an Amp that you have in your radar (ideally demoed)

He is not posting anything these days but he is in touch with me on WhatsApp. We do exchange quite a few SMS almost everyday and today also we did.
Edit - I will send him the link of this thread which got him famous overnight.

Amps that are in my radar are LAMM ML 2 and Airtight 300 R. I have not heard these amps though. Usually I buy most of my stuff blind. The Airtight 300R will not be able to drive my JBLs. So that will have to wait till I get into a horn or some other high efficiency speaker. LAMM, I placed an order for last year but chickened out last moment since I just could not get myself to have monoblocs and a pre as it was impossible to accommodate them in my room. So LAMM is never likely to happen.

Another 2 amps that I might look at some point of time are CH Precision Integrated and a Luxman L10 from the late 70s.

Other than these 4 amps, no other amp excites me for now.

Thanks guys

I’ve been busy the past 6-8 months with my relocation from Mumbai to Nasik, my hometown and a more peaceful location.

Also helping the wife setup her project, which is very dear to me because it entails emotional/mental health.
I do however come on the forum once every few days but unless I have something constructive to post, I’d rather just read and learn from your experiences.

Thanks again

Onemanarmy, lovely to know about your wife’s project on mental health. Wishing you guys the very best. Take care

many of us do not have this luxury, therefore it's fascinating to see so many forum members who have. One such amp that has piqued my interest is the the Croft Integrated R which prem calls his end game, and in the world of hifi, it's priced well within what some mid-range marantz would cost..

so, not necessarily the cost, any amp that you have demoed that stood apart from what you have otherwise experienced. lamm seems interesting design, red wine audio once upon a time was a craze.. thoughts..?

Heard that Glenn Croft is about to retire. Hope the legacy continues.....

Best wishes for the new phase in your life - May it be work wise fulfilling and location wise relaxing.

Thanks Sachin.
At the moment it’s certainly relaxing location wise
And extremely fulfilling. Even though work is just in its very initial stage, the few people we have been able to assist and their feedback, brings a lot of joy.

Will try to be more active on the forum once things settle down. Hopefully within the next few months

Now that you’re free of the shackles of a Mumbai apartment hope the system will grow into the much larger space at Nashik!

OT: very interested in the Gato amp since it’s similar to gamut.
