The reader who read my comments above about Lamm’s new ML3 amplifiers might have wrong impression where I’m coming from. I have a general tendency to be skeptical (because the experiences) when I exposed to audio but in case of ML3 there is much deep rational. The rational that I fill would be worth to express.

First thing first: I have heard already a number of different from different people comments about ML3 (of course no one heard it yet) and everyone bitch about the price tag of this amplifier. With all my luck of respect regarding what Vladimir does (after all of those unfortunate LP2, L2, ML2.1…) I have to admit that I find it PERFECTLY JUSTIFIABLE for Lamm to introduce an amplifier  with price tag of $126.000. I’m not been sarcastic – I really mean and this view of mine is very lucid and very cogent - in fact I am ready to advocate this point. I honestly wish Vladimir to have some traffic to move his ML3 out if his shop and if the Lamm’s ML-3 turned out to be financially successful for Lamm (and I do not see why not) then good for Vladimir.

However, besides recognition of Lamm as a manufacture, us as consumers, “them” as the dealers there is something else. If we make a presumption that this site dedicated to “advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techniques” then behind playing all that buying-selling ballet there is a super-task. This super-task is an attempt to learn what does work within an environment of maximum objective and maximum implementation capacity. From THAT prospective Lamm ML3 picked my interest as Vladimir’s statement on the subject.

I personally recognize that Lamm ML3 is NOT as serious implementation of an amplifier around GM70 – it is not McDonalds of course but it is more like an Italian resonant on the corner with the mils of $14.99… it is not bad but nothing dramatic – I eat there dally. Still, from the perspective of the above-mentioned super-tasks, there are clearly recognized by me specific, very fundamental and very essential faulty motivations of audio people to employ the amplifiers like Lamm ML3, the bigger Audio Note Ongaku, the largest Wavac and etc… it is not because they are expansive in fact the price’s number are irrelevant. The problem is that in context of those amplifiers the COST BECOMES THE MAJOR DESIGN IMPEDIMENT.

I perfectly comfortable to elaborate on my point of the cost as the major design impediment and I will do it in my next post in this thread. It is very imperative to understand that not the numeric value of price that distracts me in ML3 but the fundamental faulty premises around which this amplifier is designed; designed if to look at the world form the perspectives of  the subject of my site, namely: advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techniques…
