WHY LIMETREE?

Did our chief developer Norbert Lindemann come up with the idea for this series under a linden tree?
Not quite. “Limetree” is simply the English word for the German "Linde" – hence the linden leaf on the top panel!

But more importantly, Limetree reflects our philosophy: less is more.
By focusing on the essentials, we were able to concentrate entirely on outstanding sound quality and an optimal user experience.

The Limetree series makes a clear statement – in every respect.

SMALL BUT MIGHTY.

Lots of components and a big chassis aren’t a guarantee for great performance.
In fact – quite the opposite is often true.
As electronics continue to miniaturize, compact high-end products are becoming more and more powerful.
That goes not only for smartphones, but for audio devices as well. And as a bonus, they consume far less energy.
Our Limetree PHONO II, for example, draws less than one watt of power.

IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER.

Don’t believe it? But it’s true. These devices offer unmatched sound fidelity that makes audiophile hearts beat faster. Noise and distortion levels are close to the resolution limits of modern measuring instruments.
Only the very best components from around the world are used – all in a price class that’s simply extraordinary.
How is that even possible?

Because sometimes, less truly is more.

“Small is stylish – and even smaller is even more stylish.”

Michael Bruss, Fairaudio

“Never has so little sounded like so much.”

Roland Kraft, Stereoplay

"There would be no reason to be embarrassed by having a Limetree as your phono stage even if you owned a £10,000 turntable."

Jay Garrett, Stereonet UK

"All I can truly say about the Limetree is that great things really do come in small packages!"

Rufus Smith, Enjoy The Music

“You won’t get more – not even in a chassis weighing a ton.”

Matthias Jung, HiFi Statement
