Hi,

I am new to AA and and strongly considering an amp change from ARC 210s to the Lamm M1.2s to exploit the full capability of the Ref 40. Would love to hear other user experiences going from ARC 210s to the Lamm's. Or ARC 250s vs. the Lamm's. My 2 Ch system consists of the following:

ARC Ref. 40
ARC Ref Phono 2 SE
Oracle Delphi Mk V with a Triplanar arm and Van den Hul Frog
ARC DAC 3 MkII with Ayre D-1X as a transport
ARC REF 210 amps
Vandersteen 5A's
Granite Audio cabling and power cords

Thanks so much
Rob

Both my tube CDPs have a remote, variable output as well as digital inputs for other sources, also variable volume control.

For instance, dCS and Wadia recomment to set up theur volume at max when pre amp is in use. I also noticed that when volume is all the way up at my Puccini the sound is just much better in comparison to half way Puccini & half way at pre-amp

As the rookie to this forum, I greet you all. I'm hoping to take delivery on a set of Lamm M1.2s within the next two weeks. I can hardly contain my excitement, but I'm so ready to add them to my 2 channel system. My system is composed of: DCS Delius DCS Purcell ReQuest Media Server (housing 300 movies & 500 CDs in WAV format) Analysis Plus Silver Ovals (ICs & Spkr Cables) PBN Denali Mono Amps (Fully Differential Monos - 900W into 4 ohms) Wilson Watt/Puppy 8s in Mercedes Silver
