[quote user="skushino"]So next week I will broaden my playback experience by adding my new 90wpc PP mastadon, and Romy's approved Lamm ML-2, in addition to my current DRD-300B amps. And as a personal favor to the readers at ...
|
[quote user="el`Ol"] Some facts:The Japanese horn scene uses colored amps like 300B and prefers to buy Japanese amps.American horns are mostly slightly modified pro gear, quite a bit away from the price range Lamm has in mind, so the market there is ...
|
Jessie, this is a whole idea: do not get a signal into the ML2. It is NOT an operations sate but juts immediate testing. Do NOT short the ML2 input when preamp is connected to ML2 XLR inputs. By shorting the amp’s inputs you hear the inner-noise of t...
|
[quote user="Paul S"] With the Wright amps the G2Si did not seem to live up to their efficiency specs using my little cap and coil crossover. I can't offer good descriptions of their sound with the ML2s until I get my TT going, but ...
|
Sorry for being too brief in my post. The reason for my question on ml2/grand slam - many years back I heard the grand slamm driven by a pair of lamm amp. I did not pay attention to the model back then but it was either the single ended ml2 or the ...
|
Be careful with those 5751. ML2 became unstable with 6db more or less (I do not remember already) global feedback. Lamm told me a long and big story how critical for ML2 to have the global feedback of exact amount and how “properly” the feedback is i...
|
[quote user="guy sergeant"] I have heard Lamm ML2's in a couple of different people's home systems. Did they know how to use them properly? Well either they didn't (quite possible) or the amplifiers simply lacked the virtues I would prefer. [/quote]
...
|
[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...
|
Paul, there is a number of inaccuracies in your post.
[quote user="Paul S"]Lots has been written already about tube replacement, but I want to mention my recent experience when replacing the 6C33C output tubes (V2). I had the previous tubes in...
|
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...

Go today two emails from the site readers with two links to the CES comments.
First one is from Jeffrey Jackson who looks like was recruited by Joe the Uninvolved Archeologist with the room:

[quote user="Paul S"]So, does anyone know anything about "good" sockets for the ML-2s? I forget when and where I saw some sort of boutique Teflon jobbies that are pretty darned expensive. Maybe DIY Hi-Fi, in Hong Kong? Also, although Teflon is a ...
|
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I should mention that with all the wonderful things it does, the L2 (preamp) definitely deserves a fresh pair of 12AX3s and a 6C19P. (I have not changed them since starting work on the horns... all tubes are exactly one ye...
|
Wojtek, since you have invoked me by name, I will respond directly to associated remarks, while Greg and Romy have answered to other points as well as I might have done.I believe I have mentioned that I have been at hi-fi fairly seriou...
|
Actually I was wondering what the hell you were talking about what you were bitching that the ML2 socket can not handle 6N6P first. Ether you changed over 10.000 tubes in there or something else was wrong because the ML2 sockets are fine (except the ...
|
It does not sound right to me. If I am not mistaken then it has 2 X2uF caps. What 10uF coupling cap can do there and what 1000V cap does in ML2. The 1000V cap is almost $6 more expensive – Lamm would kill himself but would never allow such a waste of...
|
Your comment about reviews today is a simple Product Placement is spot on, I kind of even envy that I was not the one who said it. Regarding the rest. It will be VERY interesting if you heard the ML2.0. When I heard both multiple times between the ...
|
Thanks for the rejoinder, including the corrections and tips, Romy.I well remember Lamm saying that we should junk our ML2s now because the parts are "worn out". While that does not cause me to think he does not know what he is doing it natural...
|
So, finally, here is the answer to my speculative question, up at the top of the page. It certainly looks like Stereophile got the news quite a while ago, all right, in time to drop the ML2.1 from and incorporate the first public news of its dis...

Robert Harley made a review of Lamm ML2.2 with his Magico Q7 loudspeaker of 94dB sensitivity.
http://www.lammindustries.com/reviews/ML22%20TAS%20February%202013.pdf
He feels that “Q7 allows to hear ML2.2 at it’s best”, and the fac...

Gordan, I think you are missing the accent of what I meant to say. The Class A or not is not important for compression drivers and the S3 in particularly. I mean it is important and it much be ONLY class A but I do not see any SS amps switching in cl...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It did not last long….
Just a couple days back I was thinking that I will live with my current lower bass for a while and now I feel that I will not. I do not feel that my current ULF is wrong. In fact I feel that ...
|
Yes, the GM70 is very much unknown to most of us, especially in its "pushed"/HV version, and it is not likely to be properly explored by the average DIYer, either. Lamm did choose to use some of the driving ideas from his proven SET amp, but it ...
|
Brad, I heard a KR years ago, only remember it was not the typical "no-feedback sound", which I think of as clear but flaccid and no push. I agree that "feedback" can eventually ruin bass, and more, as I mentioned earlier in connectio...

The AI is generally a bogus term, purely marketing term. AI is a term from the same family as the term “synergy”. I do not like AI and I usually use “behavioral patterns”. The behavioral patterns are specific and defined; they are not a generic BS th...

[quote user="Paul S"]Yes, Bud, I agree that the most common problem for the full-tilt regenerators is that they begin to exhibit various problems in direct proportion to current demands. And this seems to be true even when they are used "below capac...
|
Well, have a good time, Stitch. Generally as far as I know Lamm equipment not modified a lot. When I own Lamms I make some minor changes that were not modifications but rather accommodations to the needs of my particular playback.
I would say that ...
|
Stitch, even though you are not wrong what you say but I do
not think it has a direct relation to what I call the "worse". My angle
was different: the demise of SET concept if the amp increases some rational cost
level. The cost of LAMM electronic...

People, keep asking me about the sound of Melquíades and I feel strange as I really can’t not explain how it sounds. It does not make any sense as I initiated this thread with the objective to explain or at least to inform about the Melquíades’ sound...
