Does Lamm L1 sounds as sweet as Lamm LL2 ???

Monsieur Steve,

Don't know if you live in Paris, but I do, and would be happy to let you listen to an L1 in my system if that might help you.

Also, I will most likely upgrade to the Lamm L2 Ref some time soon, so if your deal falls through on the other L1, fear not, mine will become available.

My system for the moment is as follows :

Sources :
Electrocompaniet EMC 1 UP CDP
Wavelength Audio Cosecant USB DAC + Mac portable computer
Sansui TU9900 (Modded) Tuner

Pre amp :
Lamm L1

Power amps :
Lamm M1.1 monoblocks

Speakers :
Verity Audio Parsifal Encore

Interconnects and speaker cables :
Cardas Golden Reference

Power cables :
Shunyata King Cobras for saurces and Pre, PS Audio Lab for power amps

AC Power :
Dedicated line to PS Audio P1200 (powers everything) set to 117 volts/60 hz

Room :
4m X 7m X 2.5m / Diffuser panels where necessary

Good one. I always loved that line. I guess you live in the right city to pay homage. ;-)

T7279mw - I have had the very same problem. I solved it by ordering sound proof windows. It costed me $2500, but it was by far the best mod ever.

Elberoth2,

Thanks for the advice ::: Actually the place already has double glass (with about 3/8th inch air gap), but I'm now considering adding yet another, really thick layer... if that doesn't do it, I suppose the next step is to just go ahead and board the place up!

T7279mw,

Double glassing and sound proofing are two different things. Sound proof glass is constructed from several layers of glass, glued together (like car windshild).
