RE: Relationship between Line Magnetic and Triode TRV ?

Posted by RGA on January 4, 2017 at 16:02:48:
I spoke to the dealer in Hong Kong when I bought my LM 219 - Line Magnetic manufacturers (OEM) for several companies including Triode - however, LM makes their own amplifiers they do not sell the same Triode amp under their own name. A Triode amp has no equivalent LM amp for less money. Vincent/Shengya for example have the same amps/CD players and causes issues because the former states they originally design a product but that product strangely existed 4 years prior to Vincent being a company. So who copies who?

LM has two separate divisions - the classic series which is built on WE designs and the second half which is more mainstream like the Silver and Gold lines shipped to the US. They OEM for some other companies - I believe Unison and others. LM apparently (according tot he same dealer) hired the head designer of a big Chinese brand a decade back - Cayin.
