Last night I adjusted the bias since I already have about 80 hours on the amp. Then I listened to a few songs and it was wonderful. |

Agreed that the Line Magnetic 805ia is really a joy to listen to. It is built like a tank and weighs like one too. Hauling this to the auditions of various speakers including the Magico A3 and the Daedalus Argos was not much fun but when the music starts, this amp really is special. Other amps that I have heard include the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP (at home audition for a week), Hegel 360, Naim XS2 and Supernait 2, McIntosh (various) and the one that I was most impressed was the Line Magnetic. This amp, in my system, was more enjoyable to my ears than any of those others.
The 805ia responds very well to tube rolling too. I have changed out all the stock tubes in favor of NOS or new issued tubes and the sound is even smoother and even more transparent than before. It just flows. Now, I added a tube preamp to the mix (just last night). The Don Sach's Model 2 is what I am using and from what I understand, the pre-in on the 805ia does not completely bypass the preamp in the LM. I don't understand all the technical bits but it is still very early for me to make a conclusion one way or the other. I can only say that I have not heard a big improvement vs not having a separate preamp yet. |

805 - Psvane Acme 805
300B - Emission Lab 300B XLS 6SN7 - NOS Tungsol 6SN7GT (round plates) 6SL7 - Mullard ECC35 The 300B made the least difference to my ears but I heard very evident improvements with tube rolling the 805 and the preamp tubes. |

Hi to all.
My first post here, and glad to be in this woderful Community. I'm not a native English speaker/writer, so please be patient with me. I'm living in Italy. I'm going to be a LM805 owner very soon - within this month, actually, and my very first move will be upgrading all its tubes with top selectected PSVANE ones, a brand I'm using with satisfaction since more than ten years. After done this, I will check how it will sound with my beloved, and trusted in years, AR 2Ax - I've listened to many speakers brands since now, but I liked no one, also because I don't love bass reflex units' sound. So.. please wish me well, if you please. With best regards. |

Welcome Jag! 2ax, wow, very cool. I had a pair of 2a in the 70s (the 2-driver version), and I still have an AR XA turntable I play occasionally. The LM is a very nice amp.

Thanks a lot for your kind, warm "Welcome aboard!", mates!
At Anton: I don't have - by purpose - high-end nor top stuff like yours. Lucky you. But I do love music and that music I love (pun?) listenting to, instead. My attention is driven all straight to that, nothing other matters. Here is why I am a very proud AR owner - 2ax are not prohibitive to be driven, as 3s instead. But I do know them very well both, the sound is of the same kind - it's just what I call "monitor". The real one, not that LS 3/5's, nad I have listened carefully to a huge lot of them, of any kind and brand available (15 perhaps). "They lack of high tones, instrumentally checked"? Oh, really? So I sure must have strange devices embedded in my ears for sure and I never realized that. Funny. Never went to Area51 or weird places the like in my life, though. Seriously. No will to start a flame of any kind, those above are my -own-and-personal-only impressions. I have seen where you are from, and my highest respect is owed to you - you and me know until too well why, I firmly believe. To all: let only me become the owner of that beauty, and... we will talk further about. Promised. With best regards. |
