Lehmannaudio Chooses Symphony Distribution in the UK

Lehmannaudio has selected Symphony Distribution as its new UK distributor.

Lehmannaudio Vertriebs GmbH was founded in 1988 by Norbert Lehmann in Cologne, Germany. After 11 years in the pleasant town of Bergisch Gladbach, the company returned to the Rhineland metropolis in the spring of 2018.

We're told that, during Norbert's audio engineering studies, he conducted a direct A/B comparison of two amplifiers with identical technical specifications. Amazed by how much they differed in sound quality, he realised that good sound depends on much more than technical data.

That listening session sparked a passion in Norbert which has never ceased. His essential question: "How can I build audio technology so that it communicates the musician's intention as musically and faithfully as possible?" For him, this aspect is nothing less than crucial in developing high-end components. He adds, "When I finally learn that my customers are happy while listening, I know that all efforts are worth it."

Daniel Raggett, Director of Symphony Distribution, told StereoNET:

I have known of Lehmannaudio's products for many years. They have a great reputation, not only in the UK but around the world, winning countless review plaudits and numerous awards along the way. Having got to meet Norbert in Munich, it really enforced how much passion and effort he puts into designing, developing, and manufacturing his products. I am so pleased to now be offered the opportunity to represent Lehmannaudio in the UK. There is already a fantastic range of products available to the market, but with the addition of new products like the Isolation Base Platforms and Turntable weights, this will promote the company even further.

Lehmannaudio's Norbert Lehmann states:

Daniel had been recommended to me as having a strong focus on a rather limited number of brands. This inevitably leads to even higher customer satisfaction than before, which is our top priority at Lehmannaudio. Our products are made for sonic performance without distraction.

We have enjoyed both the Black Cube SEII Sven Väth Edition phono stage (above) and Linear USB II headphone amp (below) when they were reviewed by StereoNET and look forward to hearing more from the brand now that Symphony Distribution is handling it in the UK.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
