Product Description

The Limetree HEADPHONE is a high-class headphone amplifier for all music lovers who want to get a higher resolution and more tonal colors from their headphones.

It amplifies purely in the analog domain for superior quality with the smallest of signals and/or when listening at soft volume. High-current output stages in class-A technology guarantee a reproduction which is both punchy and precisely resolved. For true connoisseurs!

Features

Beside three inputs to connect e.g. network players, CD players or a phono preamp, the Limetree HEADPHONE offers a headphone output and a line output to control active speakers or a power amplifier.

Almost any headphones of 20 to 300 ohms can be driven with great sounding results. A setting device on the bottom of the housing allows to adjust the volume level to the respective headphone impedance.

Technology

We have put a good deal of detail work into the circuit design. Very short signal paths, finest components and an extremely clean supply voltage make this amplifier what it really is: an essential tool for headphone freaks.

The analog volume control comes from the studio sector and is currently representing the measure of all things. It ensures a very high resolution and minimal losses with low-level signals.

The current amplification is provided by completely discrete "diamond" buffers working in a non-feedback class-A mode. In terms of sound these are wonderfully agile and detailed and deliver very good dynamics values.

As power supply we 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, we were able to realize an exceptionally low-noise power supply with a ripple voltage below 10 µV.

About us

For the development of our products we can fall back on a wealth of experience gathered in more than 25 years of building loudspeakers, amplifiers and digital sources. At LINDEMANN new products are created by means of the most advanced design tools and measuring methods. In doing so we use, of course, the latest and best technologies on the market. Yet the sonic outcome is always of prime importance; our ears are the key measuring instrument!

A careful optimization of all circuit details and a target-oriented selection of top-grade parts build the basis for every genuine high-end product. It takes a lot of meticulous work here to understand all sound influences and optimize the result accordingly. On the highest level real progress in sound quality can only happen through a deep insight into the correlations and a consistent implementation in the circuit design.

Our products are developed by a passionate and experienced team of engineers in Germany and made exclusively by ISO-certified firms all over Europe to meet the high quality demands of our customers. Prior to packaging and shipping, every single device is put to a thorough final inspection.

But above all stands the passion for music and well-engineered technology. Only when merged this way the result are products that are entirely convincing.

Albert Einstein once said:

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."

With this aphorism he hit the nail on its head.
