 Marc is the “gear of the machinery” and he is instrumental entity to sell amps. Probably the stage is being set for Mr. Mickelson to begin the cheerleading the new Lamm’s amplifiers….

This thread that stared as mockery of Vladimir Lamm and Lamm Industry got turned into talks about ML3 amp. I was thinking to split the thread but then decided to keep it as it as they might be much related subjects.

Lamm announced that his new ML3 amps will be reviewed by Marc Mickelson with Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria  - Oh who could guess it? Marc Mickelson has a history of publicizing Lamm’s products, so it sound like a logical chose. There is not a lot of know about the ML3. There is a guy on Audiogon “Oneobgyn” who uses ML3 and who drools over himself about his love to this amp. Interesting that after using the amp for a while he has absolutely nothing to say about the amp’s sound besides encouraging others and himself to buy the amp – the typical Audiogon idiot as I can see it.

Now, Marc Mickelson will enter the game a month or two. If you are familiar Mickelson’s produce and know the rules of the reviewing engagements then with you have already read 95% of the Mickelson’s upcoming review. I have no doubts that the review will be stupid and What Marc doe now is collecting adjectives to ornament his writing and make it to feel different. Conceptually however it will be a zerox-copy of any other “critical acclaims” that Mark and the Morons in his business did in a past.

Mark Mickelson reviewed Lamm L1 prams and then L2 Lamm preamp - Mark Mickelson filed to recognize some dangers and alarming tendencies in L2. Anyhow, we should not be very hard on Mark Mickelson – he got paid not for the brain he used in his writing but for the amount of exuberant saliva he spits while he is worshiping a new product.  Still, I found that it is very good that Mark Mickelson dealt with Lamm L2. Sometime ago the boys that infested around the Soundstage and who are in the business to trade on used market the Soundstage-extorted audio components were running around selling the Mark Mickelson’s  personals Lamm L2 preamp that he got after his review. I took it as a very good sight of the fact the Lamm L3 preamp is coming – it might a very interesting machine and I am very enthusiastic about it.

Then Mark Mickelson, afar a years of having ML2.0 power amp reviewed the ML2.1 amps. The ML2.1 were fucking Krell or Parasound in Lamm enclosure but Mark Mickelson keep trumpeting and drumming the “glory of Lamm sound” without having any sense what the hell going on. Now he was given the ML3 and said “Fetch” - I wonder what he will come up with. There is an interesting moment in it. It looks like before the Mickelson’s review of ML3 it will be coming the Mickelson’s review of Lamm LP2 phonostage, the devilishly-broken one:

It will be interesting for the sake of Mark Mickelson’s credibility to see what he will be able to say about LP2 phonostage and then to reflect his “thoughts” about ML3 in context of the sensibility he might use about LP2. Well, we all will be watching…
