LM-216IA INTEGRATED TUBE AMPLIFIER - PUSH PULL KT88 - 2X38W

Giá niêm yết: https://www.widescreenaudio.be/product/line-magnetic-lm-216ia/

The Line Magnetic 216IA’s sound showcases the classic strengths of tubes while avoiding most of their pitfalls. It had a rich tonal palette and a musical warmth in the midrange without being analytical or sacrificing musical details, and managed to coax from my speakers a huge soundstage and remarkable dynamic response. Nor did its reproduction of the high and low frequencies take a back seat, sounding smooth and extended in the treble, with bass that was exceptionally taut and textured. Further, the 216IA’s engaging forwardness made the sound come alive -- voices, especially those of women, were remarkably realistic. Its 38Wpc output in ultralinear mode gripped my speakers and drove them relentlessly, with prodigious bass and loudness, while triode mode enhanced smoothness and transparency. With its effortlessly fluent musical flow, the Line Magnetic 216IA integrated amplifier more than made up for its minor shortcomings of providing not quite the ultimate levels of control and refinement. Factoring in the 216IA’s outstanding build quality and its low price of $1850, its ratio of value for money is right up there with the best.

The Line Magnetic integrated amplifier LM-216IA is a push-pull amplifier with 4x KT88 tubes in Class AB amplification and delivers 2x22W in triode mode and 2x38W in ultra-linear mode. It has 4 balanced line inputs and 4/8Ω output groups. The rear-illuminated front panel meter is used to adjust the polarization of the tubes.

The use of high quality components (Realcap capacitors, ALPS potentiometer) wired in the air for the most part is the guarantee of exemplary reliability. Its transformers output are of EI type, specially disigned for power supply. The LM-216iA delivers dynamic, rich and natural sound.
