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?

I recommend you to audition LM508 or 805

It will blow away any tube integrated amplifier under 9K.

One more tip is that if you change input tubes with some NOS tube, it will improve sound drastically.

You do not need to spend lot of money.

I got good result with NOS tube with 70$ pair.

Try Ssl7 first.

It has the most effect .

I am happy with Brimar

True NOS Gain Tested Brimar England CV1985 / 6SL7GT Vacuum Tube Brown Base | eBay


I also have ECC35 recommend by other folks. But it is in my storage. I may try it in 2 weeks to compare it with excellent Brimar.

I am also happy with Amperex Sn7
