Preamplifiers: keys to mystery – or…. how a preamp might be not only a load-driving gadget.
Years after years the preamplifiers are being a “terra incognito” of audio people. I admit that preamps are a subject of my persistent curiosity. I was alway...

[quote user="Paul S"] After a few minutes, I checked the amps with a (Fluke 189) DMM, just for drill. Voltage was set down to 175, but current was about 450 mA. Dialing down the pots, I could not get the current below 390 mA, even t...

Hato, I do not what to caps on your little celebration, and to play with old Lamm 2.0 is a pure celebration, but I would like to pass two observations. The ML2.0 with Avantgarde Duo will work fine BUT will be a weak element. I do not want to critici...

[quote user="k100"] If I were to try to find a pair of ML2's that are older production, what years of production does this include? [/quote]
All ML2.1 are the new version of ML2 and they are not good as ML2. However, I have seen the original ML2 mar...

Romy,I find much of your comments interesting, funny, and surly. As a music lover, especially of large-scale orchestral and intimate vocal (from Scheherazade to Vienna Teng), I'm open to all views. My view is that nothing is perfect and e...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, “everything is a compromise” it is true, but when you talk about compromises you are talking about purchasing decisions not about abstract sound. So, I really do not know where ML1 would be in your scale of your compr...
|
|
Generally, the ML2 sounds fine after >45 minutes of running, pretty much as any other tube amp. Also since your Lamms were sitting for 5 years without working you would need a few weeks unit your Lamms reach a nominal operation condition. The well...

[quote user="decoud"]I suppose at least you can give him credit for reversing the switch from electrocube 935s back to your favourite 950s....[/quote]Nope, I do not see any reason to extend any credit in there. I have no idea where those caps are ins...

[quote user="steverino"]I think my statement " Because we can't map it precisely from the stage to the speakers..??" was on the right track. Yes there is a distortion of spatial information from performance to speaker in the same manner that a ...

It became customary that I make fan or blame in idiocy different industry reviewers, regrettably they give endless opportunely to do so by writing their incredibly stupid review. It also become customary that I follow what Lamm produces. I use to own...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Briefly: a spatial expander is a mechanism of artificially creates spacious more sound. A spatial expander does not generate more realistic sound, but more pleasant sound. The spatial effects are accomplished by mixing into...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Good question, HookEm. I would say my answer would be 2, “Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general”. Do not get me wrong, driving your, or any other single drivers would do fine by ML2.0 and you will be able to...
|

OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr perhaps a better quest...

Merlin here is the Stereophile measurements on the Lamm ML2.1http://stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/1004lamm/index4.htmlAs you can see the rise in distortion vs. frequency shows only a small rise in distortion even down to 10Hz. This is an indica...

[quote user="morricab"] The one thing that the Lamm ML2 does differently than nearly all tube amps is regulation of the output stage. They do this with the 2nd 6C33C that is on the chassis. Even the KR amps don't do this and I think it is...

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...

I got a forwarded email today containing the Lamm Industry’s release notes about their new SET amplifiers.

The Audio Fedirection guy got a new camera? I bet he did. Anyhow, the pictures are courtesy of Audio Fedirection blog.

As I said above - I was as queries to have a preview of that ML3 amp as I was wonder...

The reader who read my comments above about Lamm’s new ML3 amplifiers might have wrong impression where I’m coming from. I have a general tendency to be skeptical (because the experiences) when I exposed to audio but in case of ML3 there is much deep...

…and since it is in LL line I presume that it might be right along with LL2 Preamp – not particularly interesting preamp. In other words it is most likely the “positively expected” and “might be interesting” continuation of the L1 and L2 line.

Thank you JD for all the information. It was most helpfull. I will get the amps in the original crates, the instructions manual anf a few sets replacement tubes. Do you know the physical size of the fuses?. Seems like I have to buy some. I have alrea...

Thank you for all the advice. It`s been most helpfull. Thank you jd* for the illustrations. I look forward to try these amps in my system. Hato ...

It six month as Lamm released his LL1 preamp but I do not see any “jitter” about the sound of the unit. Even the Lamms’ leash-driven, in-house bitches from Soundstage do not publish any “review”. I did not see even any talk online about LL1. This is ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still, there is an interesting phenomenon that I never was able to understand. I observe Lamm’s show rooms from I think 1998-1999 to 2006 when I did my last audio show. Surprisingly all Lamm rooms at audio shows sound ...

You have this behavior with the tube that you run for 6 month? That is strange. The behavior you described (with this amps) is typical for a very fresh new tube but after 20-50 hours the amplitude of the current raise shall be minimum and and af...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don’t have a pair of Melquaid DSETs. I drive the horns with a pair of Lamm ML2s, running full range. I use a second pair of M1.1s for lower bass. The ML2s are hard to fault. In fact at this point, I can only find positi...
