-fi, forum

Did I tell you ever tell you about the Lampi

Jon, before I started this thread I had posted this conclusion on the WBF thread, exactly what you are saying: "Btw, in defence of what Amir was saying, I have been to the places of those who have set up MCH systems with Datasat dirac auro 3d. They never said a word about music, just about...

If the vinyl is good and the TT is good, the depth of the brass, the tonality of the violins, and the thickness and texture is to die for. I don't own a TT but this was evident in most rooms at Munich (with very high end TTs), and on my demo of Kronos' top of the line. However, I didn't see much...

Watching him conduct Mahler 1 this Sunday and then B's 9th the following Sunday. Trying to get Sibelius Violin Concerto tickets the Sunday after that, but sold out. La Traviata at Royal Opera House this Thursday. Follows Rachmaninov Symphonic dances last Sunday and Stravinsky's Firebird Suite...

Your opinion about people romanticizing WE technology, and thinking new thing is progress, is such a strawman argument that has been done to death before, so I will leave it to you go to the diyaudio link I provided, or at Lenco Heaven, and read replies to you to prove you wrong. I can't even be...

Here are a few things Joe Roberts commented on Lenco Heaven "I never heard Line Magnetic but I heard GIP Vintage series (mesh 555 and 597A) sounding BETTER than the originals. The GIP "Field HiFi Series" 18" is one of the greatest cone speakers I ever heard. I think WE design principles may...

Maybe that was meant to be sarcastic, but regarding WE, this is a well known truth. The drivers came from bell labs who put tons and tons of money and science behind it that today's hifi companies can only dream of.

^^ The last pic shows the guy next to me dozing at Rachamaninov's dances. Seriously. Slept throughout and woke up at the applause. Must have been an objectivist.

Well Saturday morning started with me comparing the Lampi to a guy's Kuzma TT just outside London (he is floored), then me flying to Leipzig, Germany (birthplace of Mahler, I think, and where Bach played in a church), stayed overnight, today morning heard the Western Electric speaker, and flew...

Given that thread is already on it's 60th page, two funny comments were "This thread has done more wandering than Moses' 40 year jaunt in the desert" and "if this now turns into another objectivist vs subjectivist thread, we need to shut it down"

Jon, you are referring to setting up your own system. For that I agree. I am talking about judging a system. The background of this thread was, who is better suited to judge if say, your full range monolith can reproduce a piano better than a Logan hybrid or a Wilson? The Harman test taker or...

It's a test to see if you can identify the difference in the EQ. It has levels. Most of us will be at 2 to 3. The listening is supposed to build you up to 6 to 12. My point is does that increased level help in.judging hifi as compared to attending live shows

On wbf, there was a discussion on where one guy was saying the Harman listening test (Google it) helps increase our ability to identify the differences between audio components, and is essential to develop your expertise in auditioning. My contention was that a better way is to go to live...
