Lamm LP2.1 Deluxe

[KeithR]

I've always wanted a Lamm phono. Sigh.

Glad you love it, Christian.

 

[Bill Hart]

I don't know yet. Hopefully by week's end. The LP2.1 will be returned on Weds 6/22.

So, typically, his gear is air-freighted as I recall. You could have it courier delivered same day by arrangements through your dealer if the unit is already built and at Lamm HQ. It's what, a 5.5 hour drive for a courier? I doubt the cost of that would be that much greater than air-freight, but I'm speculating. There is something to be said for instant gratification, you know....

Freight on mine was approx $150 from Brooklyn to California. It took a week

Alright. So, there's a cost factor in instant gratification....

I am having 4 meter power supply umbilical's added so the power supplies can be located a good ways from the rest of the rack equipment (may add a day) as I don't have 3 empty shelves for the LP1 in my main racks. Vlad only ships air freight and only FedEx or DHL...no UPS. Weds is my first day I would be able to have time to set things up anyway.

 

[microstrip]

we shall see.......you will be smitten. I have listened to analog virtually 100% since I got my turntable and paired it with the LP1

Perhaps Vladimir Lamm will manufacture a DAC someday ...

 

[Steve Williams]

David uses the longer umbilicals. I didn't need them although I am having a new CMS rack design that will house all my gear including my RTR and I might use the longer ones if I separate the power supplies of the preamp and phono as David does

Never. I've asked him

 

[microstrip]

Never. I've asked him

Did he explain why?

 

[Gregadd]

As we age, it's good to get some exercise getting up to flip records and adjust volume. I feel sorry for the digi server guys. They never have to get up other than to eat and pee...not healthy, lol

...And to rest their ears. Smile

He doesn't need to.

 

[analog brother]

rockitman - wonderful decision and enjoy.

Thank you. It arrives by Thursday at the latest.

Thanks. I knew about his modeling studies of hearing and perception, but was not aware of any thoughts of V. Lamm concerning the analog/digital sound reprodcution.

 

[ddk]

I asked him many times for one and the answer was always the same, NEVER! His reasoning is that he can build a better output stage but can't do anything to improve the digital side.

Please let us know when you order the Lamm preamp and amps
And don't bother with that gotta pay a car bill this fall! We all know better.

 

[Ron Resnick]

Christian, I look forward to reading about the decision process by which you choose which Lamm amps to order!

Vlad won't even build a stereo amp.
