Whoa Joolsburger! **** me, Lavardin eh!
Elfin you say you like that set up. Well clearly you’re a man who has impecable taste and, it would seem, a penchant for snake oil.
Lavardin kit is incredible. Jools I auditioned the Lavardin IT integrated amp a few years back and was blown away by it. I came very close to buying it, but at the time I just couldn’t stretch the budget. I wish I had though; you end up going down one path and eventually you’ve spent as much if not more than you’d originally tried to resit.
Elfin – Lavardin work on the principle that solid state circuits have a ‘memory’ of the signals that have passed through them. This ‘memory’ adds a continuous colouration to all the subsequent music. It’s something that, apparently, valve amps don’t suffer from, which is one of the reasons why they sound quite different.
Lavardin have found and patented a way of removing that ‘memory’ effect from their ammps.
That could be snake oil or it could be sound (pardon the pun) engineering, but either way Lavardin amps are incredible to listen to.
Jools, what exactly have you got going on there? I’m guessing you’re running twin mono power ams? Into what and from what?
