lamm ml 2.1 amplifier art audio px25 amplifier
The Lamm ML 2.1 uses the russian tube, the 6C33. This has been popular with bat and joule electra and others. I think the tube has a dark sonic signature. The PX 25 sound is warmer and less mechanical with more spacious sound. You might also consi... 
Joule phono stage/ Enough gain for .2mv cartridge
I think you would be very happy with the Art Audio Reference Phono stage. Joe Fratus can make you a custom one at no up charge that would work well. A really fine unit.I have used the older LAP-150 with a Dynavector low output cartridge, but it ha... 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Regarding classical performers. It seems like those recordings are not recorded the same way, with as much care, with a good mic. I don't listen to much classical for that reason. 
Whic CD player would you pick and why
I don't believe my suggestion to "take a look at the Audio Aero Capitol" is marginalized by the fact that I carry the line. I never suggested he call me and buy one from me and until Audiopil mentioned it I am not sure anyone would have known that...

Yes it would. 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Is Antony the guy who sang on the Leonard Cohen Tribute Movie? If so he is great. Can see why someone listening might think he is a woman. By the way I had mentioned Rene Marie as my new favorite. Here is a youtube clip of her singing the Black Na... 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Right now it would be Rene Marie She has a new CD titled Experiment In Truth. Excellent recording of none audiophile music. In other words it is terrific. I believe you can download some free from her website. renemarie.com 
Just moved and have a smaller audio room 10.5 x 15
Should be a no brainer. Go with the Quads. You can always sell them for what you paid for them if you don't like them. Of course with the Quads you will probably end up looking at nice tube amplifiers to drive them. You know one thing leads to ano... 
Whic CD player would you pick and why
Well your speakers have great sound staging and great resolution. I would want to make sure your cd player has great imaging, both width and depth or front to back layering because that can really make magic. Not sure your price range but take a l... 
Less noise during intense listening sessions.
That same thing used to happen to me. The solution turned out to be Pinot Noir. I know it sounds crazy but after two glasses ( 12 oz not 8 oz preferred) I find that I am really relaxing into the music. Great upgrade as well for overall improvement... 
How to reproduce sound of piano
Johnathan Valin did a review of the Wilson benesch Torus Infrasonic Generator. It uses an 18" very stiff carbon fiber diaphragm that operates in push pull, much like an electrostatic. Very, very fast. Breath taking fast. Lots of patents at work he... 
will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio
The Wilson benesch Torus will do all the above. It wouldn't improve the clarity of your speakers, but will the lower bass. Not a lot of buzz on it, though JV at TAS did an in depth review, pretty expensive at 10K. Since I am a dealer for WB I am s... 
Favorite Speakers at RMAF
My favorite speakers at the RMAF were the Wilson benesch Curves in our room. The odds are they would not have sounded nearly as good without the excellent and modestly priced electronics we used. The new deHavilland prototypes 50A, a remake of the... 
High efficient speakers
GloryThe DeVore's are good. You might also look at the Reference 3A line of speakers. Seems like they are about 90+ db. Just as important they come alive with low power amps and they can really fill a room, even a large room. I used to be a dealer...
