I have recently acquired a pair of (2000 vintage, I think) Lamm ML2s and would like to share impressions and development strategies with other ML2 owners, including former owners, and perhaps I may learn from any pertinent experience.

[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 ...

Sometimes ago I received an email from a NY guy that I know:
“I borrowed a friend's Sansui TU-X1 and just like I heard them at your place it sounds fantastic! What is it about this tuner? There is such an ease to the presentation and no distra...

It is sad that no one talks about it and it is very not clear what is going on. It looks like the companies that sell hi-res files feel that the phrase hi-res is automatically an assurance of some kind of “quietly”. Well, they most likely deal w...

Yes, Rulit does try to push envelop of something. He does exiting projects but I do not know how all of it manifests itself in actual results. I said that he pushes the “envelop of something” as I do not know what this “something” is. I never h...

New member, first post, so go easy on me!Ive been playing around with clocks in digital audio for a while. Current system uses a DCS Scarlatti stack with the Scarlatti clock. Synching to the Scarlatti clock rather than using the Scarlatti DAC as mast...

[quote user="Stitch"]Silbatone made a Demo with those Horns (the big ones)They said, it is one of three existing WE Horns, made 1935/36 (only mod is the addition of the tweeter you can see there). One Horn is made for 3500 Visitors, so we got a 7000 ...

Similar to the famous sexist tail that women can be only ether pretty or smart the midbass horns unfortunately behave in the very same way: they can be only nicely placed in a room or they can sound good. You want the horn to place in a specific ...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

My first impressions a about the “differences” of field-coiled derived form the time when I ran the Telefunkens war time drivers but at that time I had no reference how the same driver would act with permanent magnet. Also, the Telefunkens are the re...

[quote user="Antonio J."] But having some ideas of the sonic attributes that accomplish that "feeling" would be very helpful. So you couldn't help that someone listening to such a system wanted to build a clone of it. [/quote]I do not think it is pos...

I sometime try to address broad and purely abstractive audio issues, still without a big hope then it would be properly understood or properly interpreted by most of the readers, not to mention anyone else. An average audio person do not need a broad...

A few days back an audio guy from Mexico-city visited me from. We did listen some music, talk a bit about audio. As usually I interrogated him about the problem he hears in my sound. The people who were in my room know that I do it with absolutel...

My reference to air caps was purely a tongue-in-cheek reference to the voids in the coil. Of course the parasitic capacitance due to the propinquity of winding layers would dominate and here the dielectric is quite often Mylar.
It's just that the ...
