Lamm Industries, Kharma

As at so many previous shows, Lamm Industries and Kharma offered some of the very best sound heard anywhere, proving once again the synergy that exists between these two brands. Two pairs of Lamm ML2 amplifiers ($29,290 per pair) drove new Kharma Grand Ceramique 1.0 speakers ($39,999 per pair) via Kharma KLC Supreme speaker cables ($5499). Lamm's new L2 preamp ($13,690) was also in use, as were the Metronome T20 transport and C20 DAC. Interconnects and power cords were also from Kharma -- KIC Grand Reference ($3999 per meter pair) and KPC Reference ($1299) respectively. The sound of this very costly system was very full range -- and magical.
