I really love NSD, however Lampizator offers customization via tubes . . . and that’s the rabbit hole I’ve descended into!!

I think whichever one you desire, I’ll keep the other

I’ve hunted for years to acquire a 2nd Supremo. Ask those that know, they’re THAT good!
They are Very RARLY Available State Side
The ultimate is the Venti …. and is unobtainable … in the US
I’ve spoken to Giuseppe Rampino, the mastermind behind NSD, and he states that it is possible for me to acquire a European 230v Venti and convert it to 115v for use in the US.

Both Supremo‘s have silver face plates with the conventional, smooth, flat texture… Not the wavy version that you may have seen in some photographs.

The first Supremo has a silver faceplate with silver chassis purchased from Skip@audioThesis
as a demo around 2018. Lightly used as I picked up my Lampizator Amber 3 in 2020.

The second DAC COMBO has a silver faceplate with black chassis and matching 192 transport with silver plate, and black chassis with RAL I2S umbilical cord and upgraded fuse. I’m the second owner on this one.

Details can be hammered out later if anyone has interest

Thanks for your time Polkies!

    The slightly older silver unit was my first Supremo and it is boxed up. I can take pictures if you like but it’ll take a day or two.

    The silver face and black body combo units have been under wrap, but not boxed, and I can easily take pictures when I get in this afternoon.

    I am in the 2K range for the stand alone Supremo and about $2600 for the DAC/192 transport combo
