Hiss at addition in system LAMM L2
Just for reference, I had the lamm pre in a system with Coincident Total Victory, Revel Studio and Verity Parsifal. There was some degree of small hissing with all but none really annoying except one combo: Coincicent TV with Antique Sound Labs 10... 
Hiss at addition in system LAMM L2
The pre will hiss no matter what you do. The hiss comes from the mosfets in the circuit and higher gain amps on more sensitive speakers will hiss more than others.You either live with it or sell it. For me, I chose to go a lower gain amp and it re... 
Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation
Between the RCA and Raytheon, I prefer the Raytheon. It is just slightly more natural in its presentation. The difference is small. 
Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation
The thing is there is swapping signal tubes and swapping power supply tubes. The LL2 is a tubed pre with a tubed signal path. The L1 and L2 are solid state with tubed power supplies. So in a well designed circuit, there is less of a difference wit... 
Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation
I have the L1 and the power supply has a similar tube complement, 12AX7, 6C19, 5651, but not 12AX3.I have found that there can be small changes with different 5651's. See what you can find and give it a try. 
Any new up & coming high end speaker lines?
Kurt, my setup is somewhat similar to yours and I had Revel Studios on loan for over a month and really liked most of what they did. But in the end sent them back to the dealer in favor of Verity Parsifal. These speakers really make music.Btw, the... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Shadorne, exactly what I suggested in Springbok's last thread. 
Kharma FE 3.2 - be careful, space crucial
Try this. Place your speakers 7.5 to 8 feet from the rear wall and 4.5 to 5 feet from the side walls. Place your listening position about 8 feet from the speakers. At this position you may hear more of the speaker and less of the room. But bass wi... 
Coincident Total Reference = any thoughts
Total Reference, now discontinued had a ribbon tweeter, four midrange drivers and four 12" woofers and was 95 db efficient. The Pure Reference uses a ceramic tweeter, ceramic midrange and two 12" woofers. It is around 93 db eficient.Both use the s... 
Dynaudio Sapphire speaker
I heard the Sapphire at my local dealer (Alternative Audio in Dundas, Ontario) a few weeks ago. While it was by no means an extensive demo, it was one of the finest setups I have heard in their big room. Amp was the Sim Audio W8 Evolution and a VT... 
Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k
Three inputs on the Lamm. BalancedPin assignment: pin 1 = signal ground; pin 2 = non-inverting input (+); pin 3 = inverting input (-). Non-inverting Inverting The amp must use a shorting plug on the inverting input if not using XLR input.

Excellent product. No need to spend more on an outlet.

Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen
I'll chime on here with my experiences and mind you this was in a coupling position on my amp.I have had Auricap, Mundorf supreme, Mundorf Silver/oil, and Vcap. I have had hovlands and Cardas in other amps too but can't compare in this case.I hate... 
Stealth Metacarbon Cables: Anyone ever hear them.
I have a pair of MetaCarbons going from pre to amp in my system. The previous IC in that position was the Jade Audio Gold IC which I have commented on in another thread. I could substitute Stealth and Jade and my comments would still hold true. So...
