advise needed on LM219iA. I listen to Jazz, pop/rock, acoustic etc and between those amps, Do you think LM219iA would be an upgrade?....currently using Cs600 with Zu Druids.
I know many will suggest to go for an audition, but I just need some opinion from here.
As a Leben and LM dealer, there will be a pretty decent difference in sound profiles b/t the two. Both are excellent integrateds. LM will give you a lot of that SET midrange/top end "magic". CS600 is a fantastic integrated though.....
Are you looking for something different soundwise out of what you currently have? Or just looking for a change?
hi5. Your Leben amplifier has an excellent reputation and I imagine that it's a very good match with the Zu speakers. These 2 amplifiers are fundamentally different designs . Push pull 6l6GC/el 34 compared to 845 (with 300b driver) SET,yep,they're different. Individual taste rules so hard to predict which one you'd choose. Given your music genre preferences the 845 SET would be a superb option. My bias is in the direction of the LM 219ia. Charles
