wisnon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 FYI: I bought the Brimar 5Z4GY on Ebay from: 5Z4GY CV1863 KB FE STC BRIMAR Boxed | eBay For $38.41, I essentially considered it a risk free option.... I got mine in Feb for $20 and am ashamed to say I have not tried it yet. Neither the double Mica haltron 5r4gy! Link to comment

wisnon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Is it possible to get the GG as a DSD only DAC without PCM? Matt Certainly, and it costs a bit less. i would get the PCM though, as its extremely good and is slated to get better as Lukasz tinkers, plus its better for resale value, for those who like to trade up. However, if you are an ultimate purist, then I can see you going for DSD only like Elberoth. Link to comment

Foggie Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 One thing to note about the L7, it is a beast size wise in both length and in height (due to tubes). Not a bad thing mind you, just something to consider in your rack/space. I was prepared prior to receiving mine, but it's still a bit of a "shocker". I have maybe 70hrs~ into mine, mainly on PCM and have now switched over to the DSD circuit and am just in awe (both circuits). Sat down on Saturday and 7hrs gone in an instant. Geeez. Seriously, I'm actually a bit peeved as I am not getting anything else done! Lukasz certainly has something special going on in his product lineup. My rig Link to comment

sligolad Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thank you Roch! Did you try the 5Z4GY(CV1863) Brimar's in the earlier link LMC? I bought a pair but they do not light up in my Big7, seems like I am missing a pin on these tubes!!! Went ahead and ordered a set of the Mullard's recommended by elcorso so hopefully better luck. EDIT: Just had a little recollection that maybe my Big7 was not built for these rectifiers, looks like you guys are discussing the later Big7....hard to keep up with all these changes. Looks like I will have to consider an upgrade at some point in the future to "Big7a" but still sounds good today as it is.

wisnon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 No Pearse, There has been no change to the basic circuit of the (single)rectifier. Every 5v recti, both DH and IH should work. The pinout is the centre suppoort with 5 pins. Perhaps the tubes you have are dead or is it that you have the double rectifier 6x5 type (2x2.5v). If so, ONLY 6x5gts will work and you do have to send back for this to be changed. Having the single recti means more rolling ability, not just brands but TYPES of 5v rectis with different voltage drops specs, etc. Link to comment
sligolad Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks Norman, that explains it as I have the older twin Recti Big7. Need to do some homework on Rectifiers. Cheers, Pearse.

wisnon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 No probs P, 5v Recti 101 lesson here: The Sound of Rectifier - Tube Maze For the 6x5 Some like Sylvania and some like RCA. At Audiogon forum on the big Lampi tread, there was a fellow who compared 6x5 brands. I think the King of 6X5 is the hard to find Tunsol metal base 6x5. Link to comment

My native DSD is limited (but growing!) in comparison but many great recordings at 2L, channel classics, Acousticsounds etc.. Otherwise a lot of upsampling PCM to DSD A short list My rig Link to comment

Elberoth Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Anyone made the 256 DSD upsampling in Jriver work with the Lampi ?

I recently got the Jriver 21, hoping the the new 4x DoP feature would work, but no luck. Sorry if I'm missing something, but why not just use the 4x ASIO/Native option in JRiver? Like the vast majority of USB interfaces, the USB interface in the Lampi can't receive 4x DSD DoP.
