(reading the linked thread) I was reminded immediately of the artists I know, VERY few of whom have anything at all interesting to say about art (or anything else, either, really...). So it may be pandemic.But, as you have pointed out, Romy, au...

[quote user="Paul S"]…. they want to be sure previous clients feel perhaps like the times and technology are passing by them by rather than making them feel like they were sold a bill of goods.[/quote] Actually a good point. It presented as “technolo...

Romy, for one thing, you are still talking "best possible sound" in a very literal way while most other people are merely working out one or another acknowledged compromise, or they are hoping to make their system do an even more spectacular renditio...

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...

I would like do not shape this article as a review: I do not write “reviews” religiously and I have many re...

[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 ...

Our foreign correspondent in Brooklyn Rich Fershtinkiner recently interviewed Vladimir Lamm, the owner and chief-assembler of the Lamm Industries Incorporated. Below is the Rich’s transcript:
- Good morning sir, you owe me $2345.00 – said Vladi...

[quote user="Paul S"]Lamm did choose to use some of the driving ideas from his proven SET amp…[/quote]Yes and no. ML3 design wise, as I understand is, in fact is not as interesting amp and it might be otherwise. Vladimir went for the target marke...
|
|
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...
|
|
Well, the Q5s were everywhere when I was trying to find big amps, and they really have no chance to move me. Even to do what they might do would take maybe 500W SS, yet Harley thinks he hears them at their best with the ML2.2. Then again, I suppose...
|
|
The strangest (and most disappointing) thing I noticed is that this "review" is so threadbare that it pretty much boils down to a "testimonial". Could he have taken an easier path? Surely, along with calling the 2.2 "a worthy successor to the 2.0 a...
|
|
Yep, he heard and talked about some of the right things, down to problems when he needed "more" but more was not available. But can one really "hear these at their best" with any 94 dB speaker, let alone Magicos? Odd that neither of these reviews s...
|
|
[quote user="Paul S"]Is he saying other (lesser) phono stages are class A/B? Better, perhaps, to claim "all SET gain path"? [/quote] What does it mean? Why any state of a phonstage would ever be entering anything then class A?[quote user="Paul S"]Lam...

Global, perhaps you are being modest, or maybe even a little disingenuous. But if you are being serious, then I worry that you may not be ready to do this on your own yet.In the first place, what makes you think Melquiades is "better than ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Scrolling down to the images of the Lamm ML2.2, I see something that intrigues me...
Four ML2.2s are used to bi-amp the Verity Audio speakers; I didn't know they could be daisy chained by using both the XLR and RC...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Perrew,I do not know if you use sarcasm in there but Lamm LP2 is not my bellowed phonostage. In fact I am one of the very few people whop do not like it at all. How much in what I do not like in Lamm LP2’s MM section com...

[quote user="steverino"]I made the mistake of clicking on the first link. It is a dangerous thing to try to parody Stereophile or TAS articles or writers. At least I think that was what the writer was attempting to do. If he was serious then he is wr...

Hm, shaking rafters is not good sign at all and it is said very little about the subject I was taking about. Ther...

[quote user="Stitch"] I wanted to do that, but they are so rare and I found nobody to visit. [/quote] Well, let me give you my version. I know ML2 quite well and I made a number of people to buy it, not soliciting them but rather demonstrating to t...

[quote user="Stitch"]I listened to those some time ago. It was a full Lamm combo with ML3 + LP2 paired with Wilson Alexandria. This Doc from the WBF Forum never missed a second to tell the world how super this combination is. Above the holy grail. I ...

Lamm announced that he introduced a new phonostage: LP2.1. http://www.lammindustries.com/PRODUCTS/LP2.1%20introduction%20booklet.pdf This is kind of strange move. The LP2 was very bad phonostage; despite all industry medals and huge amount of glowin...

[quote user="decoud"]I imagine the resistance to the DSET concept does not come from idiocy - Lamm may well be steeped in vanity and avarice, but he is certainly no idiot - but from resistance to combining amplification and loudspeaker in a singl...

A few days back I visited an audio person who demonstrated to me his experiments with extreme lateral deviation of souses. Regardless if I agree or not what he was doing or trying to do the demonstration has an unexpected result. One day I was driv...

David Robinson Positive-Feedback published his another pearl - a review about Lamm LP2 Phonostage. The review is 14 pages, only one of the9 – page 9, is trying to say something about the Phonostage but said literary nothing. The whole review is a...

I was telling about Lamm new SET and it highly likely that it was on display only. If Lamm desired to play it then it would be incredibly foolish from my point view and I do not think Vladimir would do this mistake. Anyhow, Yoshi, really, jokes aside...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I feel very pleased for you. I was always somewhat puzzled by your descriptions of how you felt the S2 sounded, particularly between 600 and 1200 Hz. My experiences with a few different horns but always with a good quality...

Yesterday I got two emails asking me about Lamm ML3. I replied as I usually do, saying that I that I do not practice in satisfaction in audio-consumer curiosity. Still, it made me to think again about a hypothetic amp around GM-70.I am not a fa...

I imagine the resistance to the DSET concept does not come from idiocy - Lamm may well be steeped in vanity and avarice, but he is certainly no idiot - but from resistance to combining amplification and loudspeaker in a single, coherent, monolithic s...

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 ...

Ethan,
Since I published the article “Preamplifiers: keys to mystery” I received many emails from my site visitors asking about Lamm prams and questioning my remarks in comparing what I said to “data form other sources”. Some people disagreed or sur...
