Any former Lamm Preamp Users? What did you buy next?

My main system has a Lamm LL2.1 Preamp that needs repair and Lamm is basically out of business and I need to move on. I'm willing to spend up to 4K (used) but I'm especially interested in what former Lamm uses have moved on to. The Lamm is a special sounding unit but they aren't sharing the schematic so repairs are a fools errand. I know, I'm one of the fools....

A competent technician - aka "repair guy" - doesn't need a schematic. Tube circuitry is actually a lot simpler and easier to repair than solid state. Find a competent technician. Don't go spending $$$$ on a new preamp. You already have enough invested in the Lamm.

I can recommend Audio Classics in Vestal, NY.

Lamm is theoretically still operating out of Miami, and I would think you could return the item there for repair.  However, I did have a Lamm pre amplifier, and moved on to the Ypsilon.  It was more expensive, but it also sounds better.
