    Luxman 5L15 with shorted transformer...replacement?

    Hello all, I have a Luxman 5L15 in for service, but someone has already worked on it...and cut some wires, fiddled with this and that. A loose screw rolling around in the chassis. A mess. It has a hard short and has blown the main 5A fuse under the chassis. All other fuses are intact, including...

    Hi, I am recapping a Luxman R-1030 for a friend and have two small questions. There are elco's in a type of housing I have not seen in my previous recap projects: little blue elco's. Are they also to be replaced? (see picture) Second question: The schematics I have from this amp (from...

    Luxman K-373 opinions please!

    Hey guys, one of these came up for sale locally and I’m wondering if anybody can speak to how good this deck is. Says 3 heads and a bunch of tech jargon but is it a hi fi piece? Looks gorgeous and would suite visually match well with my other Luxman pieces. Guy probably wants too much for it.

    Luxman L-5 Mixed Reviews?!

    One of these in amazing condition came up locally and I’m intrigued, as I’m a Luxman fan. However, I’ve read mixed reviews on the sound quality (one reviewer claimed it had less soundstage/detail than an older marantz which boggles my mind). Build quality looks a little below the champagne...

    Can Using the Preamp Section of an Integrated Amplifier Compete with a Preamp?

    Hi all, I fell upon a Luxman Power Amplifier and didn’t have a preamp so I have been using my Luxman L-410 preamp phono out for temporary use with it. Preamplifiers seem scarce in Vancouver is it essential that I find a good matching preamp for competitive sound quality?

    Cannot make any sense of this problem

    Using a Luxman L-80V that was recently taken apart and refurbished - caps, transistors, the works. Was running beautifully for a while until I went away for two weeks so it sat without use. When I came back upon powering on it produced a very loud and variable hiss that eventually died down...

    Should I stay or should I go now? (Pioneer vs Luxman)

    I have a Pioneer SX-880. It was bought a year ago for $125. It needed some repairs which cost about $225. There was no recapping of any sort, just a bad channel. I also have a Luxman R-115 a friend will sell me for $200 with remote. I have been using the Luxman for over a year (nice friend) and...

    Here I am, listening quite happily to the new 180 gram pressing of The Birth of the Cool. But getting there was a TRIP!. 1. System I started with: Sony's first digital preamp, something with an ES in it from early 90s, 2 Sony TA-N330ES amps strapped mono, a Sony ES tuner that was kinda...

    Upgrade Advice: Denon PMA-520 to ???

    Why does Luxman recommend installing different capacitors?

    For some reason, Luxman recommends installing different capacitors C506 and C507 (30000uF x 71V, 15000uF x 63V) in the power supply of Luxman L-503 amplifier. I installed two 22000uF x 80V capacitors. One of them started leaking after 5 hours of using. Possibly bad Chinese quality. Now I have to...
