    Vintage Luxman disappointment

    Hi all. I already read a lot through Luxman-specific forum threads. I went to pick up some mid-class Luxman gear, of which I thought it could outperform my modest existing gear. However, some interesting things: All gear came from same house, 2 area's: 1 area that actually had a set-up system...

    Hello everyone, I'm planning on buying a late 60s solid state Luxman SQ77T/II amplifier but I couldn't help but notice these odd speaker output connectors. Has anyone ever come across these and would know of an adapter to use normal speaker cable with them? Many thanks. Photo attached:

    Hey guys I’m rebuilding a vintage Luxman turntable which doesn’t have an arm but I’d like to put a reasonably priced and performing vintage tonearm on her. Has anyone used both of these arms? How did they compare? Characteristics/strengths/weaknesses?

    I'm a big fan of the Luxman LV-113, but mine died so I picked up and LV-111 I was told functioned and is just dusty inside (is it ever). I'm all new to this and stupidly did not ask to see under the cover before I purchased. The area I'm concerned with is the outlets which appear at the back of...

    Luxman VS. Luxman???

    I have a Luxman L-450 and have a line on a R-1050. Are they comparable, or very different? I know the R-1050 is a receiver and older. Just wondering how different, if any. Thanks.
