I find my LM 518 does a nice job highlighting some of the natural sonorities of a piano and was wondering if other members have identified amps / components / systems that do the same. Cheers :)
I have been thinking about a Line Magnetic Amp for a third system, probably a SET amp. Wondering if it would power a pair of the new JBL L100 speakers?
Your LM 518 is regarded as a well made and implemented 845 SET amplifier, so your listening impression is not surprising. Pure class A run in a simple signal pathway is going to result in very high quality 'natural' sound. You made a good choice in selectioning this amplifier.
Fellow local Audiogon member hauled his 518 over to my place to run 86 db Vandersteen Treo CT - he was considering- very relaxed and natural sounding amplifier rich in harmonic overtones - lovely sustain. Certainly not the last word in SPL but would be fine for my purposes. Have fun, enjoy!
