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...

I just posted yeastoday the post above and have got already a few emails asking about the “new” ways that I am planning to use S2. OK, let me to explain what is going on.
The default Vitavox S2 driver comes with thier default aluminum diaphragm with...

[quote user="Paul S"]I got new 6C33Cs for V2s from Lamm because no one else wants to match them, let alone match them for gain…[/quote]
There is no meaningful mutual conductance or bias matching for 6C33Cs (in context of ML2) besides gain matching, ...

[quote user="el`Ol"] Hello Romy, have you searched for explainations for these observations? Are there others who made the same observations and tried to explain them? Does the damping factor play a role?From my limited experience I can say that ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not know what fantasies Tom Martin and Robert Harley had but it looks to me that Magico Ultimate II is very much the same as Magico Ultimate I, the prefix II mean a new round of marketing BS… Here are the picture...

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...

[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...

Paul was reporting about the last Audio Show in Irvine, about a good system being demonstrated , the amplifier that it was talking about the 'Milton',I think the real name of this tube amplifier is 'Melton' MC33 what I can remenber from this amp is a...

Hi,
I have a phono stage from the Korean company Silvaweld that uses the 5651 tube in the power supply as a voltage reference. It also is using a Russian 6C19Pi tube along with EF86 pentode as the high voltage regulator. The rectifier is...

I got home today, power up the payback and played some bootlegs of Australian festivals that Kostas Metaxas sent me another day. I paid attention that the sound was strange it was too hard atop. That was something new. I put in my player the CDs...

[quote user="Paul S"]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 ...

Actually, Romy, I did not think you were kidding, because I get it, just as you gathered. As you know, as I have posted, the ML2 has been the pivot point of my system for over a year now, and this is exactly because of how this facinating&...

Ok, understood, at least somewhat. Are you suggesting that the S2 operates at the frequencies between 1000hz and 3.6khz? I am not insisting upon using the driver at the frequencies that I was initially suggesting; far from it, actually, as these were...

[quote user="N-set"] While I agree that they are typical "full of nothing" boxes and in no way I'd like to defend anything connected to them, butI doubt that the SUT-to-grid distance is such a critical layout parameter: 1) this wiring is within the b...

Rooms are normally booked from Manufacturers or Distributors. Not all of them have a full line, so they look for Partners. Looking for Partners to share costs and/or to present a running System. A Turntable or Digital Manufacturers does not build amp...

Yep, you re right, the Yamamoto A-06S is SET, I did not read it carefully and I was under presumption that A-06S is PP monoblock. Good for Yamamoto! The only amps I heard with AD1 were PP. Somewhere in the very end 90s I shortly was exposed to i...

Greg, I have written about my "DEBZ" speakers several times at this site, including Post ID 3269, early in my original Lamm ML2 thread. I mention these speakers now to compare what we are aiming at here to what I have already done, wh...

After swapping all the tubes between the left and right amps, the cycling bias current issue (mentioned here in a previous post) seems to have settled.I now have another question, which I hope other ML2 users might answer; first the context: These am...

Let start from the largest drivers and go down. There are larger then 18” drivers (23” and 30”) but looking at this magnet structures I do not find them serious. I addition to make the 23” cone stiff enough requires a lot of diaphragm’s mass or to us...

I have recently acquired a pair of (2000 vintage, I think) Lamm ML2s and would like to share impressions and development strategies with other ML2 owners, including former owners, and perhaps I may learn from any pertinent experience.
In addition to...

You do make me laugh sometimes! You really do seem to have problems in seeing the merits in anything if it doesn't fully satisfy the very particular performance criteria you set. As a species such inflexibility wouldn't allow you to evolve very much ...

[quote user="genesis168"]I am a owner of an ET SU-1 and would like to know what phono stage would go best with it. Would a Lamm LP2 be a good match?Will be using a Dynavector XV1s with it. Thanks in advance[/quote]It is truly an interesting question....

No matter how often I go through it I still frequently get confused and disoriented when tubes go bad. In this case I have been integrating a new (passive) pre-amp and a new (tubed) phono stage into the system, including trying various tub...

In his RMAF the Federated Mike post some comments about his use of ML3:

Even though his comments from my point of view have “issuers” but Mike’s comments sti...

LaurentAlthough I have whined that the ML2 requires "tweaking" to get its best, the truth is that it is closer to the dream of acceptable "plug and play" performance than any amp I have ever used. Which is a long preamble to saying I am hardly an ex...
