| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Migueca-Thank you. If you dont mind the price difference, go with the 219ia. It is the flagship of the line, and has its massive transformers and beautiful midrange. It also is a true dual mono design. Is the 508 as well? I know the 518, 218 etc, ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Spinning Michael buble's Christmas album with my wife right now at 4ohm's.. Also for the first time ever, plugged all 3 ports on my sub and set it to 'sealed mode'. (SVS pb13 ultra). Everything is sounding very nice. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles-Yes, the power supply being transformer and tube rather than a SS short cut is what stands out to me with the ZP3 most of all.Amp is warming up now with the 4ohm taps. Will begin spinning a record in just a few moments.... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Al.-thanks for your response. I will get around to trying the other taps in that case. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Further question-I have been advised to try all of the impedance taps, 4, 8, and 16 ohm with my cornwalls. The cornwalls are rated at 8ohms, so that is what I am wired to right now but should I really, and is it really perfectly fine to run the 16... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles. Being the SET simple circuitry is a large factor in this magnificent sound, I am thinking why not stick with a true SET design phono like the decware zp3.. otherwise there is the bottlehead Eros with 50db of gain .. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 I have to add. When you see the amp in person, and especially when you feel the weight it possesses, your are at that moment certain that this amp cannot sound thin or weak. It is a true boulder, very hard to get out of the box even. The remote is... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles1/Joeinid.Thank you. I am very pleased, and relieved that I am this happy with the sound. I listened more last evening. The new ’Black Breath’ album was included.. For any listeners who enjoy heavy music, trust me, give this album a listen.... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 219ia has arrived....And it sounds..........Absolutely wonderful. The allure of this amp glowing in my listening space alone is mesmerizing. What a cool looking amp. The dynamics that I stated as somewhat lacking in my current setup with the 500wa... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 roxy,That is the path I'm exploring here, and hoping that it proves to be worth it. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Roxy- 500w SS mono blocks are about the last thing id desire to pair with the cornwalls, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the LM219 turns out with them. Im looking forward to things opening up and the mids really shining.charles-If I'm ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles-. Thank you for the hopeful and encouraging words. I am really looking forward to getting this thing. I will upgrade the cornwalls for sure. Mine happen to be Cornwall 1’s will the fully removable back, which makes them very easy to access... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Fjn-ill take a look. The zephyr is 'labeled' as a high output moving iron cartridge but I am not extremely well versed in cartridges, so I can't say myself, in regards to how much gain I may need. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Also: I will need a phono amp. I have not started researching them yet. I have a VPI classic 2 with sound smith zephyr 2 cartridge. It is a moving iron (MM). I would appreciate advice for phono amps! I dont need out of this world diminishing ga... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Happy Thanksgiving. (Remember, the indians were here first...No I’m not indian)So Ive got my cornwalls. 1980 horizontal pair. Heavy and solid walnut, in excellent shape for their age. Here are my thoughts on those in comparison to the outgoing b&a... |
