I like Line Magnetic and I own the 216Ia. It is well built and sounds fantastic. I bought it from a dealer in the USA, Don Better Audio. He has taken care of me and that’s the only way I would buy the brand. I also like Rogue Audio integrated, which I also own. Good luck with your search and watch out for those tariff fees.
ordering from China.....which Chinese Tube Integrated at 3k?
seeking advice please,
I've become intrigued recently by these relatively low priced 3k-ish tube amps
the bigger seemingly more reputable sellers appear to also offer refunds
the contenders from I can see are the Willsenton R800i series and a heap of various Line Magnetics (508 ia, 518ia, 608 ia)
I like the balanced inputs on the Willsenton but the overall weight I don't like
my speakers are in the area of 89db sensitivity
can anybody recommend the above models?
