@millercarbon. Yes, I've been talking with Steve (who's right up the road) and just asked him the lead time.
Integrated amp comparison/recommendation
Hey all,
Yet another Simao post asking for recommendations. I feel like almost all the post I start do that, so thank you for indulging me yet again.
I’m window shopping / pursuing one of these three integrated:
1. Line Magnetic 845ia
2. Decware Torii Mk4
3. LFD LE MkV
I am running a Lyngdorf 2170 at the moment and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that except I’m looking for a different sound. Before the ling dorf, I had an LFD LE Mark 4 which I really, really enjoyed. I would jump at the chance to get a Mark V if one came up for sale here or on the other audio site.
However, I’m also really interested in line magnetic. I’ve heard them before and I would love to go back to tubes with that brand. And I’ve always been fascinated with Decware. Steve Deckert makes really really good stuff.
My speakers are spatial M3 turbos at 94dB; my sources are VPI HW19 Mark 4 turntable with a Hana ML cartridge and an LFD LE phono stage; and an Oppo 105. When I play vinyl, I tend to listen to jazz and more nuanced, well produced music. When I stream or play CD, I tend to listen to more bass heavy rock or hip hop.
