Preamp for a Line Magnetic i518?
facten....yes I have rolled some tubes. Philips 5R4GYS rectifier, SED Winged C EL34s, and Psvane TII 12ax7. Haven't  changed out the 845s yet but would like to soon.  Not sure which ones so haven't done that yet. I don't really feel (or know) anyt... 
Preamp for a Line Magnetic i518?
Thanks all. I will email teajay. fjn04, there are two Aurieges listed now...one is an older version with 2 units (w/separate power unit) and the other a combined 1 unit. Do you, or anyone else, know if there are any sonic differences?  Not sure wh... 
Preamp for a Line Magnetic i518?
I read up on both preamps mentioned. It seems as if the Micro ZOTL is primarily a headphone amp and only puts out 1W. Is this really enough output to serve as a preamp. I'm not really knowledgeable on in depth electrical issues. Also it actually h... 
Preamp for a Line Magnetic i518?
Thanks Charles...I will look into that. Anyone else have some thoughts on a preamp for my system?  Sure would appreciate hearing more ideas.  
Tube for a Noob ???
Not sure where you are located. Tone imports is the North America importer and Pitch Perfect in LA is the dealer that I purchased my unit. Here is a link that provides some specs:. http://china-highend-hifi.com/LM-515CD,%20En.html

Line Magnetic CD 515. Beautiful CD player and it also has a USB input to stream if you want.  
Tube Rolling with the Line Magnetic 518 IA
Hey tnut....did you ever get the Psvane 845WE tubes?  I also have the LM5181 and am now wanting to try some new 845s. And do you think the Psvane 845T II would be a worthy upgrade? Or better value ($400 vs $700)?  Thanks......

Cartridge help: Ortofon Cadenza vs. Soundsmith Paua
I have a Prime. When I purchased I put on my existing Orto Bronze MM. A couple months later I decided it was time to try a MC so I purchased a Orto Cadenza Bronze and a Lyra Delos.   All the reviews on the Cadenza Bronze are pretty spot on. I deci... 
Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs
Seems as if I'm in the minority here. I never really heard of the Linn philosophy but my TT and cartridge is 60% and speakers/cables 40% of overall costs (msrp).  Guess it's time for some better speakers :)VPI Prime with Valhalla  tone arm wire an... 
Manley Chinook
Miner...I have a chinook, bought it from Audiogon member used. Had it connected to a VPI Prime with an Ortophon Bronze MM. Everything sounded great!  I then bought an Ortophon Cadenza Bronze to experience the MC world. This necessitated I remove t... 
Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords.
Thanks Charles for the response. I'd be interested to hear any other opinions on the 10 vs 12 gauge PC cable for a CD player.  
Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords.
I am interested in getting a SR Black power cable and free Black fuse while the special is still on for my CD player (Line Magnetic 515 -- tube).  I'm a bit unsure of the fuse. The back of the CD player lists the fuse as T1.6AL250V. It's the small... 
Line Mangnetic CD player 515. Tube rolling .
Hi David and borg7x9:  I too just got a LM 515 CD player (and I also have the LM 518i amp).  This CD player is excellent and sounds so great paired with the 518. It doesn't seem to get much "press" but I can tell you it blows my Marantz away.  Ver...

Hey borg....I'm thinking of getting a LM 515.  Did you ever do any tube rolling and if so, what do you think?  Thanks.......
