Ordered some NOS Amperex 7308's from Upscale Audio for my LAMM 2.2's. Thank you Jack for the recommendation! I'll report on my findings after a few spins.

enjoy...big fan of that tube myself and have used consistently in the system since 2008.

Jeff, thanks for letting me check out your room and system. Your system has great sound and synergy. Also enjoyed your excellent choice of jazz selections and libations as well.

Thanks Gary, you are welcome back anytime. I'm happy the system passed your Girl at Her Volcano test, now I have to find the Quiex II version of that record!

Jack....
Pretty surprised in the change after adding the new tube. Less congestion at loud volumes and a bigger soundstage. Best $200 I've ever spent on my system.

Beautiful room and set up- enjoy!

Wow, I missed this thread when you first posted. What a great room. What did you do with the actual garage door? I see the tracks still...just sheet rock it in per your other walls?

I must say the vinyl collection caught my eye...along with the listening aids. Seems you're missing a Aberlour 16 ;-)

Congrats on what must be a GREAT sounding system !

Thank you for your kind words, I've been following your stereo journey on Audiogon and this forum for years. This is not my last house, so I didn't want to fundamentally change the garage. When I'm ready to sell this house, I'll remove the split AC and acoustic treatments, and it will be a nice garage with storage and dedicated lines! Inspired by Dr. Steve's system, I covered the garage door with high grade acoustic curtains.

I'll pick up a bottle of Aberlour 16 for sure!

What is this test?
After reading this post I stumbled upon this EP yesterday, having never heard of it before, and picked it up for $3.00.
It needs cleaning, RCM packed away, so it will sit until I have it available.

What specifics of this EP comprise of "The Test"? What am I listening for? Assuming Under the Boardwalk, but looking for specifics and why.

I have the 45RPM version of her debut, one of my all time favorites.

Jeff,

Would you perhaps have a picture or two of the back of the room in dealing with the garage door?

Gary played Under the Board Walk on my system and liked what he heard. He said that this track gets congested on many systems that he plays it on. I'm always listening for smearing of voices....especially the female voice.

I snap a picture when I'm back from work.

Just added HRS damping plates to the tops of all my Lamm products. Highly recommend!

Why?

What rack do you use Jeffrey

jeff1225 · Nov 1, 2016

David,
Because they look cool. In all seriousness, the top plates of the Lamm amps ring when tapped so the HRS remove the ringing and reduce vibration.

I know you are against any tweeking of the Lamms...but I just can't help myself.

I designed a rack using Google Sketch Up and had a carpenter build it out of teak plywood. Not as massive as your racks Dr. Steve, but beautiful to look at.

I'd get them off the floor

Steve,
They are on stands that are also made of 8 ply teak and have large spikes below them.
