New Dac arrived spent 3 hours trying to get it to work. Discovered fuse has gone in amp. What a day changed all tubes thought I was going mad. Hopefully get new fuses tomorrow and sort this out

Could say check the obvious first.......... but we've all been there chasing our tail :doh:

Hope it hits the spot when you do get sound Scott.

Thanks Alan
I'll keep you posted on progress. Major highs and lows yesterday.
Have got spare amp if I can't fix the main one.

Hope you're up and running soon. Valve rolling really is very interesting with that device. Suggest you check out at least 4 different triode types and some different rectifiers.

In my opinion there isn't much out there that can better it at any price.

wow... that's one hell of a dac... Hope you get your system running soon.

Interesting.

The Golden Gate has a copper chassis.

[Firebottle]

...and sounds absolutely sublime, having heard one ;)

[User211]

Rob's I presume. Yes it is great;)

Got the Lampiaztor up and running. Having to use old amp for time being as didn't have time to get fuses
Plugged in to CD player with Golden gate 300b's sounds amazing even with old amp. Have changed valves to 101d a lot more slam and 3D soundstage is something else.
Will give DSD a go tomorrow going to leave it on all night again to try and run caps in a bit
It's safe to say I'm very happy [emoji7]
My mate has the Golden Gate coming with the copper chassis. That Dac is world class full stop!

Lampi has been left on since Friday
Played cd again today through Lampi and can not believe sound. Baring in mind that my dedicated spdif cable isn't coming till this Friday and I'm just using £15 one from Maplins also running old Arcam amp.
The sound is stunning 3-D imaging is incredible soundstage is all around
Played John Grants - Pale Green Ghosts. It sounded very analogue very non fatiguing on the ears lots of bloom, quite lush to be honest.
I ripped the cd to Jriver and converted it to DSD using BMC USB cable and gave that a listen. Somehow it managed to sound better clearer more detail and as before the music was all around me dancing around in my ears. I didn't even know you can hear music like this? Quite incredible really! Safe to say I'm very happy. I'm sure as time goes on it will only get better as everything opens up and I get all the right cables and such.

Congratulations!
Try to use some audiophile fuses.
I always got amazing results.

Audiophile fuses in plug? Got Missing Link opus f power cable coming this week.

I forgot that british plug has fuse inside.
I mean - in unit.
But I think it will work in plug as well.

[vegman1973]

In the lampi? I'm not changing fuses in that? I think the power lead will have audiophile fuse in. Thanks for advice though

Scott, there should be some fuse in unit. I met only 1 time in my life audiophile fuse was installed in unit by manufacturer (it was AMR DP-777). in 3 units of T+A I found 14 (!) fuses, upon replacemet all result was amazing.

[vegman1973]

The Lampiaztor is amazing I won't be opening it up to mess with fuses
Maybe on plugs but not the Dac
