    Luxman K model help..

    I'm looking to match up my Luxman L-100 amp & T-110 tuner with a matching Tape Deck. What model for that period works? Seen the K-117 & 118, are those the correct match? Thanks!

    Would I regret replacing my vintage Luxman with NEW Luxman?

    I currently own (and love) a showroom-condition Luxman CL40 preamp, which I have paired with a recently recapped & restored M2000 power amp. I also have a recently recapped & restored C1010 preamp, which unfortunately I have no use for at this time. I absolutely love the transparent, magical...

    Luxman R-361 service manual needed

    I am looking for a service manual for my ailing Luxman R-361 receiver. I have found that it is not available on any of the common service manual download sites, so I am hoping to find an old hard copy from a Luxman repair center if possible. It is my belief that no other Luxman receiver is...

    Fuse Lamps for Luxman r800

    Got a good Luxman r800 in great shape, but the fuse lamps are gone. So is the fuse that leads to them. Problem is they are all odd sizes. 1. Fuse is 2A 250Volt, but tiny! But, I assume I can dig one up around Toronto. 2. Fuse lamps...seem to be 8V, BUUUUT, they are 2 inches long! Standard...

    Luxman R-115 vs R-117 and R117 recap project.

    I've had a 115 for some time that was recapped with Elna Silmic IIs and just acquired a fully working but unrestored R117 last week. Comparing the 2, the 117 sounds clearer and more authoritative, while the recapped 115 is smoother, but not as low/mid forward. Also, on vocals the 117 is...

    Pioneer PL518 VS Luxman PD277

    I currently have a Luxman PD277 as my main TT. A friend gave me a pioneer PL518 and i'm in the process of restoring it. (strip off the grey vinyl, replace with wood veneer.) What are the pros/cons to each TT? Which table should i use as my main setup? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Luxman R-115 Remote

    I recently acquired a R-115 from a local audio 'collector' who's thinning out his inventory. This receiver was advertised as being like new, and that's no lie! It really does look like it's recently been unboxed for the first time. Besides a little scratchiness at one point on the volume...

    Audio Research SP11 vs Luxman CL-35 MkIII

    Greetings. I am looking for feedback from those that have heard Audio Research and Luxman gear in their experience. I recently acquired an SP11 hybrid preamp with stock tubes. Plugged it in to the main system in place of a Luxman CL-35 mkIII, and instantly noticed a difference in imaging and...

    About to add the PrimaLuna ProLogue 4 to my Luxman CL-40, any advice?

    Upscale Audio has some killer deals right now on the PL4 and PL5 tube stereo amps. I have always wanted a PrimaLuna amp but was real hesitant to drop the $2-4k on the current Premium line. Turns out you can get a PL4 or PL5 for under a grand right now, so I am hoping it will be everything I've...

    Luxman K-118 w/ New Belts Won't Play & Won't Make Sound!

    Put new belts in this, now it appears the flywheel is operating correctly, however the tape will not play. It will play very slowly if I squeeze the pinch roller against the capstan. Check out the short video I made. I'm at a loss. The pinch roller / head assembly appears to engage...

    Luxman M-4000u

    I've been asked to repair a Luxman amp. (lucky me) The email I received listed it as a M-4000u. I can only find one reference to this model on the web and it is in a sales ad. Is anyone familiar with this model? How does it differ from the M-4000 or M-4000a? Thanks, Dave

    I bought a Luxman R1120a yesteday

    I wasn't looking for a receiver, but I've been perusing Craigslist for Luxman integrated amps, using "Luxman" as a keyword, and a Luxman R1120a receiver appeared there recently. After doing some research I found that it was a fairly rare bird, and highly thought of, according to some one of the...

    Opinions on Luxman Models

    Hey all. I'm after a luxman. Currently the SQ38FD is at the top of my list. Having said that, are there other models I should be looking at? As much as I like the new stuff, the vintage stuff is more in line with what's in my wallet. I'd also like to stay away from solid state (hence posting...

    LUXMAN L-505uX

    How to source one of these, lightly used, without importing it directly from Japan (apparently little to no recourse) or buying from a high-end dealership here in NA (astronomical prices)?? There seem never to be any for sale second-hand in the usual places. Mods pls move this thread if I'm...
