My Lampizator 211's are here ....
Thank you to Lukasz, Lampizator, Fred and Rob. It will take until late this evening to get them into position and playing but I promise a photo or two before I pass out.

Awesome Joe, and you're quite welcome. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dying to hear your rig. You're 15mins away, we gotta hang sooner or later.
Enjoy

Congrats Joe! I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to hear your initial impressions. You'll be the first one around here to hook up the balanced Big 7 to the balanced 211's. Almost like the first moon walk!

re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
It's pretty amazing how tube amps can better solid state amps, but these 211's, like my 845 Line Magnetic amp are stunning. Tremendous 3D, prodigious bass and so musical. Lampizator 211's are powerful with 85wpc. They run pretty warm, like other great amps.

It's not often you buy something & straight out of the box you fall for it with your experience Joe. I'm in the same place for now & the future is upgrade some cables & maybe the stand-mounts. Congrats Joe, nice to see the Lampi gear living up to the hype. Originally Posted by joeinid

Thank you Nick. I agree, they sound great. Heat is pretty high. They more I run them, I think they are a little hotter than the LM219. Sound quality is awesome. Originally Posted by veindoc

How is noise level Joe, would these be quiet enough for something like my Westminster's?

Re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
Wow!
It is what I heard Lukasz promising, but I needed to hear it from someone outside the Lampi company. Seems like he outdid himself.
Also, with the Bal config the differntial summator will cancel out all digital noise as well. So unless the tubes themselves are noisy, the chain should be dead quiet.
Mike, is a Bal GG with 211 amps and Taka/Elrog/WE 300b tubes on the horizon?NORMAN

Re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
Seems very quiet. I need to listen again tonight with my ear closer to the tweeters, but if there was too much noise, I think I would have noticed by now. I do get a little pop through the speakers when I toggle the bias switch for each 211 tube. Originally Posted by arthurs

Re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
how is the house Lampi 211 sound vs the LM you used to own? more vintage, more modern, etc.
I assume the additional p/p power is beneficial on the Strads...Brinkmann Bardo w/ EMT HSD-006 cart, MSB Reference DAC --> Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL --> Ampzilla 2000, 2nd Edition --> Fyne Audio F1-12

Keith,
I'd say a touch more "modern" but better in EVERY way. And YES, the additional power is very welcome.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
I think the fact that the amps were designed around the Balanced Dac makes it a match made in heaven. Diff summator and no phase splitting may be the key...

Whatever Lukasz is doing with the amps, he is definitely on to something. The amps work beautifully. I need to get some sleep because the music keeps me up listening. It's a wonderful thing, 211's rock!

Re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
You can definitely get by with less (one setup I run with them is 2A3) but they really come alive with some power (I also run Dartzeel CTH-8550 and Shindo CC80) so noise level is first hurdle for me... Originally Posted by bonzo

Re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
The amps are quiet. Plus since there are volume controls on the amps, you can dial back the volume a little when you run your preamp or source into them. No issues whatsoever. Originally Posted by arthurs

Thank you Steve. You should consider a balanced Golden Gate. After a long break in, it will be off the hook amazing. Originally Posted by Steve

Re: My Lampizator 211's are here ....
Differential summator circuit in balanced DAC config eliminates the digital noise, so its left to tube microphonics as the only possible source. As Joe runs both Dac and amps, he wont have any issues….unless he has iffy tubes. Originally Posted by arthurs

Joe,
I cannot let you suffer alone. I have just ordered the Golden Gate DAC. After I receive it, I may go for the amps as well. If they drive the Strads, they should have no problems with Magicos.Adam

But I think you are probably experiencing the best Lampi synergy of anyone right now with your balanced B7 running straight to the balanced 211's. Looking forward to hearing more about the sound as they continue to break in. Again, huge congrats on something very special!
