Lehmann Audio
Lehmannaudio Vertriebs GmbH was founded in 1988 by the young student of audio engineering, Norbert Lehmann, in Cologne, Germany.
During his audio engineering studies, Norbert Lehmann was listening to two amplifiers with identical technical specifications in a direct A/B comparison. He found it really amazing how much they differed in sound quality: one delivered sound, the other one music. There he realised for the first time that good sound depends on much more than technical data such as power, distortion factor and signal-to-noise ratio. A passion for sound quality was born, and Lehmann Audio has been passionate about it ever since.
Lehmann say: “In everything we do we want to preserve the pristine sound of the musical piece. We have devoted ourselves to the making of high-end audio devices which strive for perfection just as much as the artists whose music we enjoy. Even in the future we will keep only one thing in mind regarding the production, optimisation and redevelopment of our devices: you and your music.”
We think Lehmann make some of the best Phono stages available, and these are what you’ll find in our showroom. When we first came across them, we were very impressed and straight away bought into their philosophy and products, investing in a Decade phono stage to go with our best turntables and cartridges.
Lehmann Audio Decade Phono Stage (above) – £1,599
Lehmann Audio Black Cube SEII Phono Stage (below) – £925
From Lehmann’s entry level Black Cube Statement at £359, up to their top end Silver Cube at £4599, Lehmann have a Phono stage to match your ambitions. We have found them to be flexible and precise, with the capability to be adjusted to get the very best out of whatever cartridge you have.
Lehmann do not manufacture many products, so their attention is tightly focussed, enabling them to engineer the very best phono stages and headphone amplifiers. Come and have a listen in our showroom, you won’t be dissappointed!
