The Line Magnetic LM-44 is a specialist, single-ended vacuum-tube line preamplifier inspired by the Western Electric WE-44 design. It uses a separate power-supply arrangement incorporating the LM-20B/20B concept and WE-series output transformers. The available manufacturer listing identifies a directly heated 101D/205D signal stage and a substantial tube-rectified power supply.
