Decware Tori II vs. Line Magnetic 518ia


Anyone have any experience with these two, or any input at all? I currently own the LM and think it's a great amp. But I have always been curious about the Tori. On paper, it should be better. But that's not always the case.

Thoughts?

Well, I guess now that I think about it, they are both point to point wired, with high quality trannies. So maybe it's not better on paper. I know everyone who has heard one likes it. So maybe I'm just in the mood to try something new. The LM is certainly a fine amp and has beat out two highly regarded contenders so far.
Thanks for your comment Al. I will be driving a pair of klipschorns, so I don’t think gain will be an issue. Actually the LM has too much gain in my system. I never go beyond the ten o’clock position. But I won’t rule out putting an active preamp in front of the Torii if need be.
