Class D is just Dandy!
Two more questions regarding amplification modules:How different is the sound of a Hypex from the sound of an ICEpower? Do they have distinctive sonic differences?And how important (or not) is it to have a dual-mono (in a stereo single case) rathe... 
Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers
I own a pair of Zu Omen def with a Line Magnetic 219ia. This is an expensive amplifier, but even the cheaper ones (518 and 508) are excellent.Another good option is a relatively new amplifier from Hong Kong - KingKo Audio. The designer is a friend... 
I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?
@defiantboomerang,I strongly recommend you to go audition the Line Magnetic 219ia. Other models are also very good, but this one is the flagship and it produces a fabulous sound without a hint of noise. If you like it I can sell you one for far le... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Erik, and all the contributors,After having read this thread from top to bottom - lots of good information - my question is: Did someone compare the amplifiers from Class D Audio to the ones from Ghent Audio? Because most likely I will order one f... 
Ghent Audio users
Erik, that is a great thread, lots of information. Thanks.  
Class D is just Dandy!
Although I am the happy owner of a class A tube beast that weighs almost as much as me, I'm curious about class D amps. I'm not getting any younger and handling my amplifier by myself is becoming an impossible task. Not to mention the heat and the... 
Long distance between preamp and power amp
Thank you all for your inputs. I will definitely keep the amplifier, so the bottom line is I will run a good pair of RCA cables inside a shielded sleeve and under my floor - I believe I'll be safe from interferences. I work in a theater where we h... 
Long distance between preamp and power amp
As many of you say, maybe the distance is not an issue after all - as long as I use a good cable. My preamplifier is an old (and mint) McIntosh C712.  
Long distance between preamp and power amp
I considered replacing my amplifier, but since I love it so much (it's a Line Magnetic 219ia) and this situation will be temporary for 3 or 4 years (because then I will move again), I prefer to keep the amplifier and work out a solution around the... 
Differences between Line Magnetic 518 and the 219
I own a 219ia and I bought it after many auditions comparing it to the 518ia and also the 508ia.I bought the 219 mainly because it was a very good deal (excellent value pre-owned).Regarding the sound, as mentioned before it's not that different fr... 
Tube amp for Zu Omen
I own a pair of Omen Def connected to a Line Magnetic 219ia - a fantastic marriage! Previous to this amplifier I was running a Cayin MT 45 Mk2 with very good results. When I bought the Cayin, the other option was a LM 216; I preferred the Cayin ov... 
AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue
Thank you all for your answers.After talking to a Nottingham Analogue salesman, I'm going to try the Pro-Ject Speed Box DS. It's a more affordable solution that is proven very good. 
AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue
I'll be more specific:So far I've been running my Spacedeck directly from the wall, never used a AC outboard. But I will move to a place where the power from the grid is not very stable and I read many good reviews about the Wave Mechanic and also... 
Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225
Nice to see this thread is still active. I finally pulled the trigger and brought my 219 home!I was about to buy a new one from the shop when I found out that a person I know was selling his. Living in my home for just a few days, here are my firs... 
Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225
jkull,Congratulations and happy listenings!I haven't decided yet which model to buy - 508ia or 219ia - but will get one soon. I am also planning a visit to Line Magnetic factory, I'm very curious to see how they make these beauties (I live nearby)...
