Lampizator Big 7 w/vol control, analog input, R2R, DSD256, Superclock, Takatsuki 300B, WE 422. Trade for solid state DAC.

There's a reason why Lampizator Big 7 DACs have near-legendary status. It's one of the few digital sources that can truly transcend the analog-digital divide and simply produce great music.   

This unit was built in 2015 and I bought it as a demo from the US distributor in 2016 (with a 5-year transferable warranty).  At the time of purchase, I upgraded by adding the R2R PCM engine and DSD256.  Earlier this year, I upgraded again by adding the Superclock to the USB input and seamless DSD-PCM (in case you didn't know, prior to the introduction of the seamless feature, Big 7 owners had to manually change input for DSD files.)    

While not included in the asking price, I am making available a pair of Takatsuki 300B and a single Western Electric 422 rectifier tube.  On the used market, the former typically sell for around $1300-$1500, depending on use; the latter for around $500.  For now, these tubes are only available to buyers of the Big 7.  With purchase of the DAC, I'll offer a huge discount on these tubes.  The Taks have less than 50 hours and the WE has less than 20, all of which were on the Big 7.  As you may know, tube DACs are very undemanding and hardly touch the life of a tube.  Stock tubes (Psvane 101D and a nameless rectifier) are, of course, included with the DAC.    

Original packaging, remote control and I *think* a manual are included.  Do yourself a favor and spend some time researching the Big 7 and Lampizator in general.  You'll find that both product and manufacturer/distributor are of the highest caliber.  And for what it's worth, if you ever decide that you want more, the company is known for accommodating upgrades/mods and generous trade-in values.    

I'm selling only because we're moving to a new house that doesn't have a dedicated audio room.  With two small children, I need to get rid of all tube equipment.  I convinced myself that I could still keep it, but given the expensive tubes I typically use it's probably better to be prudent.  In preparation for the move, the Big 7 has been kept in a temperature-controlled storage location and hasn't even been used since the last upgrade.  If you need more pictures, then let me know and I'll take a few more from storage.
