The LinnenberG ES30 is a high-end, fully symmetrical SYMTONE mono power amplifier, designed and hand-assembled in Germany. It uses a 1.5 kW power supply and delivers 250 W into 8 ohms, 500 W into 4 ohms, and 1,000 W into 2 ohms. Its architecture employs two closely coupled balanced amplifier sections in a push-pull arrangement, plus a separate virtual-ground amplifier to minimize ground-current contamination. The ES30 features ultra-low noise, a 127 dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio, total harmonic distortion below 0.001%, and wide bandwidth. RAL finish options are available. The ES30 is a mono amplifier and is normally used as a pair for stereo systems; the VS30 preamplifier/DAC and PS30 phono stage are separate products, not part of the ES30.
