I am saddened by this. I have his ML2 SETs and at one point, also had his Reference Line stage. The first time we brought the gear for him to go over- just to check- it was ready to be picked up a couple days after my wife dropped it off in deep Brooklyn. And the bill was a couple hundred bucks for a a new tube socket and a few other odds and ends. I talked to him several times and at one point he was quite candid about how awful the USSR was- but he was a prodigy; apparently building audio gear for highly placed party members while working on MIC stuff. I think he was very happy to be in the States and his wife, Elina, is a lovely person. I no longer live in NY and am not "close" to the family, but know them. I know David Karmeli was very close to Vlad and Elina- he is the one that started the thread on WBF. Vlad Lamm was a significant force in designing and building; and was a class act in all my encounters with him. He leaves us a world a little less filled with his particular genius, and a legacy that I hope is long lasting. Bill Hart |
