    Looking to upgrade from Sansui to Luxman

    Hi AK, I hope to get some advice on amp choices For the last few years I've been very happily listening to a Sansui AU-666 (fully restored by TomB). Recently, I picked up a Luxman turntable that I am also extremely pleased with, in part because I think the styling is so beautiful. Ive since...

    Luxman L-100 woes

    I have owned this Luxman L-100U for about two years now and it seems this unit has been nothing but constant trouble. I know it was serviced before I purchased it and it immediately had problems. I decided to have it serviced by a long time professional and he claimed the last Tech did him no...

    Luxman M-2000 can't adjust bias

    Hi, I'm trying to find out why the bias on both channels can't be adjusted. The amp was recaped, I cleaned the relays which work fine (the first clicks within one second after powering up, followed by the second relay (which turns the VU lights on) 3 seconds after). The voltages going to both...

    Starter amp for the Sansui curious...

    So I keep reading about how great Sansui amps are and have become curious enough to maybe try one out. What's a good model to look out for? Let's say budget under $1000 (Australian) for argument's sake. (That's about US$750) Bit of background, I currently run a Luxman L85V into an old pair of...

    Sansui vs Luxman (au-666 vs r-1050)

    Greetings, I own both of these iconic pieces of gear but both need to be fixed up. I’ve never done a side by side comparison. Which is the better unit to keep? I have the matching TU-666 for the Sansui but tuners are mostly aesthetic to me. WPC isn’t a deciding factor just sound quality as I...

    Luxman M-2000 fuse lamps: adapting 6.3V models for 10V operation

    Hi, This amp uses longer fuse lamps of 45mm. As 41mm ones also fit, I wanted to know if someone used the common 6.3V fuse lamp. This one shows a 270 ohms resistor on the bottom side of the pcb, so I wondered if replacing it with a 430 ohms (or so) would do the trick. Or whether there is a 10V...

    Luxman R-1030 tuner issue

    Hi There Audio buddies, I am busy with a Luxman R-1030 and have recapped it completely. Is sounds very well and almost everything works fine except the tuner section. When it is set to FM-stereo, the right channel is less loud than the left channel. When set to mono, both channels are evenly...

    Luxman GX-101 Equalizer: Adding Memory Circuit

    Years ago, I bought a Luxman GX-101 equalizer to add dancing lights to my RX-103/KX-102 system. I wanted to have it come on with the system, so I plugged it into switched power on the receiver. To my disappointment, it could not remember settings when disconnected from power for more than a...

    Are more watts or tubes the answer?

    At a crossroads with my set up and looking for some ideas, opinions, experiences to help me decide which way to go next. My chief area of concern is my amp and speakers combo.

    Luxman PD-264 Loose Arm Mount

    Hello AK, Just got my hands on what I thought would be an upgrade to my first table, a DP-300F. It’s beautiful, it sounds good, but I am concerned that this tonearm mount seems like it’s broken or janky. There’s a surprising amount of plastic in the pivot and it allows for a lot of movement...

    New to the forums. I just bought a Luxman LX 104 integrated amp. It seemed to be working great and clean. Suck face is not working, thought I could just wedge it. Listening to CD player or Amazon music thru dragonfly dac works and sounds great. Sub woofer out works fine. BUT! The phono preamp is...

    Luxman RR-114a remote—disassembly question

    Brand new here—but I’ve already learned so much! I recently picked up a Luxman TP-114 tuner/pre-amp at a local thrift store for $30. Initially, I could get no sound out of it (via a Rotel RA-870BX amp) but soon discovered the culprit: missing jumper bars (thank you, AK community!). A couple...

    Thoughts on setting bias Luxman R-1050

    I have a mint original R-1050 that I am tuning up and I want to set the bias. My PB-1062 board has no fuses? They were jumpered out at the factory it appears as the solder points are undisturbed. Do I just cut the jumpers?
