I hope this is on-topic.I want to understand more about effect of phase on audio.There is a product, ZVOX, which is alternative to 5.1 surround for home movies. It is stereo system, but it has phase settings (which you can adjust) that make soundstag...

I don't have Lamm, but I think conceptually there is no real difference between imaging the location of the players and imaging their non location. Sound waves generated by the musicians are traveling in the space between them and even if it weren't ...

Will I be listening to all my sources via the inverse RIAA?
Well, the question was sarcastic but it has some rational grains. If the signal passing via the 834PTF-Air does receive some positive attributes despite of the presumed nastiness of t...

Paul,I have an L2 that uses this tube (at an alarming rate!), so I try to keep a stock of them... While sniffing around, I came upon a deal on eBay that may interest you (since you are in the US)... Check out item number: 150077022964 ...

Yesterday a nice fellow drove off with "my" Lamm ML2s. Now it is really sinking in: How will will I find anything else this good, along with more power?These amps were like a PhD in sound, what might be done with hi-fi. Yes, I have been over 5 year...

He did note that the ML2.2 uses a different OPT, and also that it uses "less feedback" than the ML2.1 (which AD owned for several years). I wonder what this means, "less feedback"? Why would Lamm mess with that very effective scheme? Does he just ...

I bet Taiwanese got tired of getting paid cents on dollar (and usually late) for product they developed and manufactured. The real guilty character in this all affair is Romy the Cat and his rumblings . Without it Pure Power would be selling as it wa...

Well, Stereophile did not trot out the big guns for Lamm, for a change. I can't find my copy of that issue right now, but one comment from Reina was that his bass standard is a recording of pop music that includes electric bass, synthesizer and lapto...

[quote user="HookEm"]I've heard so much about these legendary SET mono-blocks; but as I understand it, it's VERY important to match them up with proper (efficient) speakers.Anyway, I'd welcome some feedback on matching these amps with Lamhorn 1.8's +...

I think I understant pretty well your descriptions and it's surprising the amp can overcome speakers flaws. Is this using the Lamm L2 or any other preamp, or just driving the Melquiades with the source directly? I wonder if that what you describe cou...

Paul,
The idea of the not threaded forum is good that it is always there is opportunity to go back to all there and update own views, or to extend them. In many moths/years when the ML2 stop be a novelty for you, you might return to this thered and ...

IMO, with care the Lowther DX4 does pretty well from 150 to 10k Hz.; but it is as colored when "loaded" by a horn as anything else.The "notch-filtered" DX4 driver is pretty natural in an OB within its "easy" range, lacking only the la...

I think the issue here may be how long the gear is "off" between sessions. If it's going to be quite a while between sessions, then perhaps having some juice coursing through there would shorten bloom time. It literally took seve...

I have noticed the same kind of control and "density" of sound from KR audio amps, which are zero feedback. Have you tried this brand of amp? The one thing that I can tell conclusively about the two different amps is that neither one suff...

el 'Ol, I find this sort of experiment very interesting. There have been a few such studies that attempt to determine what most annoys us in sound and/or music, and some then attempt to rectify the isolated problems by manipulating se...

I have to say, I never gave it much thought, since, as you say, The Book says 5751s are an OK sub for 12AX7. I did realize that the gain was lower, but I obviously had a brain cramp in not interpolating the lower gain to "redistributed" global ...

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...

Here are a few comments by Mike of Audio Federation about his exposure to new Lamm ML3 amp:

In fact it was more interning then the entire review in Soundstage, at least more informative. A few comments t...

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...

[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...

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="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...

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...

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...

Audio people frequently go astray in their thinking and actions and this creates a good breeding ground for all possible audio sale opportunists. I would like to explore one moment that has not a lot of public attention and to look at the moment slig...

Romy, harken back to post #117 in this thread to refresh your memory about the "acceptable" small tube sockets used in this amp. Maybe Lamm used good sockets in your own amps, but the ones he put in my amp are not good. After all, the 12AX7s use ...

Anyone ever tried the "pinless" tubes that have long-ish wires in place of the usual pins?A Moscovite I ran across has Russian mil-spec 6AK5 "equivalents" that have pinched glass and the wires instead of pins. Oddly, Lamm lists the type numerically ...

[quote user="Antonio J."] … looking like the Kemp's unit. But that's provided the input electricity is still under 5% of distortion. They also state that that performance is under linear load, so it might be possible that using chokes or trannies loa...
