LUXMAN 58A - anyone

[r-l-b]

Have only been able to find very little written on this great amp - most of it has been in Japaneese - so only the date specs. have made any sense to me sp far. I really like the amp and the sound is much "fuller" than on my Luxman L-120A and M-120A and L-435 Does anyone in this fine forum have any written on the 58A - an old test/review - newer comments etc.
For those of you who do not know this amp - if you like warm and full almost tube sounding vintage solide state amps this one is a good starting point - almost as weet sounding as the old 1970erlies Sansuis like the little AU 555 a but with mmuch more power and control

most of the way down the page:

and this one:

I haven't seen too much other information on this unit. Maybe asking at the Yahoo Luxman group will bring some more information.

I'm curious what the differences are between this L-58a international unit and the L-580 which looks the same on the front and was available in the US.

I own one since 1987; I also think it's a great sounding unit, maybe one of the best Lux
transistor integrated ever.
