Romy notes:[quote]The Lamm ML3 with it’s (looks like) composite driver stage might most likly to pump a lot of current and it would be so rational to put in there a second GM70 on the same chassis with own transformer, driving it from the same driver...

[quote user="anthony"]Macondo is no magic bullet. Sure, Macondo/DSET is put together in a way that it's components need for optimal operation, and when "used as directed" the performance is phenomonal, but it is still prone to room integration and p...

Sure, Mike, however what I learned with my living experience that that is nothing really valuable in life that is expansive. Anyhow, Mike, thanks for the pictures. BTW, some of them are very nice, very-very nice phonographically.
I was particularly...

Well, FWIW, my Audax LF units started life at ~100 dB and wound up closer to 96 dB to get ~40 Hz from them via ~ 4.75 cu. ft. BR boxes. Computer tuning was very close, only a strip of rubber weatherstripping in the vent opening between be...

Personally I am not interested to talk about reviewers, because it is wasted time (they don't review something, they design a Product Placement and maybe they add that they 'like' it...)But, I really would like to know what situation they describe as...

..... he he :-)Seriously, I listened some months ago to the LL1 sig. /ML3/Alexandria combination. A perfect example for an expensive mismatch. These Wilson Speakers are a grave for those amps, midrange is ok, but no high frequency area and absolutely...

[quote user="Saturntube"]Well this is the RCA LC-9A It is identical, with an extra cabinet for an 18" driver... We saw some old time reviewers going out of the room laughing and shaking their heads! We thought they were saying, yes a 50 year ...

So, finally, here is the answer to my speculative question, up at the top of the page. It certainly looks like Stereophile got the news quite a while ago, all right, in time to drop the ML2.1 from and incorporate the first public news of its dis...

I do not have any disappointment that there was no serious public overview of ML2. I have quite low esteem to audio public generally and to the people who facilitate public overview in particularly. It has nothing to do with cynicism but rather with ...

[quote user="haralanov"] According to a friend of mine, who has a lot of experience with GM70, this tube starts to sing only with (very high quality) interstage transformer coupling. He told me that when it is used with coupling capacitor (as is the ...

Why use the GM70 apart from its power potential? For one thing, it seems to require literally lethal voltages to become remotely listenable. Is it really "that" linear, to insist on it?But my experience with GM70 is quite imited. I ...

Well, there is not really blame in the situation as anyone has good and honorable intentions. Wilson does what they do and Aleksandra might be not your type of speakers but the larges Wilsons do have own charm and charisma. I would argue that 85% of ...

At the light of my trip to Philadelphia I paced a phone call to Peter Breuninger who reportedly lives in the town of the “brotherly love”. Peter Breuninger had found Philadelphia Audio Society years back and I presume is alocal Philadelphia audio guy...

[quote user="Merlin"] Directly heated triodes …. It has fully regulated power supplies and absolutely zero AC filament hum. [/quote]
That bothers me tremendously is the half-ass approach of high-end products and the fact that for exuberant amount of...

Alex,
I cannot answer your questions objectively. It was over 15
years ago when I was working with this phonostage and since I built the last
version, I did not make any experiments with it. I do feel the design is
spectacular, and I am lu...

Wojtek, since you have invoked me by name, I will respond directly to associated remarks, while Greg and Romy have answered to other points as well as I might have done.I believe I have mentioned that I have been at hi-fi fairly seriou...

[quote user="KOTriode"] On dynamic, the 6C33C tube showed its ability to go deep in the bass on Ray Brown trio recording of Soular Energy which is excellent for a 15W SE , the 845 amp can do better, but not by much, but probably because of its 25W ou...

Well, here and there at my site I’m calling for rationalism in audio and suddenly I go enthusiastic regardless a perspectives of $200K Cessaro’s Gammas availability. Sounds hypocritical, doesn’t it? Well, not really.
I’m under no presumption that go...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] It will drive either my Tannoy Gold's full-range, or my 3-way system (Altec 515/Vitavox S2/EV T-350 or JBL 2450). I could also use it just to drive the Altec 515 and use my current 300B to drive the MF/HF of my...

Splitting the Lamm ML3 thread: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=3595
There are some people who worship direct-heated tubes and attribute to them some ventures (like absent of higher harmonics and a special micro-fineness). The...

Yes yes yes .... Lamm Industries is a BUSINESS... This is abundantly clear whenever I order tubes from them!
But the most desirable of Lamm's past creations are not the kind of things born solely of a desire to make money.
I understand Lamm's ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Well romy will probably disagree or maybe find it off topic but I am sorry there is huge margins built in somewhere if someone is trying to sell me wood cabinets with TAD drivers for 140k $. One of you guys can ...

Yes, it is a bit ridicules to have 4 boxes – a clearly money-raising project. Probably Lamm need to make it 2 chassis init with box #5 is to store manuals and box #6 to store the tube replacements. Talking about tube – one gain state with 4 paral...

Rony,
After reading my post about the undersized core (for the given current) of Lundahl transformers you might be an impression that Lundahl are some kind of second choice. The undersized amorphous Lundahls forum is second chose for an ultimate ful...

Joe,
The “decoration” you described came from the fact that you wrote your message on MS Word that adds ugly formatting when you paste it into native HTML editors. I also write in Word and I uselessly before I unload my posts I paste my Word’s text ...

After a few years I have again pair of Lamm ML2 in my room and I decide to take advantage and render my experience with this amp into a format of my today’s understanding. I know ML2 quiet we and used it with a number of loads. Over the time I develo...

Go today two emails from the site readers with two links to the CES comments.
First one is from Jeffrey Jackson who looks like was recruited by Joe the Uninvolved Archeologist with the room:

Well, what is interesting in the subject: if the Cessaro guy will ever go for the DSET configuration in his commercial products? I am not certain but it is possible that in DSET configuration it might be possible to overcome the accused shortcomings ...

[quote user="Paul S"]For me, the gratuitous mention of "name" yachts in the early part of the blurb is such an obvious Pimp Job that I literally could not get past it on my first try. And I have to disagree about the "design', and the "execution...

[quote user="hagtech"] I run the driver tube at 170V @20mA. I don't think you need to run this tube at high current. It is very linear with wide signal swings at this bias. [/quote]
Good operation points for use it as a driver. You might...
