Well, the LP2.1D must be pretty well at it's best (as is my Etna) now.......it sounds excellent from cold switch on, needs about 45/60 minutes to get going .........but I really feel that after two hours is when it's at it's best - a warmed up cartridge helps as well naturally.Also after about a month I upgraded from LAMM ML 2s to Lamm ML 2.2s which also improved the drive and resolution of my system.It's certainly the best phono stage I have had at home, but then I haven't had many of late!
About three weeks ago we slipped it into a friend's system which is quite different to mine - solid state Ayre pre/monoblocks and an Audio Flyte phonostage/Lyra Atlas.......it was clear that both phonostages are excellent. It became apparent that (to me anyway) the LP2.1D needed a good warm up........we took it out after 90 minutes or so, which in retrospect was too early, but both units were excellent.I'm just getting on with enjoying my vinyl at the moment......
