| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Al.-thanks for your response. I will get around to trying the other taps in that case. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Further question-I have been advised to try all of the impedance taps, 4, 8, and 16 ohm with my cornwalls. The cornwalls are rated at 8ohms, so that is what I am wired to right now but should I really, and is it really perfectly fine to run the 16... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles. Being the SET simple circuitry is a large factor in this magnificent sound, I am thinking why not stick with a true SET design phono like the decware zp3.. otherwise there is the bottlehead Eros with 50db of gain .. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 I have to add. When you see the amp in person, and especially when you feel the weight it possesses, your are at that moment certain that this amp cannot sound thin or weak. It is a true boulder, very hard to get out of the box even. The remote is... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles1/Joeinid.Thank you. I am very pleased, and relieved that I am this happy with the sound. I listened more last evening. The new ’Black Breath’ album was included.. For any listeners who enjoy heavy music, trust me, give this album a listen.... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 219ia has arrived....And it sounds..........Absolutely wonderful. The allure of this amp glowing in my listening space alone is mesmerizing. What a cool looking amp. The dynamics that I stated as somewhat lacking in my current setup with the 500wa... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 roxy,That is the path I'm exploring here, and hoping that it proves to be worth it. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Roxy- 500w SS mono blocks are about the last thing id desire to pair with the cornwalls, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the LM219 turns out with them. Im looking forward to things opening up and the mids really shining.charles-If I'm ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles-. Thank you for the hopeful and encouraging words. I am really looking forward to getting this thing. I will upgrade the cornwalls for sure. Mine happen to be Cornwall 1’s will the fully removable back, which makes them very easy to access... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Fjn-ill take a look. The zephyr is 'labeled' as a high output moving iron cartridge but I am not extremely well versed in cartridges, so I can't say myself, in regards to how much gain I may need. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Also: I will need a phono amp. I have not started researching them yet. I have a VPI classic 2 with sound smith zephyr 2 cartridge. It is a moving iron (MM). I would appreciate advice for phono amps! I dont need out of this world diminishing ga... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Happy Thanksgiving. (Remember, the indians were here first...No I’m not indian)So Ive got my cornwalls. 1980 horizontal pair. Heavy and solid walnut, in excellent shape for their age. Here are my thoughts on those in comparison to the outgoing b&a... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles. - I feel it is the way to go as well. I am told the 219 has a very 'dense' midrange, with a great grip on the bass frequencies. As mentioned above, putting in some new valves really opens the amp up as well. It is their flagship, suits a... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Iopscrl-i did consider doing just that. The mc225 retains value so well, and with its reputation, hard to argue it. The one issue is that it could take a while to off on maybe if that was decided. There are about 6 for sale on eBay alone right no... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Charles- it’s a daytrip to NY for me to sample them, so it’s hard to arrange. I may fit it in, but as it looks now, I am likely opting for the flagship 219ia. As we know a good bit of the soul in tube amps is in the transformers, and there is a re... |
