Sound Application for power amps
I use Jim Weil's Line Stage for "everything" except my amps. IMO the Linestage is the best available in the market.Having said that however, amps should "always" be plugged directly into the wall and not into a line purifier.Even Jim Weil will tel... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
The only ones to play with on this amp is the 12AX7Have a look at this for the holy grail of 12AX7'shttp://www.tubedepot.com/pa-ecc803s-tele.html 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
"I have lots of headroom with these amps"It really never ceases to amaze me as to the amount of headroom on these amps. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
"If you have speakers with higher effeciency though the ML2's may be the best you can get."I absolutely agree. IMO these are hands down the finest amp I have ever owned. The mid range and high end for my ears is as good as it gets. I would be surp... 
Audioprism CD Blacklight mat?
Well I beg to differ about mats. If you want the ultimate tweak, this is IMO the only one to havehttp://www.marigolabs.comMarigo Labs Signature 3-D MatThe difference in sound stage is mind boggling. I recommend this over all other matsNot cheap at... 
ground loop HUM please help
The cheater plug will work just fine with no damage to your amp.I have a Krell MCX 750 driving my Wilson XS sub. A ground loop hum resulted which drove me crazy. I spoke to Patrick Bresnahan at Krell. His advice.....get a cheater plug. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
"Oneobgyn, have you ever heard the NHT system?"Indeed I haveNHT has there head office not too far from where I live. One of their chief engineers (Jack Hidley) lives in the same town as I do. Several months ago my audio club (Bay Area Audio Societ...

I suspect that your room may be too small for those Klipsch horns. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
JamesI was trying to suggest a very good and most inexpensive all in one digital system for a smaller room that you have.You are correct...this leaves the Lamm amp out of the equation but you can buy this NHT system for less money than the Lamm amps. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
I shudder when I make this other suggestion but to consider an all digital set up such as NHT XD2 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
I do like the Vac and it was on my short list when I was looking to change amps but even though it is very good, I just would not trade my Lamm for the Vac. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
"Have any of you guys rolled the 6N6P=E182CC with a bendix 6900, or other 6119/5687 variant?"I haven't.Everyone I have talked to who are knowledgeable in tubes seem to think that the only tube to benefit is the 12AX7 as it is the first tube seen b... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
"I am SO smitten by the magic of this amp(not necessarily a Kharma speaker,btw,though they are fine,even with the almost absurd overpricing),that I will most likely be HAPPY to give up all the stunning dynamic inpact,and bass depth(not to mention ... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
The JL-2 is a completely different beast than the Lamm. My very close friend has JL-2's. I have heard them and find them excellent but in a different sort of way than the ML 2.1.I would compare the JL-2 to my last amp--Audio Research Reference 600... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
InterestingI just bought circa 1965 NOS Telefunken ECC 83 rib plates and I was blown away as to how much better the ML 2.1 sounds as compared to the 12AX7 tubes supplied by Vladimir. Mine were Sylvania.I did research on the tubes and everyone reco...
