Lehmann Audio Decade Jubilee
We at Lehmannaudio love challenges. It’s our special ambition to make something really excellent still better in a clear and sustainable manner. Now we proudly present our Decade Jubilee phono amplifier which catches up impressively with our top of the range model Silver Cube.
Even for the most demanding pleasure listeners the Decade Jubilee raises playing back of records to a new level. To this end it has got the entire passive RIAA network from its big brother Silver Cube – for an infatuating music reproduction. Owing to the available customising options, even the most exotic pickups will find their perfect game partner in the Decade Jubilee.
Ease and playfulness that will get under your skin
Thanks to its powerful discrete output stage the Decade Jubilee can show off with all its sonic assets even when using long cables. The reproduction is clear down to the finest details and characterised by an effortless ease.
And it’s also easy to operate: all important functions can be switched conveniently via toggles on the front panel of the audio section. Inside the device the signals reach their destination in dual mono via one relay per channel. This clearly improves the crosstalk behaviour and helps to keep the signal paths short. Hence you will enjoy your music in an even more 3D-like and immediate way – as if you were at a live concert!
With the PWX II LC power supply the audio section has an adequate support by its side. Due to the significantly increased use of copper and an elaborate capacitor upgrade, the revised power pack is now an appropriately sovereign energy source. This enables the Decade Jubilee to handle transients even faster. Both the audio section and the power supply rest on the 3S feet that were specially refined by Lehmannaudio and bring total calmness into the sound image.
No matter what kind of music you love – the Decade Jubilee will enchant you with its clarity and truly touch you!

Value for Money

With a quiet noise floor, poised soundstage depth, and finely judged tonal balance, the Decade Jubilee turns vinyl playback into a polished, immersive event. HiFi News praised its exceptional MM and MC performance, while SoundStage Solo admired its neutrality, spatial realism, and natural dynamics.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Exceptionally quiet backgrounds reveal low-level detail and keep playback clean in both MM and MC modes.
Wide, deep imaging creates convincing three-dimensional space without sounding artificially forward.
Highly flexible gain and loading options make cartridge matching easy, with MC cartridges especially well served.
Excellent build quality and vibration control give the two-box design a refined, premium feel.

Cons
The bass roll-off filter is quite aggressive and can remove too much low end for some systems.
Its relaxed, slightly soft transient presentation can sound a touch polite compared with more incisive alternatives.
The price is high, and some listeners may prefer the less expensive standard Decade instead.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 92/100
Reviewers consistently describe the Decade Jubilee as quiet, neutral, and highly resolved, with a well-balanced presentation from bottom to top. It is praised for rich detail, convincing space, and a refined, musical character that stays composed even with MC cartridges.
Transparency Noise Floor
94/100
Multiple reviews emphasize a very quiet background, with one calling it 'super quiet' and another noting an 'impressive' suppression of background noise with 'lack of hiss' and no audible background during playback. The reviews also credit the circuit and power-supply design with rejecting hum and interference well.
Tonal Balance Musicality
91/100
The tonal balance is repeatedly described as neutral, color-free, smooth, and well-balanced, while other reviewers hear a slightly relaxed, darker, and more organic presentation. That combination seems to trade a bit of overt sparkle for a pleasing, natural listen.
Dynamics
88/100
The stage is regularly described as controlled, taut, and musically alive, with good rhythmic flow and strong bass grip. A few comments note that it is not the fastest or most overtly explosive performer compared with more expensive references, so its liveliness is excellent rather than hyper-aggressive.
Soundstage Imaging
93/100
Spatial performance is a clear strength: reviewers mention three-dimensional images, convincing placement, fine depth perspective, and a wide, deep stage that extends beyond the speakers. It does a particularly good job of revealing acoustic space without becoming artificially forward.

Cartridge Compatibility
91/100
The Decade Jubilee offers MM and MC support, four gain settings, selectable loading, and a custom-load option, so it can be matched to a wide range of cartridges. Reviewers also note that it pairs especially well with MC designs, while still delivering a very strong MM performance.
Build Quality
89/100
Reviewers describe excellent fit and finish, solid metal casework, good chassis-mounted RCA jacks, and carefully considered vibration control in both the unit and power supply. There are few complaints here beyond the utilitarian labeling and the need to consult the manual for connections and settings.
Value for Money
86/100
The reviews acknowledge the high asking price and note that some buyers may find the jump from the standard model hard to justify. Even so, reviewers also frame it as a no-compromise option and praise the performance strongly enough that the price feels defensible for listeners seeking this level of refinement.
