Line Magnetic is a Chinese company, based in Guangdong Province, China, and their products are gaining attention – and much interest – around the world. Tone Imports of America bring in Line Magnetic for the US market, and much of the range is now available here in NZ thanks to Turned On Audio of Onehunga.
The LM-211IA is second from the bottom in the amplifier range (there is a little 3wpc mini amp which comes in below) and it looks and feels just as beautiful and well built as its more expensive family members. It’s fairly compact, measuring 376 x 345 x 191.5mm, and will of course require plenty of ventilation because those valves do get hot (though admittedly not as hot as some). Weighing around 20kg, this all-valve integrated uses four EL34s for class AB push-pull amplification, with two 12AX7s and two 12AU7s in the input/pre-amp stage – great news for tube rollers, though the stock tubes sounded wonderful so I wouldn’t be rushing out to get anything new straight away.
