I had two friends in NY City with Klangfilm Bionor who drove them with Lamm ML2.0. One of them had 405 footers and another had fool filed-coil version. I did not look into details and if I remember correctly the driver were in fabric cocoon but I do ...

I am sorry, I made a mistake, I my post above I presume that Peter Breuninger is just a new Lamm owner why is trying to wrote his “reviews”. As a reader of my site has pointed out today - Peter is Stereophile and TAS writer - well this makes so much ...

[quote user="Wojtek"]" The only concern being that ML2 is a feedback amp and Mel not. [/quote] And it is exactly why Lamm is able to drive more or less successfully those sub 90dB loads but Melquiades is not. The SETs with no-feedback are VERY sensit...

I twice had the opportunity to listen to a Wilson: The Puppy 8 combined with a Lamm power amp and the latest Maxx with Soulution electronics. Both times my impression was that there is some characteristic shining or radiance probably induced by the b...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]A possibly dumb question here: When you and Paul give figures in milliamperes, where are you measuring the current (at what points), or are you extrapolating the figure? [/quote] The 6C33C current is measured in mA. The wa...

Well, I can not refuse myself in pleasure to post a picture (by Gismodo) of the $98K Mandarin Supreme speaker. BTW, how did they sound? BTW, as I understand our friend Lamm was smart and he put his ML3 on silent display in order do not demonstrate “h...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I'm not really concerned whether passive eq no feedback pre-amps have recently become fashionable. I've been using them for 15-20 years. They've always sounded more natural to me. Most commercial implementations that I...

Wow, how much better would the audio magazines be if we didn't have to tolerate the cliched and ill informed appraisals we are normally subjected to?! I completely understand how you perceived the sound of your Lamm experience from this image. I'd ge...

in my case what I discovered is certainly very convincing. I tested today 3 times. The last time I has SS it was Lamm 1.1 and BAT 200, they did need 30 min to warm up but the sonic difference was not as huge as I observe with B2. Before 2 hours B2 in...

"with only disadvantage in sensitively department" That's quite a big disadvantage from where I look at it.The way you describe the speakers with all of your other amplifiers seems to match how I recall them sounding. I cannot imagine how...

Actually I would like to stay at on the subject of this thread - the benefits of critiques and the benefits of positive perception of critiques. I less care about corporations as they have no personal consciousness but I rather target my attention to...

Coincident was not there, unfortunately. I, too heard good things about them but never had a chance to listen to them. Maybe I should try David Lewis - as much as I don't like going there, he has some good stuff once in a while.I liked the show. It w...

Well, I never seen it happens but who know – that might be if some use “violence” on tubes. The sad part is that to replace these sockets is difficult. I have replaced in ML2 the 6C33C sockets in ML2 - it was easy but the 5651 are PC board-mounted an...
|
|
…. what tube’s socket is arcing. If the tube juts started to ark then bending the tube legs, cleaning the sockets 9scabng the meta with no marks of the ark left) and treating it with conceive grease might help. Do not forget that most of the ...
|
|
Thanks again, Romy. I never would have guessed that the relay-like pulse comes from a dying output tube rather than a fault with the relay itself; but that does make it lots easier to deal with!As you know, meaningful info about this amp is har...
|
|
Paul, I do not remember I had problems with 6AK5 sockets, and frankly I feel that your preoccupation with small socks of ML2 is a bit strange. If you “keep getting noise from the 12AX7/sockets, and this noise gets resolved when you clean the connect...

I just bought a pair of Lamm ML2`s. I live in Norway, so I have to convert the amps from 110v to 220v or 240v. The offical voltage in Norway is 230v, but it varies a lot. Does anybody know how to convert the amps?. The should be a wheel to select the...
|
|
Thanks again, Romy. The bias pots, mechanically, are just as you observe.I supposed that the extra current draw during burn-in was normal for the ML2s but I had not noticed it before, since I typically do not bother to check or t...

[quote user="Paul S"] Any ideas for sources for 6AK5 and 5651A? Seems like most of the ML2 tubes are "hard to find" from local sources. [/quote]
I do not know why you say it. Both 6AK5 and 5651 are very common and very inexpensive tubes. The 6...
|
|
Skushino, from what you say I presume you use two pair of ML2, right? Yes, what you say is correct but if I were you then I would not introduce an addition caps to signal path. In my view the best scenario for high path would be to minimize the coupl...

I think it is both Product placement and stupidity. Robert Harley has a room with tall ceilings and a lot of open space on the sides that suck out LF very strongly.

I tend to look at specs even though they might not tell much about sound. I saw that one of the DSP processors has an ambience type phase injection option for a pair of front ambience-type speakers, along with the rear ambient speakers. I am probably...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...There is also no infrastructure among the park of ready to use speakers that would be accommodated to use with DSETs...
The Cat[/quote]Yes, this is what I was trying to get at: what someone talented like Lamm might do ...

It is more or less in the same direction like any Product Placement ( some call it review) from that group who lives from sales. That means, it is always the same "direction":
Rule No 1: Compare the object with something similar which is much...

Somewhere in 1997-88 I bought a hundred 6C33C. I believe during those years the where more expensive then now and I paid around $7-8 per tube. Over the years burning the 6C33C in pair of VK-60 (8 tubes), two pair of Lamm ML2 (ML2), ML2 with Melquiade...

Morricab,
I do not know the “truth” and what I said are pure my speculations based upon what I hear and what I measure.
Yes, Lamm drivers at 310mA quite hard but do not forget that his objectives, besides everything, were to get out of his SET max ...

I am interested that Romy has found some interest in DHT amplifiers.
Many, many amp builders have used many, many tubes over the years, including many IHTs, triode-wired pentodes, etc. Japanese builders have used big transmitting pentodes driven i...

It did not last long….
Just a couple days back I was thinking that I will live with my current lower bass for a while and now I feel that I will not. I do not feel that my current ULF is wrong. In fact I feel that it is truly superb but I wou...

I kind of understand what frustration some audio people have when they hear that Daniel Weiss claims that he designs his equipment without any listening. I find those frustrations are from wrong reasons. It is funny that audio people believe that...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...
