Here is a brief description from their website: The LL2.1 features a topology that brings out the most natural sound performance in the audio path, as well as graceful and sophisticated design. It employs a pure class A operation from input to output; all stages are single-ended. The preamplifier's audibly neutral power supply features a full-wave vacuum rectifier. This rectifier, together with a choke-containing filter, allows to practically get rid of the hum and buzz and, in the end, to ensure the verity of dynamic range without coloration. Each preamplifier is carefully hand-crafted with matched components of the highest quality, some of which include military graded low noise DALE metal film resistors; NOBLE potentiometers; ELECTROCUBE and ROEDERSTEIN film capacitors; high frequency switching grade CORNELL DUBILIER electrolytic capacitors; and specially selected long life vacuum tubes. The LL2.1 features a custom-designed power transformer. Of course any description can be colorful and make a product "sound good" on the pages of the magazine or website but I can vouch for this Lamm preamp, it is a KILLER preamp for the money. The fact that I can switch from the awesome Ayre KX-R at many times the price to the Lamm and enjoy both almost equally says a lot about the Lamm. The reviews from others confirm the same thing, it is an excellent preamp. Last edited by PHC1; 06-29-2009 at 11:13 AM. |

Thanks Serge. You are always helpful.
One thing is however sure to me : only one volume button and playing with the (remotable on C1000) balance is easier to set. Jean-Marc. |

I enjoy the remote of the Ayre KX-R but I also don't mind the lack of it with the Lamm too much either.

Hello Serge.
You might recall me bugging you time and again at another forum about your adventures with the MC275, sub and Bryston x/o, MDA, etc, etc. Congrats on your very significant system upgrades! Here's another one: Have you ever heard the LL2 with the MC275? I'm considering the LL2 but cannot audition prior to purchasing...everything I read about the LL2 is sooo appealing to me, though... Thanks! Horacio |

I can't wait to sample the Lamm L2 in my system. I just can't

Lamm preamps always seem to remind me of the Battlestar Galactica. Sort of military, retro-future styling. Or something.

I think you are right. Oh, but the sound...

I use my remote all the time, as there is always a track on a LP that needs to be turned up |

Since my catalog of music is all digital, I wouldn't necessarily need a remote to operate the preamp. I can control 99% of the system via my laptop, iPhone or iPad. I most certainly understand why you'd need a remote.
