Lehmann Audio Linear II Headphone Amplifier

Lehmann Audio Linear II Headphone Amplifier at Vinyl Sound, Canada

Everything that has made the Lehmann Audio Linear a legend since 2004 has now become even better — the Linear II lifts the qualities of this reference headphone amplifier to a new standard. Available at Vinyl Sound in Canada, it delivers detailed lucidity, effortless lightness even at high signal levels, and low-artefact reproduction of complex music. The Linear II completely redefines vividness in reproduction, so you can enjoy even the longest listening sessions without fatigue.

Powerful, Spirited, Sovereign

Combined with an elaborately designed PC board in Low-Z copper technology, the powerful Class-A output stage plays even more dynamically and takes you a big step closer to the music. Mundorf capacitors in both the power supply and the signal path deliver impressive room imaging and transient response, while 3S device feet ensure maximum mechanical quietness.

More Than a Headphone Amp

The Linear II delivers its ultimate performance not only with one or two headphones, but also when connected to active speakers or a power amplifier via its pre-out. Expect a punchy, authentic sound that's unique for a device of this size — with two headphone outputs on gold-plated Neutrik jacks for shared listening.

Flexible Gain

Four selectable gain settings (0, 10, 18, 20 dB via DIP switches) let you match the Linear II to everything from sensitive in-ear monitors to demanding high-impedance headphones, delivering 400 mW into 60 ohms and 200 mW into 300 ohms.
