You would not have ‘limitations imposed by of a pair of SET amps such as the ML2s”. ML2 would do fine, juts make sure that it would be older ML2 before 2001-2002 production. You try the Melqs then, the parts are not a problem at all. Everything is ve...

I believe that the Arum Cantus is typical of most ribbons in mirroring one of the principal failings of MC cartridges, a rising top end (over 20k), although I have not actually heard this - at all - with my own small Arum Cantus, and I just go n...

Somewhere in 1997-88 I bought a hundred 6C33C. I believe during those years the where more expensive then now and I paid around $7-8 per tube. Over the years burning the 6C33C in pair of VK-60 (8 tubes), two pair of Lamm ML2 (ML2), ML2 with Melquiade...

I find that all SET amps slightly electrify the sound of acoustic instruments. For example, an acoustic guitar will sound kind of like an electric guitar that is being played through a clean sounding guitar tube amp. Also very common...

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 tho...

[quote user="Paul S"]To be clear, I do NOT recommend anyone else leaving any 6C33C in 50+ Watt boost position this long….[/quote] To be clear, I have ML2 with 6C33C in 50+ Watt and the amps were running some for days without shutting down – not probl...

Paul, you might want to take a look at the parallel GM-70 amps here:http://www.sacthailand.com/You can get 5 of them for the price of a used ML2, and, well, it is a high power SET....

[quote user="Paul S"]A year (and a pair of V2s) goes by like nothing.I just changed V2 tubes again, and this time I dialed the current way down before I fired up the amps, per instructions.After a few minutes, I checked the amps with a (Fluke 189) DM...

I suppose this further erodes my "credibility" regarding the "tube sockets" hysteria, but it is what it is, so here goes:Today I finally had the right combination of alone time and motivation (not to mention great electricity) and I got around to swa...

I had no chance to listen to his latest Designs (I know his L2R, LL2 preamps and the ML2.1..) but probably he wanted to realize his latest ideas (who knows) or he realized that in some parts of the world his existing units are simply too cheap compar...

[quote user="decoud"]I suppose at least you can give him credit for reversing the switch from electrocube 935s back to your favourite 950s....[/quote]Nope, I do not see any reason to extend any credit in there. I have no idea where those caps are ins...

I do not think that Lamm uses input capacitor, come on, this is not am amp from Radio Shack! Anyhow, I would not use input capacitor under any circumstances, would it be for filtration or for any other reasons. Yes, ML2 used global feedback....

Well, I can't support the statement, that these sockets are bad.I changed 2,5 years ago to Teflon sockets, use my ML2.1 a few times a week, on weekends it is running the whole day...and never have/had any problems.Maybe there are different Qualities ...

I defy anyone to "hear" the relays in my TVC/attenuator. In any case, who wants to get up to change volume, or balance, or phase, or to mute the system? Does anyone remember that Lamm started out by offering VR meters on his amp, but he deleted them ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Now, how does it sound and what you drive with
it?[/quote]I own or have owned a number of amplifiers with valves before this, Pathos Twin Towers, Audion, Audio Note, Jadis etc. One of my friends who has the same Avantgarde...

What I hate usually and in audio in particularly is the situation when a professional know that s/he is able to deliver a satisfactory resale and s/he subordinate and enslave everything to this believe. Pretend you are have a house with a single ...

Again, I do not agree with all notion of Rubber sound that Haralanov seeded. I can not speak what was in the situation that “be” described and 400Hz crossover. I do have the 8” version of 25W driver (I think it is 21W) and my feeling that it sou...

Dear Romy,
Thank you for the commentary and the advice with regards to the need to have a COGNITIVE ORDER OF SUCCESSION and to test with another speaker in situ first.
Given the varying degrees of how different individuals process COGNITI...

I have written before that Dima is at the finish line with his new power treatment invention.

BTW, Dima’s regenerator has a new name Avicenna Power Device and it is how it will be refered in future...

.. and therefore I do not know how serious to take you.As far as I know as now there are no people who have built Melquiades. I know that up to now about 5 attempts to do it but no one finished it yet up to the point that might report result. Dima is...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I have not drawn any conclusions about how this amplifier might sound. I cannot imagine how the input stage you use will behave and how that will impact on what the 6C33 does. As I've said previously the Lamm amplifiers us...

I have posted about some of my recent experience with longer "naked" HF ribbons in Romy's "Water Drop" thread. Here are some observations that relate these drivers back to the ML2s, along with some other recent ML2 trivia.My speakers are listed...

Paul I slightly surprised about your comments. The regulating aerial amplifier tube affected sound very mildly, if ever, at least it was my experience. I had a few different 6AK5 but changing them was not a highly notable effect. I still have left a ...

[quote user="Paul S"] I heard back from Lamms about the relay pulses. They suggested I bias the amps again and then Lamms went silent when that didn't work. But the problem disappeared when I got around to replacing the 12AX7s that came w...

[quote user="Paul S"] If Lamm had actually used the larger 950s in my unit I would probably be less curious about it, but for mine he used 10uF 935 couplers with small 950s for bypass (... I assume they are bypass caps...). Hard to imagine 10 uF ...
