Line Magnetic Mini218 IA Single Ended Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier

Selling a Line Magnetic Mini218 IA single-ended vacuum tube integrated amplifier. Three watts per channel, single-ended design, pure class A operation. Uses EL84 output power tubes and 12AX7 input tubes for voltage amplification. One pair of RCA inputs. Speaker terminals for 4 and 8 ohm speakers are located on the back panel. Specially designed El transformers for the power supply and two El output transformers with wide bandwidth. Also has a front panel headphone output with 64 Ohm impedance.
Here are the specs from the manual:

• Power output: 3W per channel
• Frequency response: 10Hz - 50kHz (-1.5dB)
• THD: 1% (1kHz)
• S/N Ratio: 87dB
• Input Sensitivity: 210mV
• Input Impedance: 100kΩ
• Output Impedance: 4Ω, 8Ω
• Dimension (W×D×H): 175 x 190 x 132 mm
• Tube Complement: 12AX7×2; EL84/6P14×2
• Net Weight: 4.6kg
• Power Consumption: 45W

I don't have the original box, tube cover, or power cord, but I'm including an aftermarket five-foot long Pangea Audio AC-14 SE MK II C7 Signature power cord, which is a significant upgrade to the original one. I will also have the unit professionally packed and shipped so it gets to you in good condition and on time.

Unit is in excellent working and cosmetic condition. No scratches or marks to the unit's exterior. There is a spot or two on the front panel where the screened lettering has rubbed off, but it is literally a spot or two. The pictures give an accurate portrayal of the unit. I'm rating this a 7 to stay within the letter of the law for Audiogon ratings due to the spots of the silk screened letters, but this is the cleanest 7 you will ever find and would be rated an easy 8 or 9 if not for the letters. Interior (from what I can see through the bottom of the unit) is clean with no leaking capacitors or any other issues.

A note about the headphone output: The amplifier does not put its full complement of power behind the headphone output. It uses a separate headphone chip instead. I tried to run my Audeze LCD-3 headphones off of it and it did not work well. Perhaps the unit will yield better results with more efficient headphones.

Selling because I have five amplifiers and I need to cull the herd. This would be perfect for a desktop system with reasonably efficient speakers or for a larger room with high-efficiency speakers (like Omega, Decware, Zu, Klipsch, and others). It really sounds fantastic, with a full body and more power than you would otherwise think. If you need more than one set of inputs, it's easy to hook up an input box or a passive preamplifier to it.

Let me know if you have any questions about the unit and I will be happy to assist.
