Lamm Industries

Vladimir Lamm reprised his room from last year, spotlighting how his low-powered SET amplification could drive the Wilson Audio Maxx3 loudspeakers to thoroughly realistic sound levels. The Lamm compliment included the LL1 Signature line level preamplifier ($42,790) and ML3 Signature monoblocks ($139,490/pair).

Vladimir introduced his brand new LP1 Signature phono stage ($32,790), a three box affair comprised of separate mono power supplies and a single box holding the dual mono gain stages. It was demonstrated with a Kronos turntable ($32,000) with Graham Phantom II Supreme 12-inch tonearm ($6000) and ZYX UNIverse II cartridge ($8495).

Also introduced was the French company Neodio’s new Origine CD player ($27,000).

In the next room, Vladamir again bi-amped a pair of Verity Lohengrin II S loudspeakers ($120,000) with two pairs of his ML2.2 monoblocks ($37,290/pair). The front end was a L2 Reference preamplifier ($15,790).

There was quite a bit of interest in the new TechDAS Air Force One turntable ($79,500) outfitted with a Graham Phantom Elite 12-inch tonearm ($8500) and ZYX Omega cartridge ($4995). The Lamm LP2 Deluxe phono preamplifier ($7590) was used.

TechDAS also showed off its digital prowess with its D-7i 192/24 DAC ($7600).
