Hi Folks, Thought I'd take a stab and see if anyone has some clues. I have a Luxman L-100U and the right channel has no sound. What I've tried: - continuity tests on all (visible) fuses - not sure if there's any hidden anywhere else - relay appears to "click" and both visible contacts trip...

The auto return does work but with normal play the arm mechanism doesn't reach back far enough for it to trigger the auto return. Is there anyway to recalibrate this ?

Hello to you all, It is a good habit to introduce yourself when becoming a new member on a forum. Same here. Okay Here we go. My name is Auke Dost I'm an guy from Holland so i'm Dutch :) You all have heard about Holland (or The Netherlands) No it not the same as Amsterdam, we don not all...

I am trying to sell by Luxman R115 Receiver and my B&W DM602 speakers. Both are gently used and in great condition. Anyone have an idea of value for these?

Hello all, McIntosh C20 vs Luxman CL34 I currently have Monitor Audio GX200 (2 x 5.5" bass driver; 1 x 4" mid-range driver; 1 x ribbon transducer) and an Accuphase P300 amp with Primaluna Dialogue Premium Preamp. I'm looking for a different preamp as the PrimaLuna isn't doing it for me...

I'm about to restore a Luxman L1 that I got recently. The L1 was the simplest of the "Studio Standard Series" from Luxman in 1979. I love this amp because, while being simpler than the rest of the line, it is surprisingly slim for the time, and (when in good condition) punches way above its...

I got a Luxman L1 for free that looks like it’s been in a barn for the last 40 years. Several issues, but the most outrageous one is that somebody replaced the volume pot at some point and did a terrible job (see photos). The volume knob wiggles, can’t really adjust the volume precisely...

I have a new-to-me Luxman 1030 with all original components that works well and sounds good so far. While looking at the circuitry to evaluate if there were any clear components that had to be changed (leaky capacitors, darkened resistors, blackened transistors, etc.), I found the two only...

On the lookout for a pair of new, or rather vintage, speakers for my Luxman R-1040. Would love to hear from fellow Luxman owners what speakers have worked best for them, and why. Currently alternating (and sometimes running simultaneously) Monitor Audio Silver RX1’s and Pioneer CS-F51’s but...

Hello, I have some difficulties repairing a Luxman KX-101 cassette deck. I fixed a number of things including the suckface mechanism, now I am puzzled by one persistent issue that I strongly suspect is coming from the input stage of playback amplification. The symptoms are a static noise or...

Hi, I've bought a really nice LUXMAN PD-284 which sounds great but when I draw the arm over to start, the platter for the first time, it gets up to speed 33/3 or 45 fairly quickly. After that, I have to take the arm to halfway across (the distance of a 7") before it kicks into life. There is...

I'm testing some old equipment that has been in the family for decades, and noticed that several of the trim potentiometers inside the Luxman MQ68c amplifier have broken apart. They were Helitrim model 91 pots - some 5k and some 10k. I've done a bit of research and it looks like these are no...

Musician and music lover here, just joined the forum. I have some basic questions, most of which can probably be answered via links to other threads - I'm just learning the ropes of this message board. I love listening to vinyl but I'm concerned that I am not getting all I can out of my system...

Hi all, First, my apologies if I'm in the wrong forum. It's been many, many years since I've visited the site. Good to be back. A general question about repair and value. I'll try and keep this short. 5+ years ago I purchased the gear listed in the headline (minus the Luxman - that was a...

Hi everyone, New member here. I’m currently in the process of putting together my first audiophile stereo system. My father had a set of m5si’s in college and loved them - I did some research and just picked up a pair of used Mirage M3si’s. From what I’ve read they should sound great with all...

Hello all, I am new to this forum and seeking assistance with my Luxman RX-101 Receiver. I bought this brand new (my first purchase after getting a job in high school) in 1983. I used it up until around 2000 and then put it in a box for the past 20 years. I decided to dig it out this past week...

I recently bought a Luxman L-3 for a good price, without knowing anything else from the seller other than “untested, but it powers up”. Good enough for me! For a cheap price, it was worth the risk of getting an irrecoverable amp. The amp looked dirty but well kept, so I went for it. This will be...

I recently acquired and fixed up a Luxman L-430. It's in pretty fantastic condition aside from one bulb being out (which you don't even notice unless you have that function activated). Though it's a fantastic unit and the phono is literally the best I've ever heard, I'm considering selling it...

Hi, I'm trying to decide which capacitor to use to replace the big filter caps in a Luxman L-3. The original ones are two 6800uF 50V Rubycon caps. After much reading, I've decided I'll replace them with 10000uF 63V capacitors, and from the available at Digikey I've narrowed down to two: a...

Hi everybody, I’ve been a bit obsessed with audio hardware since a couple of months ago, when I found a pristine abandoned Marantz 1050 on the curb next to a neighborhood garbage container. I remembered my dad used to say Marantz was a good brand back in the day, so I took it home, plugged my...

There is a guy on Kijiji in the Toronto area that goes by DYNACO DAVE. He has ripped me off and a few others in the area. He comes across as a nice old man or it's his sons helping him sell stuff. The tuner I bought from him was promised to be in excellent working condition and when it arrived...

HI there, I have a nice luxman L30 that was restored that use daily! I also picked up one cheap from Kijiji that has a bit of scratchy noises and is completely original never been serviced. I would like to do the upgrade on the Hans site with the exception of that annoying blue led. Would like...

I am rebuilding a KM-Q7 and just realized that the first ,the big one, resistor may be burnt. The code reads tiel,brown,grey or blue,yellow. It measures 633 ohms which has nothing to do with the color code.It bridges a dual section 100mfd cap.,coupled to the second cap., which is a dual 50mfd...

I was wondering if anyone has experience mounting a Micro Seiki MA-505 on a Luxman PD-441/444/555. Looking at the PD-441 user manual regarding tonearm bases, Luxman recommends plate TP-MT for Micro Seiki MA-505 and other "tonearms whose arm-base is fixed by 3 screws". Looking at a MA-505...

I bought a R-115 and a pair of ADS L780/2's about a year and a half ago. Both are in mint condition and perfectly operational, except for lots of noise in the R-115's volume control. I eventually upgraded my system, and the receiver and speakers sat unused for several months. Fairly...
