Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
Oneobgyn, I will definitely have to try out some NOS in the 12AX7 position. 711smilin, your in for a treat when those amps arrive. If your Epiphany's are more effecient than the Reimers then it should sound great as I have lots of headroom with th... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
My ML2's showed up yesterday and work just fine with my 95db Reimer Tetons. I pretty much agree with Oneobgyn on these amps as they are really special. 711smilin I look foward to your feedback on the Epiphany's. I listened for several hours last n... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
I as well have some ML2's heading my way to potentially replace my ML1's. I feel my Reimer Teton speakers at 95db should be able to handle the lower powered ML2's. Davidri, I will post my comparative comments in a few weeks after I have them up an... 
AC vs DC motor?
The old battery had a VU meter. My current one has lights showing the level of charge. As far as use, I leave charging during the week and only unhook from charging when I play music. On weekends when I listen to more music I leave unhooked from t... 
AC vs DC motor?
I replaced the battery when I noticed that it was not taking on a full charge. The power was depleting rather quick after a charge. It was still working when I stopped using it but I decided to get a new one before it gave out completely. I bought... 
AC vs DC motor?
Rwd, I have the Redpoint/Galbier DC motor controller. Prior to that I had a VPI TT with SDS AC controller. The Galibier seems quieter to me with less motor vibration to deal with. My original battery lasted about 2 years and I purchased another fo... 
What preamp for Lamm M1.2 ?
I agree with Rcprince. I had the LL2 line stage and changed to the L2 linestage. The LL2 was very good with solid images and weight. It did have a slight emphasis on the bass making it sound on the warm side of neutral. In comparison the L2 is mor...

My motor pod does not have footers. I believe there are threaded holes that would allow you to attach a spike or footer if you choose. 
Teres, Galibier and Redpoint
The motor pod on my Redpoint/Galbier does not move during normal use. Mine is sitting on a flat surface without footers or spikes. It is fairly heavy so it does not move around unless of course you nudge up against it when cleaning etc. 
Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET
I have the Reimer Teton's and they are ported in the front which seems to make it easier to place near the rear wall. I am not currently using an SET with them but have thought about doing so. Rick Reimer says that they will work well with a littl... 
Which Lamm should I add to the flock?
It is my understanding that your speaker is 89db effecient and rated at 4 ohms. I would say that the ML2 at 18 watts would probably not be enough. The ML1.1 at 90wpc would probably be pretty good as long as the impedence curve is rather flat. If t...

Yes, I am using the Anvil which seems to work very well. I am not much on the idea of using an outer ring clamp to me it seems like it could be a disaster waiting to happen.

BTW, regarding the moveable armpod, I cannot really say if a moveable armpod sounds better or not. I do know that on my Redpoint there are set screws that allow you to position the armpod up against the base. Once it is aligned properly you can mo...

I am using a Schroeder Reference with a ZYX Universe cartrdige. The sound with the teflon platter was very good and thought it would be difficult to improve much. The graphite top platter really seems to make a difference in attack and dynamics wi...

I have an earlier version of the Redpoint Testa Rosa which I got when Thom and Peter were partners. I have recently upgraded to Galibier's newest platter which has brass and graphite rather than teflon. The brass and graphite is a huge improvement...
