With that spoiler out-of-the-way let me first tell you the story of how I found this 24 watts per channel integrated tube SET amplifier to power my not so sensitive speakers. Over the past years I have not only been a photography geek but also an Audio Geek. When I sit down to unwind and listen to music I want to be taken INTO the music, not just listen to some muffled sounds or heavy bass or ear-piercing treble. I want to listen and FEEL the music..
As I wrote in my Guarneri Evolution speaker review, when you have a music reproduction system that can deliver the full experience of the recording it can indeed be a magical thing. This is one reason that I have been hooked on having a 2 channel only music system in my home for the past 15 years that can do just that.
Over the years it has went from small in size and price to medium to large and to what I now consider a bit over the top for me , but for some of you out there my system would be in the medium range as there are much more elaborate and expensive systems out there costing MUCH more than what I have here.
Was I impressed? Would I buy it? Did I like it better than my system? NO, not really…. I mean.. I have used speakers of all kinds and types and sizes.
Sensitive to power-hungry — bookshelf to huge tower — standard to dipole to horns. I have owned and used all kinds of amps and pre-amps from tube to solid state — low power tube to high power tube and low power solid state to high power megawatt solid state. Integrated amps to separates. I have done two channel and home theater systems yet I always prefer a nicely balanced 2 channel system that has great synergy.
Others have come close but it is what I have now that continues to put a smile on my face every day and night when I power it on. One of the reasons for this is due to the absolutely beautiful but beastly Line Magnetic ia amp. It all started when I went into my local dealer to check out the goodies he had on display and on demo. I saw this big hulking looking amp with a golden faceplate and was intrigued. I asked about it and a couple of weeks later I ended up borrowing it to test in my system.
I knew from the first 5 minutes that I wanted this amp. I assumed the wait would be a week, maybe 10 days but it was just before the X-Mas holidays so I really had no idea. Two weeks go by.. Three weeks.. Then I found out that the US distributor was out of stock.
Instead of waiting what could have been months I decided to order the larger and more expensive ia as it was the one I was eyeballing online after getting a taste of the other LM amp. Long story short, 6 weeks after placing the order for the ia the ia is now mine and now in my system. I am only listening this low as others are asleep in the house right now but the sound is very nice even at this low power being used.
My speakers are NOT sensitive or considered an easy load. At 86 db SPL 2. Normally that would be true as many amps just do not have the grunt needed regardless of wattage. For example I once owned a McIntosh tube amp powering the previous Guarneri Memento speakers and the sound was flat, dull, non exciting.. It basically pumped sound through the speakers.
It was a 75WPC tube amp but just did not have the raw power to properly drive those speakers which were an easier load than the Evolutions. I knew this was something special. When I saw the price.. I knew it was even MORE special. These 86Db speakers do not sound thin, small or brittle. They sound beautifully balanced and full. This is a remarkable feat. The Beautiful tank like lb ia integrated amp is a behemoth in size and weight. It had to be shipped via freight in a huge wooden crate on a pallet.
Took a week to arrive after shipping and when I went to pick it up it required 2 of us to load the box into my car. Once powered on with these new tubes the sound took on a whole new signature. Gone was the softness and slight muffled sound that I encountered when I 1st powered up the amp. Now it was louder and seemed to have even more power.. The sound is typical with a slight B midrange magic present. It was quite different from the ia I had in my system for weeks loaner from dealer. Yes, effortless with my hard to drive speakers!
In fact, this amp replaced a Solid State amp that was giving my speakers Watts per channel! It was a tad muffled sounding, a bit flat, a smaller soundstage width and height.. But it did not make my speakers disappear like the ia does. Not even close.
The ia lets the music flow and breathe through my speakers almost using them as a living being with the amp providing the voice. Yes I know this sounds extreme for an audio review but there are nights best time to listen when I sit in amazement and disbelief with certain recordings as to what is coming out of these speakers with the ia powering the system. Different maybe. The build is the best I have ever seen..
The build beats my old McIntosh and Integrated amps, so that puts it in great company. After using and owning this amp for a little while I can say that in all of my years I have never seen anything like it. I have owned Wavelength Audio B mono blocks more expensive just for amps and I like this better in every way. None of them were any better than this Line Magnetic. I have never seen any other push-pull tube amp, even when rated at WPC come close to providing the power that this amp does at 24WPC.
To test its limits I have even had it maxed out at the WPC mark on the built-in meter for songs and never did it strain or give me a hint that it was in trouble. It was still going strong without strain or any audible distortion and my speakers were insanely loud! When listening in the evening the amp provides a full magical sound even when pumping only 0.
Drives them with ease. It is indeed that 1st watt that is the most special and when it is class A, even better and the ia is class A all the way. This is the 1st tube amp that I have owned that could power just about any speaker.
I can only imagine what it would do with high sensitivity speakers. I think this is due to the huge DUAL power transformers. This is a dual mono design and it provides the voltage and grunt to deliver current to the speakers. An amp is always much more than just watts my friends, and this ia has all of the magic ingredients to make it work and work well. The build and design. What can I say. As I already hinted at is that the build of this amp is top-notch.
It is the best built amp I have ever owned. It is tank like with a hammertone finish that will last a lifetime. What I mean is, the amps innards may eventually rot and die but the carcas will never die. It will last forever. Everything about the build is top-notch from the dials, switches and even meters. Nothing was skimped on here. Everything about it of very high quality. The amp is completely point to point hand wired which is something you rarely see these days.
I much prefer a hand wired amp and most US companies today have went to circuit boards, even good old Cary Audio in newer designs whose amps I once admired but lately it seems they are producing average run of the mill stuff. Their push-pull 35WPC tube integrated probably would NOT have powered my speakers right, even the dealer had his doubts and tried to steer me to a CD player instead telling me the front end was the most important.
For LM, they are a China based company, and one of the best in China at making audio products. Lien Magnetic is almost unknown, there is no USA advertising that I have seen and there are not many dealers even carrying them yet it is the best integrated amp I have ever heard or seen or owned… in build AND sound. The amp came crated and was amazingly protected within two other boxes. Tubes were already installed and each one had a huge piece of protective foam over it.
A tube cage was in place and there was even a silk sock over the amp and it was well packed in surrounded by foam and double boxed before being crated.
Top notch. The design of the amp is sort of a frankenstein but it took 3 days for me to really appreciate the beauty. Some will think it is ugly, some will think it is gorgeous. If it is anything it is an eye catcher and conversation starter. The great thing is that not only does it look the part, when powered up it sounds as good as it looks.
To me it sounds best in my setup. A real test…Low level listening.

