When I read raves from low powered amps with such speaker designs I ask myself, is it product placement or is there a different kind of listening among Americans, Japanese, Europeans...?
I made a visit to an audiophile with Lamm LL1, ML3 and Wilson ...

I got a .pdf file with April Stereophile where Art Dudley writes up about new Lamm 2.2 amp. I am long off the Lamm camp but I do observe what is going on with Lamm equipment as I feel I do have a good grip about it.
I have no idea why Art Dud...

user="Mike"] Originally the speakers were to be the
Verity Audio – Montsalvat speakers.…The Monsalvat require 3 pairs of
amps. So Lamm sent ahead 3 pairs of ML2.2 amps to CES. [/quote]
Ok, Mike. From DSET
perspective it is a fooli...

What problems with the Johnson sockets are these trying to solve, again? Would they really be better overall than a lower mass design along with chassis through-holes, like the ML2, etc.? If a reader is using these, do they appear to better stabiliz...

Glad to hear you've found a short cut. Of course you don't want to run the Auras too high, but the IB should allow them go go higher than they might in a box, and it should also improve the transition to the bass. If you decide to go SET it might b...

OK, I'll go first, then. Congratulations on actually letting go, Romy. I'm still not exactly sure why you feel the need to make such abrupt, extensive changes, but I mean I'm not sure I understand everything you have just said about it, vs. not under...

Not to hijack the Dannoy (Dunnoy) thread...Yes, the It question is a Big One. I am now thinking of a sort of sonic Gestalt that I have experienced on several occasions, and that I currently ascribe to/associate with (perhaps mistakenly) specific equi...

I had two friends in NY City with Klangfilm Bionor who drove them with Lamm ML2.0. One of them had 405 footers and another had fool filed-coil version. I did not look into details and if I remember correctly the driver were in fabric cocoon but I do ...

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...

I bet Taiwanese got tired of getting paid cents on dollar (and usually late) for product they developed and manufactured. The real guilty character in this all affair is Romy the Cat and his rumblings . Without it Pure Power would be selling as it wa...

KOT, with the ML2s I found very little difference in the sound of various 6C33Cs, but the old Svetlanas certainly "held to spec" better (and longer..). I find the 6C33C to be more "direct" sounding than 845 or 211, but this in the context of a 3-sta...

Or: Buy a new hammer and - for a while, anyway - everywhere you look, there's something that calls for a hammer.The electricity today was shite (thanks, Smart Grid!), but I none the less enjoyed some of the music I played. While playing Brahms' PC2...

Skushino, from what you say I presume you use two pair of ML2, right? Yes, what you say is correct but if I were you then I would not introduce an addition caps to signal path. In my view the best scenario for high path would be to minimize the coupl...
|
|
Paul, I do not remember I had problems with 6AK5 sockets, and frankly I feel that your preoccupation with small socks of ML2 is a bit strange. If you “keep getting noise from the 12AX7/sockets, and this noise gets resolved when you clean the connect...

Thank you JD for all the information. It was most helpfull. I will get the amps in the original crates, the instructions manual anf a few sets replacement tubes. Do you know the physical size of the fuses?. Seems like I have to buy some. I have alrea...

One ironic thing about the ML2s is the contrast between the fantastic workmanship and the mostly average parts. Of course, the sockets are plain crappy, and I suffered plenty with them until I started using the dielectric grease. I have been too ...

It is also possible that I'm reacting to a lack of true dedicated mid-bass. As previously mentioned, while the pair of 40Hz horns are under constructon, I co...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]A possibly dumb question here: When you and Paul give figures in milliamperes, where are you measuring the current (at what points), or are you extrapolating the figure? [/quote] The 6C33C current is measured in mA. The wa...

N-set, at this point I am under impression (not conviction however) that a hybrid with some kind of harmonic correction circuit can do the job but spend much less blood. I have to admit that the best hybrids that I head had (Lamm M1.1) no where remot...

As I've mentioned elsewhere before, over the years I've gotten about 25% clinkers, among all tubes, from all sources, including "specially selected, graded and matched" tubes. Also, I have lived with the 6C33C enough to say it "drifts" in use, and i...

Today I had a chance to connect everything back together - I had been using a spare amp while the ML2 was out of service. After replacing the tube sockets, the problem amp's behavior is stable. Not sure if the cause of the problem was the loose pin...

[quote user="Cosmos"] Anyway, as the description on our site on second paragraph says, the third 6C33 located at the back, is used as the pass element of the regulator (controlled by solid state circuitry) providing 220V with 100uV of random noise &a...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] I would never just jump in and attempt to build the Melq (or any other amp) without months of studying the design … [/quote]
Good motivations. To simplify everything: the Melquiades was at attempt to make two stages, capac...

I got new 6C33Cs for V2s from Lamm because no one else wants to match them, let alone match them for gain; but the loud thump through the speaker still happens just when one amp self-switches from warming its filaments to full-throttle oper...

I certainly hope more people will get going on the different versions of the Melquiades amps so I can learn more about them. So far, this site is a crash course! I just hope everyone is paying attention when thye read here, over and over,...

It might be not directly related to the subject of this thread but I do feel that it has quite a good relatively. Are you laughing that your Lamm made his new amplifier with a price tag of $126K? Well, think again. Do you remember as the ...

It seems pretty clear that what we do not have here is the proverbial "all-out assult on the state of the art"? For one thing, this requires a dedicated system approach, and when was the last time you saw anyone do this?&nbs...

Deja vu: I seem to remember getting about this far on the subject any number of times. Not only do I have fairly limited applications, but I also noticed that many of the testers do not even allow the kind of testing I would want to ...
