Well, have a good time, Stitch. Generally as far as I know Lamm equipment not modified a lot. When I own Lamms I make some minor changes that were not modifications but rather accommodations to the needs of my particular playback.

I would say that ML2.1 is not a good candidate for “modification” at least by parts swapping you will not get anywhere. I do not know if it is correct but reportedly Lamm changed output transformer when he moved from ML2.0 to ML2.1 and that killed all sound. Again, it is just gossip but the fact is that ML2.1 has not even residual signature of what ML2.0 had. If the ML2.0 was a great distance away from most of the SETs out there then I do feel that a typical $2K-$3K SET amps of regular consumer level performs as the same level as ML2.1. It is shames that the industry embraced ML2.1 none problematically and each reviewing whore who received ML2.1 as a gift consider own duty to blab that ML2.1 is some kind of improvements of ML2.0. Ironically that only proves the Vladimir’s accusation that most of his customers who have been using his ML2.0 for year still are clueless of what kind amp they have and what the amp is able off.

So, I truly do not know what you will be doing with the ML2.1. If you do it for somebody then do whatever, cash you check and forget about it. If it is your amp then, and I am not kidding – your can easily sell your ML2.1 as it considered “better” and get yourself an old used pair of ML2.0. You shall have a few thousand dollars left over; here is where the payment to those felines’ shelters would be handy…

If you get the ML2.0 then it might be interesting to learn what you found there worth to modify and what result you will get. I would personally very much be interested to get run out the out tube regulation as I feel it might be responsible foe some things that I found might be better in ML2.0. It I hard to say – I never seen the ML2 circuit and never was trying to reconstruct it.  At the time I used ML2 I had no knowledge to do it, recently when I had a pair of ML2s home I have no interest.  Welkl, in fact I do – I would like to learn how Lamm biased the output tube – I presume it is fixed bias but I did not look at it when I had it here.

Anyhow, as you might know I am not big fan of parts swapping, at least the things that I feel need to be improved in ML2 or  ML2.0 I would hardly expect you would be able to fix by changing the caps and binding posts.
