Lamm LP2/2.1 vs Luxman EQ-500

I own an LP2 and have never heard the Lux. I took at look at it though and it’s very similar in some ways. Tube rectified, which is a must for me, low output level for MM so you can use a Decca cartridge if you want. But they are two different beasts in terms of control. The Lamm has none. That’s a problem for some but hasn’t been for me, both with my Decca Super Gold and a Denon DL103. They sound great at whatever the Lamm preset is (I think you can order what you want). I also own a Lamm preamp and I have been in this hobby for 30 years and I’ve never been happier nor more content. Hope this helps a bit in your decision making. There probably is no wrong choice. Oh and the Lamm will kill any Zesto. I’ve heard them both in the same system. No comparison.
