Welcome to LampizatOr.
歡迎來到藍波。
I‘m Lukasz Fikus, born in Warszawa, Poland in 1965.
我是盧卡斯. 費庫斯, 於1965年出生於波蘭.華沙。
I graduated from Warsaw Polytechnic University – Electrical Engineering; speciality power distribution, and a major in High Voltage Physics. I also have an Executive MBA diploma from WUT School of Business in Warsaw in cooperation with London School of Business.
我畢業於華沙理工大學的電子工程系，特別是電源分配並主修高壓物理學。我也拿到與倫敦商業學院合作的華沙WUT商業學院的MBA學位。
I started doing audio projects as a hobby in the eighties and since then my adventure in this world has expanded. Please read my blog page Lampizator.eu for anecdotes and blow by blow accounts of my evolution!
我在80年代因為興趣而開始研究音頻專題，從那之後開啟了我在這個世界的冒險旅程。請點閱我的部落格Lampizator.eu，您會了解我每個階段好玩的事跟一篇篇代表著我的進化歷程的文章。
In March 2010, after 19 years of working for one giant multi-international engineering company, I decided to quit and never ever again work in a corporate environment, sitting behind a desk from 9 to 5, unable to tap into my creative mind in any real way. I stepped down from the position of Poland General Manager. I liberated myself.
在2010年3月，我已經在一個多元世界級的巨頭工程公司工作了19年，我決定離職並且再也不做朝九晚五的辦公室工作，因為這樣的工作環境一點都無法啟發我創造性的思考。我離職時的職位是波蘭區總經理。我解救了我自己。
I registered my own company in July 2010 and maintain a manufacturing workshop in Warszawa, Poland, with six employees and six subcontractors. This workshop is already serving customers across all continents!
我在2010年7月登記成立了我自己的公司，並有個生產工作是在波蘭華沙，共有6名員工跟 6個分包公司。這個工作室服務了整個歐洲大陸的客戶們！
I do not want to betray my “Lampizator principle” which champions the individual, honest business and customer concerns. I want to continue researching, writing and following the quest of truth as always. Being a Prometheus and a salesman? Does it stand the test of integrity? I think that the answer is – yes !
我不想背叛我的“藍波準則”，也就是捍衛獨特，誠信生意以及關懷客戶。我想要持續做研究，寫文章並且追求事實。能同時做普罗米修斯並也是個生意人嗎？（譯者註：普罗米修斯是希臘神話中的大神，如果從波蘭穿越到美國，出現的應該是上帝或聖母）這是挑戰人格完整性嗎？答案是夠挑戰的！（譯者註：人格分裂還不分裂這是個問題）
The unique LampizatOr products that we build are the outcome of my passion, experience, engineering skills and some degree of craziness too ! They are also strongly driven by the passion of all my team. We are all audiophiles and passionate about it.
每一個獨一無二的藍波產品都是集結了我們的熱情、經驗積累、工程學上的技巧、以及某種程度上的瘋狂而成的！沒有我們團隊的高度熱情是沒辦法完成的。我們團隊全都是發燒友而且是充滿激情的那一種。
Welcome to the Fikus world of audio engineering.
歡迎來到費庫斯的音頻工程世界。
I am not trying to compete with the DIY community with my work and products because I believe there are still enough non-soldering music lovers in the world who appreciate and want absolute state of the art products made by hand. Hence I offer DIY parts and stuff in the separate business – The LampizatOr eShop.
我在工作及產品上並沒有嘗試著要和DIY群體競爭，因為我相信這世界上尚有足夠多我未接觸的音樂愛好者，他們追求絕對純手工打造兼具美學的產品。因此為求跟其他產品線區隔，我另外開了一個網店-LampizatOr eShop 來提供DIY 零件及相關元件。
Finally I want to thank my Master Guru Evgennyi Kreminski who taught me everything about soviet triodes.
最後，我想要感謝我的導師Guru Evgennyi Kreminski, 感謝他教導我所有蘇聯三級管的事情。
Talking to MonoAndStereo, May 2014

We are a modern 21’st century business. It just so happens that by using good old electrical knowledge we manage to beat – with our sound – the rubidium clocks, Femtom clocks, 700 X up sampling, 1000 x damping factors, 125 programmable functions, 0,00001% THD, 20-20000 Hz specs, 18 sabre dacs in parallel etc. etc. So called modern technology has little to offer to the true music lover.
我們處於近代的21世紀。我們常運用老的但是很好的舊電子學知識來對抗近代的銣時鐘、Femtom時鐘、700X採樣率、1000X阻尼系數、125種可編程的功能、0.00001％ THD、20-20,000Hz的規格、18個Sabre Dacs並聯等等等等。所謂的近代科技能提供給真正的音樂愛好者的東西為數不多。
We design the products the good old way – with large transformers, with multiple power supplies, with large chassis, with a lot o point to point connections made with silver wires in teflon. We use hundreds of very good and over specified components from best known vendors and brands and we choose them by ear first. We carry enormous R&D efforts every day every week every weekend too, in order to outperform ourselves and competitors. Every one of our products has to undergo rigorous audiophile testing marathons.
