    Luxman d-380 - what do people think?

    Hey everyone! I’m eyeing up a Luxman d-380, but can’t find much by ways of reviews online. It fascinates me because not only does it look so beautiful, but you can switch between tube and solid state mode. My current CD is an Adcom GCD-750 in an Adcom stack with GFP-750 and GFA-555. I do really...

    Luxman R-117

    Hello AK'ers, Looking for some pointers on how to clean this switch, or at least get some F5 into it. The is the "CD Straight" switch on my Luxman R-117 receiver, and I'm thinking (hoping) it's just dirty. Pushing this switch in provides a direct connection from the CD input terminals from...

    Luxman MB3045 with XLR input?

    My Luxman MB-3045 monoblock amplifiers are 16 feet (4 meters) from the preamp in order to have short speaker cable runs. Single-ended RCA's are really not up to the task at that length, without spending an exorbitant amount of money. My BAT preamp has XLR outputs as well as RCA Has anyone...

    Does Luxman L-210 give the Luxman "sound"?

    One for sale locally and am curious to try a Luxman, but I have no idea if this will give me the Luxman "sound" that many love, or do you need to have a "higher end" Luxman to hear their signature sound? Also curious if the build quality is on par with Luxman's reputation, or did they lower the...

    No DC offset adjustment on Luxman L450 board?

    I'm tuning up a Luxman L-450 and the service manual calls to adjust DC offset by using the VR701 a and b points on the board (and VR702a/b) for idle current bias But opening the thing up, there is only VR702 and no physical point for VR701, but the writing is on the board What gives? Just...

    Luxman Suck Face Stack - My Restoration

    I've done my fair share of Luxman collecting and posting throughout the years, but I've always wanted something from the Servoface era, as I've heard some of the gear from this time, and it sounds extraordinary to me. I've owned a lot of components from the 'Brid' era, some early 90s stuff...

    Hi all, I’m dealing with an anti-skating issue on my Luxman PD-264. No matter how I adjust the dial (I’ve turned it fully each way), the tonearm consistently pulls toward the center.

    Inner groove distortion, caused by cartridge or tonearm mounting?

    I have a luxman pd-121a that I have mounted a jelco sa-350 tonearm on. I have mounted this arm slightly to far to the bottom left. I was able to correct this by mounting the cartridge further back on the headshell and using a protractor this seems to be ok calibration wise. However the turntable...

    Distortion in a Luxman SQ38F

    I recently acquired a Rohde & Schwarz audio analyser and decided to start running all the amplifiers I have through it. One of these amplifiers is a Luxman SQ38F that I recently restored, and that sounds amazing. I will start by saying that valve amps are not something that I am very familiar...
