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 ...

[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...

[quote user="Paul S"]At this pointIi think it's fair to say that if you have ML2s with "reasonably efficient" speakers then you can safely just hew to whatever works best with the ML2s and toss the rest, because in that case "the rest" is not worth k...

Laurent,
The V2 in 6C33C does NOT need to be matched by other characteristic then gain and it is very easy to do. If you have two V2 tubes and they have different entry points for bias but the same gains then you will not detect any sonic cons...

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 ...

A few years back an editor of a “famous” audio publication asked me if I write for him. I explained to him that I have no interest to build my own audio clientele, that have no cronies manufacturers whose products I would like to promote, that I ...

I actually read the review carefully.
My initials sentiments were very accurate. Knowing the Vladimir’s reaction to those thighs I might presume that he also feels that this level of “intelligent writing about audio” is no more intellectu...

Hato, I do not what to caps on your little celebration, and to play with old Lamm 2.0 is a pure celebration, but I would like to pass two observations. The ML2.0 with Avantgarde Duo will work fine BUT will be a weak element. I do not want to critici...

OK, back to the meter on the Marantz: It actually reads +/- "exponentially", so "1/2 way" is more like 6 Watts, with the little spikes above "1/2" making it to 30 Watts. Not 300 Watts. This dispels the "mystery" of the ML2 playing the same stack at...

Thanks for the link, Romy. I'll check it out. Too bad there isn't more information about the ML2 available. A schemo with some values would be nice. Do you know if anyone has sorted it out yet?Steve Bench happens to live near ...

[quote user="Stitch"]Btw. I think the ML3 is a good sounding amp.[/quote] I do not think that the absolute quality of ML3 is a subject or a question. This quality is not known to people out there, very much like it is unknown to the most of ML3 owner...

[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]

I did find replacement tubes OK (online), just not locally, like I had hoped. I have now recieved, installed and tested all new tubes but the 6N6Ps, which have been delayed in St. Petersberg by Christmas mail jamb-up. ...

Yes, it all sounds good, and not such a price jump for all the ML3-based promise!If you read carefully, it just barely "disses" the earlier ML2 and ML2.1...Naturally, it's an "improvement", but they want to be sure previous clients feel perhaps like ...

[quote user="Paul S"]Some time ago Romy threw me a fish in the form of two numbers, 280 and 185, meaning mV and V, respectivly, and I finally got around to chowing down. I was getting annoyed with the sound this morning to the extent that I bus...

[quote user="Paul S"] Any ideas for sources for 6AK5 and 5651A? Seems like most of the ML2 tubes are "hard to find" from local sources. [/quote]
I do not know why you say it. Both 6AK5 and 5651 are very common and very inexpensive tubes. The 6...

Keep the driver stage, the 6N6P, as new as possible. This tube is very critical for the given amp. You might get a tube tester and measure the mutual conductance but with the low price of 6N6P I think it is hardly necessary. I would change it as ofte...

[quote user="Paul S"]Then, there is the ML2, which seems to take a +/- rigorous approach to dealing with consciousness/"expectations", whether acquired or basal, by somehow dishing out sound that has been "dealt with" in some sort of proprietary mann...

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...

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...

I tried the ML2s via their 16 Ohm taps, even though my speakers drop to 4R at about 80 Hz before going back up their average 8 Ohms at 30 Hz. The overall sound off the 16 Ohm taps was more balanced and integrated top top bottom, ...
|
|
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...

Regarding Mike's observations: Indeed, there might be more There there than he intended.He might have said anything at all, but he seemed to get stuck on the "micro-management" issue.Sound familiar?Who would be surprised if the ML3 turned out to...

[quote user="Paul S"] One ironic thing about the ML2s is the contrast between the fantastic workmanship and the mostly average parts. [/quote] Where did you see the “mostly average parts” in ML2, Paul, come on have some sanity and go over your craz...

I have stated several times that the ML2s are less sensitive to bad electricity than my phono stage, and this is true. However, this is not to say that the amps are immune to bad electricity. In fact, it is the effects of bad electricity ...

*** I too have thought a while about exactly this... there is something that troubles me deeply though about this approach. I have a theory that too small a cap may not work out as well as one might hope. Now, shall I do a Romy and delay revealing my...

[quote user="Paul S"] After a few minutes, I checked the amps with a (Fluke 189) DMM, just for drill. Voltage was set down to 175, but current was about 450 mA. Dialing down the pots, I could not get the current below 390 mA, even t...