我們用好的舊方式設計產品-也就是使用大的變壓器、多路電源供應器、很大的底盤、用特氟隆銀線來連結。我們使用非常多來自於知名供應商及品牌的指定零件，並且我們先用耳朵來選零件。我們的每天、每週、每個週末都花巨多的時間來從事研發工作，就是為了成超越我們自己跟競爭對手。我們的每一個產品都必須經過嚴格的發燒友們的馬拉松式測驗。
If we have to compromise somewhere in our design – we tell you about it and we offer immediately a non-compromise solution at upgraded price.
如果我們必須對我們設計有所妥協-我們會告訴你我們提供升級價格後的不妥協的方案
Every product we build carries a serial number and is unique because we build it for you. It is like no other because we first listen to your requirements and we build a machine that will suit you best now and in the long haul. Every component is documented in our log-book of manufacturing for future reference, servicing and upgrading.
每一個產品都有專屬的序列號，而且是獨一無二的，因為這是我們專門為你製作的。不像其他人，我們是先傾聽你的需求再製作符合你現在及將來需求的機器。我們工廠的製造紀錄本上有機器上使用每一顆零件以便日後參考、服務及升級需求。
Every component carries a five years warranty that is unconditional and transferrable. We honor the warranty on every product bought by you second hand.
每一個零件無條件享有五年保固且能轉手。我們誠信保固你買的二手產品。
Every product can be upgraded in the future to any specs or level you desire. Any forgotten feature can be added later. After a product comes to our factory for repair or upgrade, we can negotiate “resetting” the warranty to new 3 years.每一個產品都能升級為你日後想要的規格或是等級。你可以日後再追加當初忘了買的功能。當你的產品回到原廠維修或升級，我們能討論該產品能否重新再延長保固3年。
After a thorough factory overhaul our previously owned products get a new life with new serial number, new log-book entry and new warranty.
經過原廠檢修或升級的產品將會擁有一個新的序列號，新的生產履歷及新的保固。
OUR VISION
遠景
Our vision is to maintain manufacturing in Poland, now part of European Union. We design everything we sell in our lab. Every circuit is first imagined, then drawn, prototyped and created in out lab. We cooperate with over 30 small and medium firms in Warsaw area, Poland. Even if that means sometimes we have to compromise on the looks, on the physical appearance of our products, we still choose to work with friendly local vendors. We do not intend to grow the size of our firm to make it too big to be fun. We don’t want to outsource anything to foreign countries. We want to keep full control on the product and the way it sounds from A to Z.
我們的遠景是維持在波蘭生產，現在有部分是在其他歐盟國家生產。所有我們販售的產品都是我們自己設計的。我們在工作發想每一個回路，然後試做。我們在波蘭.華沙地區跟超過30個中小型工作室合作。即使這意味著我們有時候得在外觀做工上有所妥協，我們還是選擇與這些友善的當地供應商合作。我們也不想再擴大我們的工作室，因為規模再大就不好玩了。我們不想外包任何東西到國外。我們想從頭到尾地控管我們的產品。
We want to create hi-fi products that stay in your home. Yes, It is that simple. When you try them – you KNOW you want them and then they will stand the test of time. These are not gadgets which get sold after 6 months to make room for another gadget. Our products aspire to be SO MUSICALLY INVOLVING that you simply can’t find anything better.
我們想要創造的Hi-fi產品是可以一直待在你家的。是的，就是這樣簡單。當你開始試聽我們的產品，你會知道這就是你要的，他們會通過你的考驗。他們不是那些你半年後就會為了給新器材騰空間而賣掉的產品。我們的產品渴望貼近音樂，而你就是找不到更好的。
How is that possible?
這有可能嗎？
We have certain criteria and certain musical taste. Before our DAC of today was created, we had to take hundreds of decisions over many years. Do we use this transformer or that? Do we use the tube at 5 mA or at 12 mA? Do we use chokes or resistors for smoothing? Do we regulate the digital supply? etc etc. Every decision could have been different but we took decisions to get as close to our ideal sound. Big companies just can’t do this process. They use school book design, ready blocks. This is good to make a refrigerator or a car, but not for high end stereo.
我們有特定的標準及特有的音樂品味。在現在我們設計的解碼器出現之前，我們多年來做過無數次決定。我們要用這個變壓器還是那個呢？我們要用5毫安還是12毫安的真空管呢？我們要用扼流圈還是電阻來達到流暢性呢？我們需要調整數字供應嗎？等等之類的決定。每一個決定都會有不同結果，但是我們自己做決定來得到最接近我們想要的聲音。大公司們是沒辦法這樣做的。他們會用教科書上有的設計，用現成的模塊。這樣的做法可以做出好的冰箱或汽車，但是是做不出好的高傳真音響器材的。
The result is a very subjective accumulation of hundreds of decisions that make a distinct product. We like that product. If you like it too – you will agree that our decisions were right. If you don’t like it – it is a plain and simple case of different taste. We don’t believe in one product for everybody so we choose to target the like minded audiophiles. This is our strategy.
這些成千上百的決定造就出獨特的產品。我們喜歡那產品。如果你也喜歡，意味著你將會同意我們做的覺得是對的。如果你不喜歡，那就是單純的只是你擁有不同的品味。我們不認為一個產品可以符合所有人的需求，所以我們決定將目標設定的可能喜歡的發燒友們。這是我們的策略。
MISSION
宗旨
We want to provide the true music lovers with fabulously musical stereo equipment, that goes beyond what they imagined possible.
我們想要提供給真的音樂愛好者們他們意想不到的絕佳音響器材。
