Product Summary
PLEASE GET IN TOUCH IF YOU WOULD LIKE A CUSTOM WOOD FINISH.
The Lehmann Audio Linear SE is a premium headphone amplifier and preamplifier designed for listeners who want a more refined and more ambitious version of the already highly regarded Linear. Built in Germany and developed as the special edition step-up model, it is aimed at customers who want serious private listening performance with a more luxurious internal parts specification and a more bespoke overall finish.
What makes the Linear SE especially appealing is the way it builds on the proven Linear platform rather than changing its core strengths. It keeps the straightforward, sound-first approach of the original design, but upgrades key components throughout, including Mundorf capacitors in the power supply and signal path, an AHP fuse, Mogami internal cabling, SSC feet and a revised analogue board in Low-Z copper on the current mk II version.
The Linear SE is also flexible enough to sit naturally in a wider hi-fi setup. Alongside its dedicated headphone amplification, it can also work as a preamplifier, making it a strong option for customers building a compact but high-quality system around active speakers or a power amplifier. It is an excellent choice for anyone wanting a serious headphone amplifier with a more premium specification and a genuine sense of occasion.
