In the Thread: Initial thoughts about new/old Lamm ML2s
Post Subject: Feedback on the feedbackPosted by Paul S on: 10/2/2007
In subjective terms what I hear with feedback is a higher level of "control" and a certain type of "density" of the overall sound that I have not heard with any zero feeback designs. I first noticed this with the RM9, where I was able to try a variable range of feedback. In the case of the RM9, the increased control and density also felt as though the "good granularity" got mashed into silicone, and also the harmonics retreat as feedback increases. With the ML2, the control/organization/density seems more specific to a certain "organization/control" and the "tiny particles" or "granularity" of the sound, but without also mashing the good granularity, and also the harmonics remain. Although I associate these effects with feedback I could not say from this how or where feedback was implemented, and I do not have a pictue of the ML2 feedback circuit details in my mind, ie, I do not understand it.
Romy, you would probably know this: I would be interested to know if the ML2's 6AK5 tube is in any way related to feedback in the ML2, because I would guess that it is. If not, then, I'm wrong (again).
