Audio Research Reference 2 vs. Lamm LL


Hi,

I don't seem to be able to find anyone comparing these 2 preamplifiers. Does anyone know how they differ? May as well throw the CAT SL1 in there too.

Thanks...

Actually, it can be found for under $500.00. Right now the entire placette passive preamp is on ebay for $600.00
Kensetsu, have you tried a well-kept vintage McIntosh C-22 preamp? I've heard they are wonderful. The re-issued C-22, Mac's 60th Anniversary edition is garnering raves from current owners.

I also own a Lamm LL@ and tend to agree with all that has been commented here - it is a very musical unit, very dynamic and dead-quiet.
