Hey guys,
I sold (on eBay) a gentleman a Luxman R-1050. (It is a 1050, not a 1060 as the title States) The unit worked well when I had it. He received it and is saying that it's going into protection around the 11 o'clock position on the volume dial. (I had it on a set of Prestige floor speakers...
Hi there- i just got my hands on a luxman L-85V amplifier with blown output boards.
Upon getting it home, i have taken out the amplifier boards, and detached the output transistors.
I would like to totally rebuild the amplifier boards, there have been some warmth generated a couple of places...
Currently I am powering my Totem Acoustic Hawks with a Kenwood KA-9100 integrated amplifier. The Hawks are somewhat power hungry and while the 90W per channel from the Kenwood works well enough, I want more power. I have an opportunity to buy a Luxman C-02 preamp and two M-02 power amps, so...
I've been working on this amazing Luxman M-4000 power amp project for a while now. I got the amp fully intending to rebuild it and made it pretty far. I have done some recapping before and usually it's a paint by numbers affair. Once I hit this issue, I've been stumped. Little by little I'm...
Just like the title says, I'm looking for the transparent plastic cover which is located on the left side of the amplifier directly over the tuner LED lights. If anyone has one please contact me, thanks for reading my ad y'all :)
Hi guys
I'm new here but keen to learn.
I have inherited some Luxman Laboratory Reference Series components from my father in law.
I had taken an interest in vintage amps after reading this article and just being blown away by the beauty of these old designs...
Just purchased a Luxman R-1070. I knew it would need work ... but when it arrived I was horrified to find out the receiver had been packed in a single sheet of bubble wrap and a handful of peanuts.
Needless to say the 1070 rosewood exterior was torn off the unit ... corners crunched ... and...
January 19, 2016: The Original Systems
Hi everyone, I'm Nightwisher (TheNightwisher on other forums) and these are my systems. Before you judge the way my setups are configured, it must be noted that I am a college student and space is limited. I'll be a college student for another 3+ years as...
Hi everyone. I've got a Luxman MQ60 amplifier with rare 50CA10 outputs. There are a couple of other Luxman amps using these tubes, but not many. Luxman had the tubes made by NEC especially for their amps. What makes them slightly unusual is their 50V heaters (pairs are wired in series over the...
Hello,
I am working on a Luxman R-1050. I had it in a working condition, the only thing was that i measured a DC offset voltage of about 20 mV and therefor I replaced the 2 SA750 (Q101 and Q102) with perfectly matched KSA992FBU's in both chanels. While I was at it I also replaced the input...
Hello,
A few weeks ago i bought a Luxman R-1070, it had a blown channel, lamps not working...the works. So I have been very busy with my little project, and it goes remarkably well as I haven't tried it before. Anyway, the powerswitch is toast and I would like to try to install a relay instead...
Hi!
I just bought a Luxman LV121 amplifier and I'm trying to find specs and info about ir, but had no luck so far.
Does anybody know this model?
Thanks
I bought this new in Okinawa, Japan, in 1983, as near as I can recall. It used to put out 140 clean thumping amps into 4 ohms (AR 58s). Alas, it is fried. It works, but gets dreadfully hot, and the last repairman to work on it said it was all corroded inside, and that the last couple of...