Psvane Acme Series (new flagship series)
LOG IN. Has anyone heard the Elrog B tubes? Can anyone confirm that it is audible? I am choosing between Elrog and Takatsuki B tubes. I would prefer the Elrog because it is cheaper and supposedly wonderful but if it really sounds less powerful then I have to rethink. Edit Delete. No worries Charles, you've been properly careful with your language. It's just that I'll be buying a new pair of b tubes sometime next fall and now you've made me want a more expensive set.
45 Sound out of a 300B? Or a more powerful 45 setup? Possible?

TUS will be available in July Hi-Fi amps will only give you dramatic, high and low sound, missing the nuances and intricacies that TU can provide for you. TUS B is a two-way communication amp, meaning that you can: 1 hear the fine details of the performance 2 and simultaneously, you will echo back to the music. There are so many TU B owners that can share their delight with you. Mundorf Supreme Silver Gold 3.

The thoughts below are all the evolving opinion of one person me. These are opinions, not facts, and in many cases I'm making generalizations, so take this advice for what it is. Your ears, your room, your system So in short, your mileage may vary. They can make a good recording sound so very real and in the room, pulsating with life and vibrancy and lit from within.
Woo Audio WA5-LE: The new Lite Edition
Forum Rules. I too am surprised that you found the Pass But then again, you can still buy the 0. If you get a good deal, go for it. A5 might be the king at its price point, but S5 mk2 is at another level. IMO S5 mk2 is very underrated. Hi Al, This was my wife's and my first audio show. We will definitely do things differently at our next show, the Florida Expo.
