Line Magnetic quality


Here we go again…

 

Hej!

I have had my eyes on Line Magnetic Audio for some time, but a friend of mine says that I should stay away from hi-fi and hi-end made in china because they have bad luck when it comes to quality and that they sound bad.

I tell him that I have heard otherwise and that people really like the sound of the LM amplifiers.


So Line Magnetic owners, what do you say? Is he right or is he wrong?

 

By the way; has anyone been listening to LM34AI?

Simna. That is gonna sound sweet.
lets us know how you like the amp and tubes. As stated, the step up in going from LM tubes to NOS, Mullard, Genelex, Tung-Sol etc is a huge payoff in SQ.

Yes, I did. But one or more of the Tung-Sol EL34Bs are faulty, so I have to send them back. The Genalex Gold Lion ECC82s and the ECC83 works fine, but they haven't done more than 50 hours so they will change in sound. But I think the sound is a little veiled. I want a more open sound. Maybe it will change when the ECC82s and the ECC83 gets more hours. Or maybe when I get the new set of Tung-Sol EL34Bs. Or maybe some of the other ECC82s and ECC83s I also bought will do the trick.

Very interested in your views on this combination of amp and model power tube once you have 100 hrs on them. 

Looking at this LM model or a s/h CJ premier 11A atm
Yes do let us know your impressions of this amp and the tube rolling results. Overall and compared to other brands, not too much written on the Line Magnetic Audio products, therefore user experiences like yours and mine (long ago I wrote about the 216i) are important to potential buyers.
