ARC ref 3,5 OR Lamm LL2.1 for my ml2.1


I have been using the AYRE KXR preamp for my Lamm ML2.1 amp. I recently tried the Lamm LL2.1 tube preamp and wad floored at how much more musical my system sounds now. Pianos sounded like pianos. Voice had the mid range magic. One of those great moments where a 7k box beats a 20k box. Now that i realize synergy and tube preamp - i wanted to test the ARC Ref 3 or 5 - anyone experienced this combo and any ideas about the difference between ARC and Lamm preamps on this system?

Go with the Lamm. They were designed to work with one another.

Lewinskih01,

That would be a long journey. But I must admit, the journey is part of the fun. :)
Thanks! for sharing.

LAMM is on my short-list to demo as soon as I find a dealer/retailer. For those who own this gear, please suggest your local dealer/retailer so that I may get some audition time. Happy Listening!
Hello Saint519.

I am in the deep South- Alabama. Luckily, I travel the nation for work. Can you suggest a dealer/retailer?
