Lindemann Audio Limetree MM/MC Phono II Stage

 

The new Limetree PHONO II from Lindemann Audio takes the highly-rated and awarded Limetree PHONO and further improves the internal circuitry for improved performance, especially when connected to an MC pickup. An added benefit for MC users is the customisable load impedance settings with the following values; 50R, 66R, 80R, 100R, 200R & 400R.

The Limetree PHONO II is Lindemann's statement for all vinyl friends. A high-grade preamp for your pickup cartridge. Using the latest technologies and parts they reanimated a circuit design from the tube amp era. The result is absolutely worth listening to! Look forward to an exceptional sound experience!

The Limetree PHONO II has two discrete input stages which are perfectly tuned for the respective pickup type. This ensures maximum sound quality with MM and MC cartridges. Installation is as easy as 1-2-3: simply plugin and you’re ready to go. Only for MC there is a variable setting of the input impedance between 50 and 400 ohms. The measured values of the PHONO are exceptionally good all the way. Noise and distortion figures are close to the resolution limit.

To put it briefly: sound quality and technology of this amplifier play in a class of their own. Rediscover your LPs!

 

Features

The Limetree PHONO II falls back on a circuit design from the classic tube amp era. But this concept is a completely new reinterpretation using the latest technologies and components.

The dual-stage circuitry with a passive RIAA equalization network uses the best J-FET amplifiers, which are currently available, and ultra precision resistors and capacitors from Japan.

The purely passive equalization has a significant advantage: the distortions in the bass range are much lower than with the usually applied circuits.

For a power supply, Lindemann use a “medical grade“ wall plug transformer which ensures a particularly good isolation from line disturbances. Together with the elaborated onboard filtering and special voltage regulators, they were able to realize an exceptionally low-noise power supply with a ripple voltage below 10 µV.

About Lindemann Audio

German maker of network players, streamers, amplifiers and speakers, developed with a focus on timing and power supply.

Lindemann Audio is based in Wörthsee, Germany. The company develops its products in Germany and has them made in Europe. Its series include Musicbook network players and streamers, Woodnote amplifiers and speakers, and Limetree network components, so you can build a compact system from one brand.

Musicbook covers network playback

Musicbook is the series of network players and streamers. It is the place to start if you want to play music from a network or an online service. Check the product page for the inputs and the file formats supported.

Woodnote and Limetree extend the system

Woodnote includes amplifiers and speakers, and Limetree covers network components. Together with Musicbook, they allow you to put together a system of source, amplification and speakers from the same maker. Check the product page for power output, connections and compatibility.

Development focuses on timing and signal integrity

Lindemann says its designs concentrate on timing, power supply and signal integrity. The company has worked on CD playback and resampling since 1998 and on streaming since 2012. Products are made by ISO-certified firms across Europe rather than in a single factory.

Why we stock Lindemann Audio

Lindemann moved into network playback well before most of the German establishment took it seriously, and they run their own streaming platform rather than licensing one. DSD upsampling is the house signature. We stock them for the customer who wants serious digital in a box that fits where a conventional component will not.
