Nagra VPA versus Lamm ML1.1

Can't speak for the Lamm, but the Nagra is very smooth and musical, with the correct tubes (both 845's and internal tubes) it is very harmoinically fleshed out. I own Verity Parsifal Encores, and there is a reason the Verity people showcase them with Nagra electronics....

Not to simply defend my choice of gear..... but, a re-tubed VPA does not sound like a stock VPA.

To anyone who runs tubes, that should come as no surprise, as each VPA has 4 tubes (input and driver internally, and two 845's on the top). Anyway, nothing against the Lamm's, they're obvioulsy first class, just adding that the Nagra can be sweetened and made more palpable with different tube sets......

Steve, how you liking that Berning I sold you. Still got it? Hard to beat that bass, huh?

EXACTLY!
