| Has anyone heard the lamm 2.2 hybrid amplifier My friend has the M2.2s, and they sound great! He uses the M2.2s (220 wpc BTW), with his Avalon Eidolons, which are a bit more difficult to drive than your WP7s, as I remember. They have very, very good bass response, without being boomy at all.

| The Nitty Gritty Record Cleaner?? I too use the NG and it works great for me to, and has for the past 3 years or so.(Although to be honest, I prefer to clean my vinyl first with my DD brushes, and just vacuum the records dry with the NG, as opposed to letting the machine both clea... | |
| tube amp for revel salon ? While I don't have the Salons, I do have the Studios, which are, obviously, very similar. I use the Lamm M2.1 monoblocks, which is a hybrid amplifier with one 6922 tube per side.I think these amps will give you all that you are looking for. They h... | |
| Cart for Basis Debut/Graham? A couple of opinions I would like to make.One, you were the lucky guy who just snagged that off Audiogon, huh?! (Great price.)Two, it appears to me, that you are running a very, very good turntable, with a very good tone arm, and yet you are using... | |
| Lamm 2.1 amps To which lamm 2.1 amplifiers are you referring to?The M2.1, which is the 200 wpc, hybrid monoblock amplifier? (FYI, which has been superceded by the M2.2)Or,The ML2.1, which is the 18 wpc SET tube monoblock amplifier?It appears that you are referr... | |
| "White noise hiss" through speakers. It may not be your MF power amp, (although it might be, as higher powered amps can have a bit of low level noise).I suspect it is the Belles preamp, as it is a vacuum tube preamp. I believe you are hearing what is referred to as "tube rushing". It... | |
| Revel Tweet Break-in after repairs "I guess it serves me right for supporting such a bad format".Wrong! I serves you right for listening to such a crappy singer.PS Yes, it will take a few weeks to get the tweeter to break in and sound good, and probably a few months until it sounds... | |
| from solid state to tube Well, I have done (almost) exactly what you said, and have only just backed off it just a bit recently. (Except I have not gone the SET amplification - high efficiency speaker route. I did it my way, to quote ole' Blue Eyes!)I used to run all tube... | |
| What Was Thrown Off the Tallahatchie Bridge? Actually it was Hillary Clinton and she was throwing old slick Willy off the bridge for "not having sexual relations" with (insert name of whichever young impressionable girl) he seduced this week! | |
| Best value table/arm/cart combo? I wrote this in response to another thread awhile back, so I cut and pasted it here for you to use as well. (I checked your system, and I could not determine if you have a preamp. If you don't have one, you will probably need one, and either have ... | |
| Spend my $8,000 pt. 2 Too bad the Ayre K-1XE is over your budget, because the phono cards are quite good. Very detailed and yet musical. It also has a very, very black background, which is the thing I love most about it. (I much prefer it to my old ARC PH-3 phono stage... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond and Tenor Audio OTL How about a Lamm M2.2?My friend uses the M2.2s with his regular Eidolon speakers, and it is a magic combination, IMHO.It has a firm control of the bass, so that it is taut, quick and yet has finesse. The treble has decay the likes of which I have ... | |
| Best cable recommendations - help Nrchy,How can you expect us to help you, unless you tell us whether you are listening to side A or B?!Give us the proper information in order to make an intelligent suggestion! | |
| Analog newbee looking for advice Hey Dburdick!As a fellow Resolution Audio afficionado, (I own the Resolution Audio Opus 21, btw), and a fairly recent returnee to the land of vinyl, (about 3 years ago now), I can offer you my opinions.First, the Opus 21 is a great cdp. (Although,... | |
| Does soundproofing improve or harm sound? If you play your music loud, and you feel that soundproffing the room would keep your music from disurbing the rest of the household, go for it. (I only wish that I had that option!) I don't think it will affect the sound quality (to a large exten... |
