TAS (February 2012) -- ML2.2 review by Robert Harley.
The Absolute Sound gives the Editor Choice Award to the following Lamm products: LL2.1, LP2, M1.2 Reference, ML2.2, ML3 Signature (issue 231, March 2013).
December 2012
Lamm introduces a new product,
the LP1 Signature phono preamplifier.
The LP1 Signature has been designed to complement the ML3 amplifier and the LL1 preamplifier. It completes the Signature Series triad and, in combination with the other two Signature components, represents a "match made in heaven". However, the LP1 Signature will perform its magic in any system provided it is of sufficient quality.
Download the LP1 booklet here.
More images will be available shortly.
The LP1 Signature will be launched at CES'2013 in our exhibit suite 35-305.
 Please visit us at the Venetian Tower Hotel in Las Vegas.

M1.2 Reference amps in Class A for solid-state amps
"The 110W M1.2 with tube front end and MOSFET output stage, comprehensive short-circuit protection, and high/low impedance settings, offered 'unflinching honesty in conveying the true nature of the music that passed through it,' said Paul Bolin. 'Utterly continuous and coherent from top to bottom,' the M1.2 combined resolution and transparency with harmonic completeness, timbral richness, and glow. Jonathan Atkinson concurs. Compared to the Classe CT-M600 and MBL 9007, the Lamm had a more robust, less delicate sound, but nevertheless impressed JA with its three-dimensional soundstaging and midrange richness. 'This ia great amplifier,'JA decided. 'Highly recommended'."

LL2.1 preamp in Class A for two-channel preamps
"Line-level preamp with one 6X4, two 12AU7A, and two 6DJ8 tubes. Art Dudley was most impressed by the original version of the Lamm's ability to remain free from overhang and distortion while remaining true to the color, texture, and body of recorded material. He explained that, because of the LL2's speed -- 'the thing's ability to respond to a signal, amplify it with great faithfulness, then get the hell out of the way' -- it gave music more body, more feel, and especially more movement.' It seemed as if performances were actually taking place in the listening room rather than simply being retold. AD: 'Judged for its musicality, the quality of its parts and construction, and its sheer design ingenuity, the Lamm LL2 is worth every penny.' In response to requests for a lower-gain version of the LL2, Vladimir Lamm redesigned the preamplifier's circuit to incorporate 15dB of switchable attenuation. Compared to AD's reference Shindo Masseto, the LL2.1 sounded cleaner and more open, with a tendency to pull voices farther out from the mix and a better ability to unravel dense musical passages."

LP2 preamp in Class A for phono preamps/moving-coil step-up devices
"A 'super-quiet' dual-mono vacuum-tube phono stage featuring switchable moving-magnet and moving-coil inputs. Mike Fremer: 'Bass extension, control, and definition were startlingly good...Subtle dynamic scaling was on a par with the Boulder and notably superior to the Connoisseur...Subtle string textures, reeds, and female voices were positively thrilling, and the size and weight of the entire picture...was particularly impressive. Add that to snap-you-back-in-you-seat dynamics and authoritative decay, and the Lamm became one of a handful of the finest phono sections I've ever heard." Compared to the phono section of AD's Shindo Masseto, the Lamm LP2 Deluxe had a 'more neutral' sound, 'with instrumental and vocal timbres sounding clean and right -- yet not mechanical or overly dry."

The Absolute Sound gives the Golden Ear Award to ML2.2 power amplifier (issue 225, September 2012).
These 18W single-ended triode monoblocks are so magical (with a load-appropriate loudspeaker) that they made me question the paradigm of high-powered solid-state amplification. The directness of expression, the palpability of images, and the purity of timbres are simply sensational through the ML2.2. These amplifiers make it sound as though the musicians are speaking through time and space directly to you. It's an uncany quality that must be experienced to be appreciated. The ML2.2s achieve this level of sonics not through a euphonic or tubey sound, but by conveying the virtues of SET amplification without SET colorations. With the right loudspeaker (a big caveat), the ML2.2s don't sound like tubes, SET, solid-state, or any other technology. Rather, they sound like magic (Robert Harley, review in February 2012 issue).
