Hey, Mike, you site’s login still works horribly….
Anyhow, thanks for the picture of ML3. I kidnapped them from you and added them to the thread in my site. I hope you do not object The $100 bill next to the amp look phenomenally!!!!.

I have two things that I would like to discover: why the hell you used 4 tubes in drives and the plate voltage of the GM70. He used serial 500V caps in PS that would do 1000V… so let presume 900V on plate. Could you ask Lamm hoe much it has on plate (I do not think it a big secret). Second, I would like to learn if those driver tubes are all paralleled or they in the composite follower: 2 at top and two at bottom. I have no idea why Lamm built up such a strong current drive (I presume he had no good driver) but if you make one or two more picture of the driver section form the different angles then everything will be reviled. If you do it for me then I in reimbursement will promise do not insult you for the next 3 month on my site.

Hi Romy,
Complain to WordPress. There is a forum there and maybe they will even fix it someday, since the newer version, which I have used as an ordinary citizen, did not impress me overly much either.
No, not a new camera. This is the same one I got right after CES last year. Maybe I learn how to use it a little bit better? You’d think after 15000 pictures something like improvement might result. But you never know – this is the decade of de-evolution.
The Lamms stop by here every so often so maybe they will feel like directly answering your questions and revealing what it seems to me like they should want to keep mum about as it would be a trade-secret. But Vladimir has always been very open about how he builds his amp – a credit to their design. And Simplicity is Beauty – otherwise we’d both be listening to disturbingly complex Boulder and Levinson – and MicroSoft would rule the world instead of Unix. hmmm… i guess Simplicity is *not* SUCCESS.
Oh, it has been a long day.
But I do have photos from different angles, which hopefully came out as well as the ones I posted (hard to tell on this active matrix laptop) which I will post in the final report. All you owe me for the pics is to give your kitty a nice scratching behind its little head.
As far as insulting me… you can insult me anytime, Romy. You actually care about things audio. I think about what you say, and even if I disagree, it keeps me on my toes – making sure I post and Neli describes to people over the phone as accurately and honestly as we are able, our vision of High-end Audio as it is, as we think it should be, and Listening, as we currently understand it.
The report should be up in less than a week after the show… although it now appears that another snowstorm will intercept our return home by our planned travel route. So, assuming we make it home, the report will be forthcoming soon after.
Take care,
The Audio Federation Guy. 🙂
Come on Mike, do not miss-present my question about the voltage in output stage as a bridge of wonna-be “trade-secret”! Also, you might eventually loose your virginity about “Vladimir has always been very open” – my experience and experience of quite a number other people is different – Lamm always was quite intestinally deceiving and misleading about his designs.
Anyhow, my interest to know what is going on is way further then a gloss of the advertising booklets to and flawed assurances. It is apparent that ML3 meant to operate with high grid currant on GM70 and it is an indication that this amp is switching into class A2 operation at it’s 32Watts. No one will tell you truth, and particularly Vladimir and that is why I would like to learn it myself.
There is something else out there, behind your desire to be friendly with anybody (even with me) and behind Lamm’s desire to tell about his products only what he wants people to hear. This something calls Truth and it is what I would like to get. I do not hide or play games and I posted my question openly on your and my forum. It has nothing to do with the trade secrets and it a few weeks it will be published on Lamm’s web site in the specification section and it the amps manual. So let do not create artificial fear and unnecessary motions.
Anyhow, if you feel that asking Lamm about the voltage would violate whatever you feel it might voltage then it is fine. When you go back, please send/post me more pictures of the amp’s back as I would like to fugue out what the follower Vladimir used in the driver stage (how the anodes are connected) – the fact that would indicate defiantly if the amp is switching into A2 class.
In the end. Let do not serve the agenda of a “manufacture” or the agenda of a “dealer” of the agenda of the truth seeking “consumer”. Let serve the interest of Sound. Sound does not obey the BS that we created with out minds and is suborned only the Truth. If you can afford and can handle the truth then you know how simple and hot powerful the liberation might be…
