Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225
I am not familiar with the Mc225 but having auditioned the LM219 several times, I can say that this amp is a marvelous piece of gear!It is very well built (like a tank!) using very good parts. The original valves are not the best in the market, bu...

I am using Morrow Audio and also Furutech for my both turntables and I'm happy.  
Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time?
For the last year I guess I turned my system on nearly a dozen times - sad but true. The reason is I'm living in a small apartment and I have a one year old baby. The living room, where the audio system is, is the place where the baby (and everyon...

Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia
When I first heard the 219ia, it was driving a pair of bookshelf Aurum Cantus - gorgeous mellow sound. Later (about a year ago) I heard the 518ia and the 219ia connected to a pair of big ATC speakers (maybe the SCM100). The sound was powerful! Mor... 
Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia
Roxy, let us know your opinion after hearing the 508ia.I already auditioned those 3 amps in the same room, same day, same speakers. Immediately out of my equation was the 518ia and then it was a difficult choice between the 219ia and the 508ia.I l... 
My final table , hopefully !
One more for the Nottingham!I heard it for the first time one year ago, while auditioning some speakers and amplifiers, and I got hooked! I kept going to the shop over and over again just because of that table and finally I ordered one: the Ace Sp... 
Which Zu for you
