Lamm Industries/Gershman Acoustics
This was my favorite room for listening to classical music. There’s definitely a magical synergy with the Lamm electronics driving Gershman Acoustics speakers.
Present were the power, the weight and the airy sounds of symphony hall being recreated in this room. This was room captivated my imagination as I sat for a good while, enjoying the music. Music was presented via the Gershman Acoustics Black Swan speakers being driven by the Lamm M1.2 Reference, ML1.1 amplifiers, with Lamm L2 Reference preamplifier and Lamm LP2 phono preamplifier ($6,990). Digital source was provided by a NeoDio (from France) NR Two Transport (5,800 euros) and NR Two DAC . Vinyl was played on a Clearaudio Anniversary turntable with a Graham 2.2 tonearm. Kubala-Sosna cables were used throughout. Equipment stand and isolation bases were provided by Critical Mass
