Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
"but once I got the correct input tube in place"I am curious as to which input tubes you switched to 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
I have the ML 2.1 and I can honestly say that of all of the amps I have ever owned none have been as musical as this amp. I toyed with the idea of the ML 1.1 only because I thought that more watts would drive my X-2 Alexandrias with more ease. How... 
Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions
" I have no immediate plans to test NOS 6550 tubes at this time"GuidoIMO there is absolutely no reason to do any tube rolling with this preamp 
Which Lamm should I add to the flock?
I have owned a lot of amps in over the past 33 years--most recently ARC Ref 600 Mk lll's at 600 wpc. I made an about face 6 months ago and sold them for Vladimir's ML 2.1 SET mono's at 18 wpc. I am using them to drive my Wilson X-2's. They do it w... 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
"In my experience it is common for a component to sound pretty good out of the box for the first few hours and then sound bad for quite a while, gradually improving until broken in. Guidocorona's experience demonstrates that, and I don't think it ... 
All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..
"Fmpnd--we are friends? Not sure that I know who you are"It only takes a night of being on call in the delivery room for my brain to be scattered. Of course I know you. Sorry to make both you and I look like geriatric people with Alzheimer's 
All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..
Alex lives very close to me and has offered to play his modded NWO-1 in my system. We just haven't been able to connect yet.I still maintain that for my ears and in my system I haven't heard anything come close to the Meitner gear. Just my opinion... 
All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..
I have owned every high end digital available in the market today and IMO there is simply none that even come close to the Meitner. It is THAT good...so good in fact that I see no reason to get back into vinylNil...if you want to hop on a plane an... 
What's under your amp?
Aurios Pro MIB lie between my amps and Zoethecus amp stands. 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
GuidoDon't be discouraged. The unit will just not sound good until at least 100 hours of use.The nice feature about the Ref 3 is that you push a button on the remote and it will tell you how many hours on the tubes. 
OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE
Not sure who Howard is or if you are referring to me 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
The interesting thing about every piece of ARC gear that I have ever owned is that out of the box it sounds absolutely terrific and then after a few hours it becomes very muddy until it has been broken in. I do believe all of my ARC gear (and I ha... 
THE Most MUSICAL Preamp?
ARC Ref 3 gets my vote 
What preamps equal to or better than CJ ACT II
Unquestionably the ARC Reference 3 
OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE
Indeed I am using the Lamm ML 2.1's with my X-2's. It is without question the best sound that my ears have ever heard.Amazing how 18 wpc can drive the X-2's and with plenty of head room to spare.
