Selling this excellent near mint condition integrated from one of the true secrets in audio - Line Magnetic of China. As more audiophiles get to hear these amps, they are becoming more well known and respected. I have not had a great deal of respect or success with the few Chinese manufacturers I had tried. In-fact, I has sworn off until I stumbled upon this amp in NYC. A Google search will be rewarded with some good info on this unit.Line Magnetics is imported by Tone Audio, the importers of Shido. In-fact the dealer network has taken to calling the LM gear, the Shindo of China for the very special sound and build quality and reliability. These amps sound really good and play well out of their price league. They also look really nice in their matte silver hammertone finish. The big plus - they are very well built (custom wound iron, point-to-point wiring) and reliable (turning off and turning back on while playing in the demo). The amp responds to tube rolling quite nicely. At the dealer's counsel, the amp was upgraded with a matched quad of Gold Lion KT-77s and matched pairs of JJ electronic 12au7 and
12ax7 tubes at a cost of just over $200. From Tone Audio's description: LM 211IA EL34 push pull integrated amplifier. Ultra linear and triode switchable.
-15 watts per channel in triode
- 32 watts per channel in ultra linear. Remote controlled (volume and mute)
Adjustable bias with built in meter (easy on-board bias).

All point to point wiring used throughout.
