| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Mb1- not a problem, I understand. I realize you are trying to help and are advising me in a good way. Hopefully things work out to satisfaction. I will be switching up the source material. I will probably opt for the 219 and use its pre amp fo... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Came across this.. LM219ia with cornwalls. NO you cannot decyfer truly, the sound in this room. For all I know it is recorded on a phone. However with the bit of audible discernance that is realistic with videos like this, it appears, that this so... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Oh i see. Your honing in on the quality of sound reproduction that I may actually yield, not the production of unwanted hiss, hum etc etc. Basically, youre saying that due to the up and downs and impedance dips of the cornwalls, it may hinder the ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 As mentioned above, I just listened to a line magnetic 216 through la scalas 2 weeks ago. It was dead quiet. 90% of ppl running cornwalls, and there is a tremendous amount individuals running them, run them with tube amps. There are hundreds of me... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Al. Yes they are 60's Cornwall 2's so I presume are the earlier version, so 100db. Good to know | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 That is why i mentioned the LM 210ia as well. 8 w/channel with 300Bs. A guy about 2 hours away has one available at the moment. It is more power than I would need surely. Tonally, Im clueless how it would compare to the 219 or 508 of course. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Okay. I may arrange to have a listen to the 508 and 219 in the next 2 days in this case.. The closest retailer of the LM line did bring this model up on the phone, spoke very highly of it. I’ll have to see what my ears prefer. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 mbl. I see what you’re saying.. and I can’t dispute you, as it very well may create a lot of noise... I can say, I did listen to a line magnetic 216 loaded with gold lion kt88’s through 104 or 105db la scalas just 2 weeks ago and there was no hiss... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles, i didn't feel you were being argumentative with anyone. All is good! | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 migueca. I have considered this amp as well.. Had a dealer highly recommend the 508 as well. I may take a drive in the next 2-3 days to listen to the 219 and 508... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Mb and charles i am valuing both of your inputs! No arguments needed here! The marantz will be replaced as the next priority. Thus at this point i will be utilizing the integrated pre amp in the 219ia, and will be opting for a tube phono stage. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 jperry- i was intending to use the phono stage in the marantz for a moment, to soon be replaced yes. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 mb1, i do acknowledge your statements and realize that synergy between your equipment is vital. as far as the trimpots. i dont believe i could answer directly as to why they put trim pots on shindo amps. All i know is they are used for calibration... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles, i have read just that yup. The Psvane's aren't terribly pricey from what I've seen, so thats nice. I have read that the tubes it comes with are 'alright', but that things sure do open up with this circuit with a swap of some higher quali... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Thank you almarg. It is a factor I've kept in mind as well. Not that it is all to difficult to get the mc225 running well if it is not in top shape, but you do wonder if it is performing as it once did yes. On the other hand, I've got a 77' Marsh... |
