So here’s what I am up against. 
I want / need that tube goodness in my sound but must also have that SS grip, bass control, transparency and image precision.


Have been looking and trying for the right amp and/or Pre combo mix.
SS alone doesn’t get me there - need that tubeness that only tubes can offer but I only want a little or just enough of that tube goodness.

What I also need just as much or even more is that SS transparency and their hold and tightness and precision. My speakers are not hard to drive but still tube amps are too loose - too wide and soft. Not enough specificity and SS is missing something as well. That natural, real closeness only tubes offer. I need the right blend. 
If I was to guess the sound would be say 83% SS and 17% tubes. Transparency, grip, precision and control is so important to me but then bathed in just the right amount of enough tubeness to just hit the nail right on the head. Yes it’s a tough and picky ask. 

The tube sounding SS gear Pass and Soulution doesn’t get me there. 
SS amps and Tube preamp have not got me there. Each time I tried a different combo I ended up liking my DAC direct over the tube preamp and that of course was not getting me. 
My speakers are pretty easy to drive Focal Sopra 2. I love these. They are bright, tight and raw. Their brightness needs to be tamed with a musical and warmish sounding source and warmish sounding sounding amp/Pre combo. 
My source is a Bricasti M1SE DAC / built in Roon End Point Ethernet Streamer and Preamp all in one. I love the Sopra 2 because they act like monitors with bass. They have the transparency and precision like a monitor. I liked better then Sopra 3 that is more like an excellent floorstander then imitating a monitor with bass. I like Sopra 2 better then my former Magico S5 MKII I had before also. I’ve learned over time what I like and what is most important to me. Extension, speed, transparency, image and sound precision and I don’t need all world bass slam but enough decent bass to do the music justice. Monitor can’t do this without subs but I also need coherence which is so important to the precision and transparency. That is why subs don’t work for me and Sopra 3 or S5 MKII didn’t work also. The Sopra 2 is a monitor lovers dream with monitor like everything but better dynamics and bass but I regress.  With all of this said I’m thinking maybe this LAMM M1.2 can pull off what I’m hoping for and if anyone has any info or similar situation would love some advise, feedback or comments. 
Thanks for the time and help !!!!!

The used lamm must be much cheaper than importing Ypsilon so try the lamm first imho and enjoy it and wait till ypsilon available in US if you not happy enuf with lamm.....dart is better imho but lamm lovely too why pay for new among these  choices
The Ypsilon is an used unit from an European sourced seller. The dilemma is uncertainty in regard to the actual cost of the international duty tax. He’s heard a  Ypsilon amplifier and loves its sound.

Hmm well better deal if used from Europe but sells here usa used recently  for $9500 and $12,000 if buy abroad and voltage issue and shipping cost more too....

Comparing lamm monoblocks to an integrated gotta think lamm will make you smile at least as much
Yes I was thinking strong about Lamm for sure. Surprisingly a few folks did not think they were all that great. My fear was not that they would not be great but different then what I want. 
I just want that middle of the road sound. Very transparent and airy but with tube goodness, warmth, 3D but with grip, drive control and precision. I feared the Lamm would offer much but not enough of the tubeness. 
The Ypsilon uses 3 stages. Input, driver and output. It uses the double triode tube wired in parallel the 6H30 tube for both the first and second stage via a discrete, active preamp. All of the voltage gain that feeds the SS output is provided via these tubes. 2 of three stages is pure triode, tubes but there is more. This pure class a, triode voltage gain then feeds 2 separate amps per channel. Each channel runs 2 pure class a, single ended amps and they run them bridged opposite of each other to create their version of a push pull set up. So it has 4 single ended amps for 2 push pull channels. It has 8 different discrete transformers. It’s volume attenuation is done via their special sauce which is their home spun transformers. It’s a pretty cool set up and what gives it such an airy, warm, transparent sound with grip and precision. I just love the sound. It has bite and it is bright and relaxed at the same time. It is not bright as in too much detail but it’s just everything is so dam transparent it feels bright but it does this while being relaxed. It’s best way I can describe anyways. I just have tried to find a similar sound via tube preamps and SS amps and just couldn’t get there. 

A Ypsilon for $9500 to $12000 in US would be amazing but it’s trying to find one that is the challenge. Former sales are all well and good as guides for future pricing but one needs to find one first. They are so much much more expensive new or as demos. 
I’ve committed to the Ypsilon. Still waiting for one last shot at acquiring one state side before needing to buy from Europe. I mean they all come from Europe because that is where they are made but I am holding out hope to source one from US mainly because just so hard to know what tariff or duty tax will be and shipping is scary too but atleast they come in nice wooden crates so that helps I guess. I will update you guys on where I get it and how it all comes out. You guys have been a great help to me. Sometimes others opinions when your not sure what to do can really help. Thanks
