"Classics seem to age well and the M1.2 Reference is a case in point. It's been my pleasure to rediscover its considerable musicality over the past couple of years with several new speaker loads. From a practical standpoint, it's a breeze to integrate into a system, as it combines large peak-current delivery and low output impedance for minimal load interaction. Bass control and pitch definition are exceptional, but it goes well beyond traditional solid-state virtues. Its sonic character is warmer and more liquid, approaching the harmonic textures of live music. Because it refuses to editorialize, it is readily influenced by the sound of front-end components. Harmonic colors reproduced with convincing fidelity, including sporano voice and violin. Impressive also are its transient speed of attack and sublime control of transient decay, which account for its capacity to dig deep into a recording's noise floor to elucidate reverberant information. This is a superbly engineered real-world product that is a pleasure to use.  Its siren song of suave harmonic textures, right bass control, articulate transients, kinetic drive and essential tonal neutrality is musically most persuasive.  I find its performance-level clearly worthy of the Reference appellation.  A sonic masterpiece!"

M1.2 Reference, page 52

"Another winner from the fertile mind of Vladimir Lamm. Combining brawn and finesse, the M1.2 drives even challenging loads with ease. Its siren song of suave harmonic textures, tight bass control, articulate transients, kinetic drive, and essential tonal neutrality is musically most persuasive. And there's enough tube magic under the hood to infuse the midrange with invigorating warmth and spaciousness."

LL2.1, page 66

"This all-tube linestage preamp (with tube rectification) captures 80% of price-no-object preamps for a fraction of their cost, said our reviewer DO. Never in-your-face analytical, the LL2.1 frames details organically within the fabric of the music. Treble, bass, and transparency can be improved by using the right after-market tubes."

LP2, page 72

"With a superb built-in coupling transformer to handle lower-output moving coils, the all-tube Lamm LP2 phonostage has the inestimable advantage of being dead quiet, which makes it ideal for folks like JV, who live in RF Valley. Though not as "alive" or bloomy as the Aesthetix Io or ARC PH7 on large-scale dynamics, the Lamn is rich, beautiful, and extraordinarily delicate-sounding on all music, with superior detail and transient response."
