LS-5 quality against today preamps ???


Hello everybody,

I'm about (perhaps) buying an LS-5, and I was wondering is that preamp is always a good quality unit, against what is constructed today.

To be more precise, I know the LS5 was a very GREAT preamp 10-15 years ago.
But is this always the case today ???

What about the LS5 against a today's Lamm LL2 for instance ?

Thanxs for your help,
Best regards,
Steve

My understanding is you want to make sure and get the LS5 MKIII not the earlier versions.

I would agree with rcprince:The LS5 will be a fully balanced design, whereas the Lamm preamp will be single ended and it has two volumn knobs (left/right) which might annoy you.
