Lack of Lamm customer service?


Purchased a used Lamm LL2.1 and emailed Elina about having seller ship directly to Lamm to have a Tech check it to spec and make sure all is well.

Haven’t gotten a reply back yet and after talking with another Lamm owner was told it could take ’months’ for something like this...

Is this true? I was also planning on getting the Lamm LP2.1 phono, new if I could not find a used one soon.. but if this is how their customer service is I think I will pass.

Many years ago I purchased a used Audible Illusions M3A preamp and loved it... then was offered a discount for the newest model years ago... I went for it and traded in the used for the new... then when I needed customer service it did not exist.. not at least in a realistic time frame... so I sold the preamp and never looked back.

I’m already starting to have buyers remorse....

I just realized I have not updated this thread.
Elina did contact me, and I had their shop go completely thru the LL2.1 Deluxe preamp.
They have been going thru a company restructuring which caused the delay.  They did a wonderful job with the LL2.1 and I have been enjoying it.

Tomorrow I expect the arrival of a Lamm LP2.1 Deluxe phono stage.

Thank you for replying,
After I first posted the thread I tried to re-word the heading/post but too much time lapsed and couldn’t change. I could have worded it better.
Again, you are appreciated :^)
I called the phone number Lamm lists on its webpage, you get a message that they are not taking calls now right away as "We are currently in the process of restructuring the Company"
then the message goes on to say to call Elina directly and gives her number.
When I call her number, I get a message that "the mailbox is full and cannot except new messages"

Is this something that is new, or is this normal?

" I think they prefer that you work through a dealer"

No luck there...

Was approached in this thread by a Dealer, but he does not respond after replying.
Messaged another Dealer on a different forum... he doesn't respond.
Local Dealer says "You'll need to contact Lamm"


@gestalt

"Hi, I'm a Lamm Industries dealer and I'm happy to help. Feel free to DM"

Except .....you don't reply....
