DECADE JUBILEE

Upgraded Decade phono stage featuring Silver Cube RIAA network, dual-mono relay routing and 3S device feet — FIDELITY Award 2022. The Decade Jubilee is a premium limited-edition evolution of the Decade phono preamplifier, celebrating Lehmannaudio's 25th anniversary with a significantly upgraded component specification. The passive RIAA compensation section uses the same Mundorf tin-foil capacitors as the flagship Silver Cube — a notable upgrade over the Decade's standard MKP capacitors. The dual-mono topology is extended further: six relays (versus three in the standard Decade) ensure a fully symmetrical, channel-isolated signal path throughout. The Class A discrete output stage and PWX II power supply are carried over unchanged. Gain is selectable (36/46/56/66dB); input impedance (47kΩ/1kΩ/100Ω/custom) and capacitance are independently adjustable per channel. SNR: 78dB MM / 69dB MC. Reviewed by SoundStage!

Technical background

The Decade Jubilee upgrades the standard Decade's RIAA network to Lehmann's Silver Cube topology — the same passive equalisation used in the flagship €4,799 phono stage. A dual-mono relay signal path improves crosstalk and shortens signal routes compared to the standard Decade, while front-panel toggle controls allow real-time gain and loading adjustment during playback without removing the lid.

Design story

Developed as a special edition to mark a milestone in Lehmann Audio's history, the Jubilee applies the Silver Cube's RIAA engineering to the more accessible Decade platform. It earned the FIDELITY Award 2022 and Stereoplay Goldenes Ohr 2023 — independent validation of its status as a genuine performance breakthrough.
