Vladimir Lamm: Theory and Practice
The
fact that we've succeeded in talking
Vladimir and elina Lamm couple is a
great honor granted that the company
has taken national distinctions for all
of their products as well as the fact
that all audiophiles have accepted the
products
with enthusiasm and respect.
The
secret behind the giant success of the
company is the intensive research and
development. Mr. Lamm had invested
more than twelve years in
intensive research studying in depth the
mechanism of the human hearing.
The result is that
every one of his products is
unique in its category. What is
very impressive about Lamm products is
that the sound result
is totally predictable from the
onset of design process.
therefore, neither listening tests nor
tweaking takes place at any
point of production, and the
company doesn't follow the
"trial-and-error" method.
The
most commercially successful product of
Lamm's is their tube amplifier ML2 which
had recently been replaced by
the upgraded version ML2.1, and
the second best selling product is their
M1.1 amplifier which had recently been
replaced
with the M1.2 Reference.
As
for the future, in 6-9 months the
company will introduce the new model ML2
-- two 32W single-ended monoblocks with
separate power supplies. A bit
later the LP1 phono stage with a
separate power supply will follow (it
will support only MC cartridges).
