Lehmann Audio Decade Jubilee MM/MC Phono Preamplifier

Lehmann Audio Decade Jubilee MM/MC Phono Preamplifier at Vinyl Sound, Canada

The Lehmann Audio Decade Jubilee is a phono amplifier that catches up impressively with Lehmann's top-of-the-range Silver Cube — available at Vinyl Sound in Canada. Even for the most demanding listeners, it raises record playback to a new level, inheriting the entire passive RIAA network from its big brother for an infatuating music reproduction. With extensive customising options, even the most exotic pickups will find their perfect partner in the Decade Jubilee.

Ease and Playfulness

Thanks to a powerful discrete output stage, the Decade Jubilee shows off all its sonic assets even with long cables, delivering reproduction that's clear down to the finest details and characterised by effortless ease. All important functions switch conveniently via front-panel toggles on the audio section.

Dual-Mono Signal Path

Inside the device, signals reach their destination in dual mono via one relay per channel. This clearly improves crosstalk behaviour and keeps signal paths short, so you enjoy music in an even more 3D-like, immediate way — as if you were at a live concert.

Upgraded PWX II LC Power Supply

The audio section is supported by the PWX II LC power supply. With significantly increased use of copper and an elaborate capacitor upgrade, this revised power pack is a sovereign energy source that lets the Decade Jubilee handle transients even faster. Both the audio section and power supply rest on Lehmann's specially refined 3S feet, which bring total calmness into the sound image.

Flexible Matching

Switchable gain (36, 46, 56, 66 dB), selectable input impedance, and a wide input-capacitance range (47 pF to 1,370 pF) plus a custom-load slot let you dial the Decade Jubilee in to virtually any MM or MC cartridge. No matter what music you love, it will enchant you with its clarity.
