[quote user="Paul S"]All the criticism notwithstanding, Lamm is clearly one of the most interesting amp builders out there, and IMO he is someone worth watching… [/quote]
Unquestionably, and it is what I do - watching. However, here is where I have ...

Potentiometers:

... How good are these pots? Do they actually have "stops", where they won't turn any further? Again, I ask because it...

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="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...

In the past there was such a concept of full-function preamplifiers that included MM and MC inputs. With time such devises die out and nowadays it is VERY difficult to find a full-function preamplifier generally and a good sounding full-function ...

Gregm,
I do not think that to be reasonable is a tall order, in fact I would insist that I nothing but reasonable.
Still, I feel that it is a huge distraction for people and a disappointment for me that others see juts an amplifier with a bi...

Here is a good day in my Audio biography: the last particle of electronics made by Lamm Industries has successfully removed from my listening room. I was using in one or another way Lamms from I think 1998 and I use to have many M1.1s, L1, LP2, L2 an...

Tommy,
I would not characterize myself as “die hard” anyone and if I would then my selections in audio would hardly relate to my alleged “die hard” inclinations.
Lamm’s stuff is perfectly fine – as good as it could be, within the scope of Lamm’s o...

Actually I think I was clueless until a second part of 90s, perhaps the late 90s. You know it is kind of strange: I did audio kind of all my life but I never knew, cared and was a part of the high-end hobby. All those valleys and summits of audiophil...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don't have a problem with what Lamm has done in offering the ML3 (ignoring the price)... If I have a problem it is more related to how the product is being represented. Representations aside, depending on how it sounds,...

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 ...

I am all set with preamps. I hardly need or ever try anything else besides my preamp. I do have an interest in hope-to-be-coming Lamm L3 preamp, that will be an answer if the X-factor that I described in L1/L2 articles was a manifestation of Lamm’s i...

There is more information about the Lamm new LP1 phono preamplifier, including the price of $33K

The images do charley show two step up transformers at the ent...

[quote user="peter foster"] The feature that I find the most useful is being able to select the soundstage characteristics. There is a noticeable difference between the various settings that assist with stereo imaging of players / instruments…....

[quote user="Paul S"] Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond Edition BassZilla (hard to find at www.blackdahlia.com), and I tricked it out considerably from his mule. Bass is BR, 15" Audax P380MR, which is a nice semi-...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

Wojtek, a preamp should care absolute transparency not because I said it or have warren somewhere within my site but because it just makes sense, doesn’t it? I undusted what you ask but I also undusted why you asked it. The key is that you do not und...

[quote user="peter foster"] 3) A stereo recording of a beautiful piece of music that is well played but where the soundstage is imperfect.[/quote] Peter, we will do what we spoke in emails (there was nothing secretive in there folks), still ther...

Marc Mickelson published his new infomercial
about Lamm LP1 phonostage. I do not use Lamm products
but as former Lamm product user I naturally keep looking what Lamm does. http://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/lamm_lp1_signature.htm
I did not rea...

Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3
What is important is to undusted that my view less targets the Lamm ML3 but rather it targets the ML3 as a representative of entire class of amplifiers. When I to...

After finishing my left 6-chennal Melquiades and putting amps and Macondo back as it was intended to be I was expecting that it should be “better” but I did not expect HOW MUCH better it might be. Many aspects of sound are more interesting now,...

As some may know from previous posts, I have been working on horns for the Vitavox S2 as well as other drivers (I am photo-documenting the process, as it is somewhat unusual, possibly to be posted here at a later date). Last night I was able to test ...

…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.

I probably never get tired to mention the stupidity of the folks
who write for Audio publications. This time my hero is Marshall Nack of positive-feedback.
The hero just published a review about the Lamm updated preamp L2:

[quote user="hagtech"] After many years, Romy has come to enjoy this style of amplification. If I read his words correctly, the sound of these machines brings him more emotion and connection with the music and musicians. An admiral goal.&...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started push...

I keep thinking about my new idea of more than 2 channels
and room acoustic reinforcement but in natural and organic way, without using DSP.
I have invited my friend who did it from
last week to collaborate the idea and to bound some of my concep...
