How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono

From the tonal structure, the reality of reproduction, detail of notes and you will notice the total lack of any mechanical artifact present which is dominant in a majority of Phono Stages today. There is the delicate balance between the Instruments, the different gains in the structure, which is very, very rare to get.
It serves the music to the connoisseur, who understands what he hears. A bargain.

Thanks for all the inputs so far. I did not realize about fixed MC input impedance. As of right now, I am using Ortofon T100 step up transformer with my cartridge so that should not be a problem but I do plan to run a second cartridge/arm and that might be a problem. Over here, there are local dealers that I can audition ARC, ASR, Asthetix, CJ, Pass, Audio Valve, EAR but other will be tricky to find. I have Koetsu and Air Tight cartridges currently which probably would work well with 400 ohms loading for MC but I will have to try first and see.

I hope your cartridges will work with the LP2. I really like LAMM sound, just feels right. To my regret, I cannot afford those things for now.

I am using this phono stage and cannot say enough about its transparency, speed, low noise and ability to strip away artifacts as noted by Syntax and to that also add its excellent bass response. There is a natural directness to the music that is a Lamm trademark, personified in the Lamm ML2 (2.1) SET amplifier, and evident in the LP2D.

Also I can vouch for its performance using an Air Tight Supreme into the MC inputs and a Koetsu Coralstone with an Auditorium Homage T1 into the mm.

Loading is 40, not 400, according to the reviews and literature. Works superbly with Koetsus.
