Paul, another my spin a little off the subject but since it has to do with your current dealing with ML2 I would express it here.
Since you use some tube gear then why you agree to be a slave of random circumstances? Tubes have problems – they go o...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Here is the link:http://www.rank-concept.deI have no experience with the Lamm ML-series, I just listened to an M-series hybrid amp combined with the Watt/Puppy 8. This performance was a single fake (though a pleasant one). I can´t...

Yes, it is the yucky place where words get in the way of ideas. I did not use “mastership” in term of skills or cra...

Being both fairly lazy and fairly cheap with respect to audio, I remain very interested in theFR SET/dynamic speaker dream. Also, I am generally both weary and wary of the extreme complexity/difficulty engendered/entailed by othe...

And I do not mean this as a criticism.I had for some time an "original" Music Reference RM9, which was made by another well-educated genius, Roger Modjeski. The RM9 was AB PP with adjustable bias and feedback/gain, with 6DJ8 drivers and a ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, you would probably know this: I would be interested to know if the ML2's 6AK5 tube is in any way related to feedback in the ML2, because I would guess that it is. If not, then, I'm wrong (again).[/quote]
Paul, ...

Antonio,
Do not anticipate the “Secret Melquiades” - it does not exist in a way that you might expect it. The real secret of Melquiades is buried in real respect, real love and real understanding of the result and spending some targeted effort...

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 for only about 1 year; in this case I estimate about 300 hours, althou...

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...

[quote user="Paul S"]Greg, I have written about my "DEBZ" speakers several times at this site, [/quote]D. Olsher's Basszilla -- of course! Sorry, Paul, I forgot.[quote user="Paul S"]If I were to do the DEBZ concept right now, I would tune the BR...

Actually, Romy, it is simply that the tubes that came with the amp were not "good" in the sense that they were not doing their jobs. Period. You may remember the pulses through the speakers and how new input tubes cured the problem? ...

Romy,
I believe that congratulations are in order for the
great threads on Audiogon sewer; the Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes and Wavac 805 vs Lamm ML2.1.
I for one appreciate your input and sense of humor. YOU ROCK!
Take care, Tommy...

Romy and Paul,Thank you for your help and comments. I decided to move the amp on the floor and on its side so as to be able to monitor it during operation. As it had worked for 10 minutes after replacing the fuse, I was confident nothing sh...

Ken,
Lamm ML1 is always was a mystery for me. ML1 is very far from ML2 performance-wise. From what I understand the ML1 is basically is M1.1 modification with tubes output. I have seen a few times when ML1 performed better then M1.1 and at the same ...

Jessie, I hope you do not mind that I pulled it to the forum explicitly dedicated to the Melquiades Support.
5-channels Melquiades is ...

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...

It took some work, but I finally got a new phono stage (K&K) and a Bent TAP (transformer-based volume control) installed, along with some new cartridge clips (ugh!), and I put the "new system" through its paces Saturday and Sunday. I a...

OK, back up on the diode horse again...I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but I tried the "super quiet" Stealth diodes only out of curiosity, based on a very soft "recommendation" from Jeff at SonicCraft, and I did not throw away the Schottky...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I have not heard any other systems using Vitavox S2 drivers, but I know it is possible to get the S2 to generate on-axis unpleasentries. In the case of the system I am building, one can happily sit straight in the firing ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Today I used the re-capped/improved K&K phonostage as a source and I drove the speakers first from 8 Ohm and then from 16 Ohm taps, and I got a very pleasant surprize...... .It certainly gave a clue as to why Romy would opt a...

[quote user="Merlin"]No. You are wrong. Harmonically, my SET is quite superb using either 300b or 811 I have unfettered access to the music in it's entirety. Transformer cores just distort the signal. [/quote]
Well, I do not want to argue the ...

[quote user="Gregm"] Just a thought: sound reproduction, which includes main & harmonics, is what... sound reproduction is all about. The idea of performing reproduction in a consistent or with "structural integrity" manner is welcome -- bu...

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 ...

Of course this is basically propaganda. Who argues otherwise? However, I have found that it is possible at times to glean a modicum of useful information from "reviews" like this via a careful reading of what is said and somtimes via...

One of the greatest and the most important things for me in power amplifiers is their ability to differentiate tones. When you listen live music you practically never hear two identical tones. Even two identical pitches presented after the diff...

It is completely irrelevant how frequently an amp switched off and on if a soft start is made properly. A few years ago my friend and I, having the 6C33C based Lamms ML2 (where I do not like how the soft was working) , noted that we both change the o...

I was thinking about the subject for a long time. People in audio love to make generalization, so do I, but in it is not so simple. People attribute to output tubes some “special” qualities but I more interested not about unnecessary drooling about A...

Pall, stop to talk about VTA when you are talking about amplifiers and stop talk about VTA when you are talking about electricity. Sorry, it sounds juts insane. VTA is a subject of interaction between a records and cartridge; it is not the subjec...

Jessie, since I got my amps I have followed Romy's suggestion and recycled swapped-out V2s into V1 service. As it happens, I do not run V2s (or V1s) over a year, but I have had no problems of any kind that I can relate to following the annual V2-to-V...
