Selling my beloved Line Magnetic Integrated. This amplifier will change your understanding of what tubes are capable of. The SET magic can now be heard with even somewhat inefficient speakers like my ATC SCM40’s. I bought this from a friend who bought it new from Gig Harbor Audio. I can’t say how many hours are on it as I’m the second owner but I never used the stock tube for any significant period of time because I have numerous tubes for this amplifier after owning the previous version (508IA). 

This will ship in the original box, with power cord, tube cage/cover, remote, original tubes, and protective foam. The only condition issues are that the power LED on the front of the amp is out and the (-) and (Volume) lettering on the remote have worn a bit as pictured. I have listed it as 7/10 just to draw attention to the minor issues. The amplifier doesn’t have any scrapes or dings that I could find 7/10 is just to be conservative about condition. 

This will ship with the original tubes and footers installed. The Shuguang Black Treasure, TJ Fullmusic tubes, and HRS Nimbus footers are not included. I will be selling my tube collection separately. The first photo shows the original Line Magnetic branded tubes.

I’m a big Line Magnetic fan and have owned both versions of this amp. Let me know if you have questions. 

Overview:

The Line Magnetic 805iA uses single-ended triode 805 tubes and operate in pure Class A. It delivers 2x48W power. It has 3 unbalanced line inputs, 1 bypass input and 4, 8, 16Ω output groups. The rear-illuminated front panel meter is used to adjust the polarization of the tubes.

The use of high-quality components (Mundorf N-Cap capacitors, ALPS potentiometer) wired in the air for the most part is the guarantee of exemplary reliability. Its power and current capacity allows it to manage a very wide range of speakers. The use of the legendary triode 805 offers a listening to an unusual musicality.

Questions for the seller
Can you tell me what 805 tube brand is pictured in the last photo, the one standing next to the vinyl set? They don't look like 805 tubes that I know of?
Those are TJ Fullmusic 805 CNE tubes. They are huge and beautiful with a gorgeous midrange. The lower end gets a little loose with them and that’s where the Shuguang 300Bz comes in. Really fun amp. I have one new unused pair and one pair with maybe 300 hours.
Picture of the back and top please--thanks
Done. Thanks for asking.
Why are you selling it?
I have had several amps over the last six months. NAD M33, Rogue Medusa, Pass INT250, Mcintosh MA5300, Marantz PM10... I have had and sold lots of amps so it’s just common for me to keep them moving. This one has been my go to no matter what else I had on hand but I picked up a Decware for my second system and now that I have a tube-based main system and a tube-based second system I think I’d rather just have one tube system and one solid state system. This amp and the Marantz PM10 sound a bit alike so whichever sells first works for me.
