Just me and my Golden Gate ;)
« on: 28 Feb 2016, 12:55 pm »
As my first thread is waiting for approval before it shows up on this circle, I might as well introduce myself:
I'm a 50something year old male high school teacher from a rural part in the middle of Germany and infected by the high end virus for some 30 years now. I've been following the development of Lampizator for 3 years or so online. I took the chance and travelled 200 miles to listen to a (stunningly good) Lampizator presentation one month ago at Juergen's near Köln. Now my brand new Golden Gate DAC (symmetrical, preamp, two pairs of XLR outputs, custom order external infrared receiver) sits silently waiting for a set of 4 Kron45s which have been promised for a week or so (the provisional used tubes they sent with the DAC had one faulty tube). It's a state of near torture :cry:
The rest of my gear:
C.A.P.S.-similar home made Win2012Server w. AO, JRiver18,  JPlay - Audioquest Diamond USB - Uptone Regen - ifi micro iUSB3.0 - Lampizator GG - Audioquest Sky (sym.) Plinius SA 103(capacitor mod) - Audioquest Volcano - German Physiks PQS 202 MkII
A  rather long run of speaker cables comes through the wall to my speakers in the living room. Everything else hifi is hidden in my home office next door. That's why I asked for the external infrared receiver. Lampizator made that possible: outstanding service!

Thank you all for the kind welcome!

15 minutes ago my tubes arrived for the Lampizator GG. Now I'm waiting through the warm up before "first impression". Takes some discipline.
