A toroidal transformer with a Z11 core for the power supply and the familiar point-to-point wiring live up to the Line Magnetic standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn triode mode, velvety and intimate; in ultralinear mode, punchier and more controlled – both directly comparable via the switch on your own system, without changing units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the LM-88IA for? (and who it isn't)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants to switch between two tube sound worlds without buying two amplifiers. Straight talk: if you can never settle on one sound, you'll love the switching – if you want clear-cut conditions from the start, you're often happier with a pure triode or ultralinear unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA two-in-one amplifier for listeners who like to compare for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircuit design: tube integrated amplifier, switchable triode \/ ultralinear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput power: 2× 30 W (triode), 2× 45 W (ultralinear)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube complement: 4× KT88, 2× 6CL8A, 2× 12BH7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 10 Hz – 50 kHz (-1.5 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD: 1% (1 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 87 dB (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput sensitivity: 180 mV (ultralinear) \/ 250 mV (triode) \/ 1000 mV (Pre-In)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 100 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker outputs: 4 Ω \/ 8 Ω \/ 16 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 3× RCA (line), 1× Pre-In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D): 430 × 220 × 365 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 19.6 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between triode and ultralinear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriode tends to sound softer and more intimate at somewhat less power, ultralinear delivers more control and power reserves.
