Gratuitous, ridiculous, but...

Luvverly.

Luxman D-38u. Coming in October.

 

Why on earth make it look like a piece of tat from the 70's?

 

To match my tat of an amp (L31)?

I quite like the styling of Luxman in general.

 

I could live with it would match my amp just nice.

 

dev, please give me back my lux amp, i will buy it back,
nando.

 

This is the second time you've asked me to give it back. May I remind you that I bought it from you. You didn't give it away.

 

WOW - just looked at their products on their website. AMAZING. Build construction has made me drool.

 

Looks excellent, though I've never been keen on their liking for having little windows on the front displaying tubes.
Wooden casing is good IMO - something to caress and polish

Looks a little like the new-ish Yamaha amps and CD players. Very clean lines.

 

Think of the little tube as a handy built-in reading lamp for CD covers
Full wood wrap is de-rigeur for any self-respecting Japanese amp. Even when it really is Class A ;-)








30kgs of wood-encased, copper-wrapped A-class audiophoolia

 

That is stunning.
Only problem is that I'd be out there every day buffing that lovely case and facia. Actually that isn't a problem, more like therapy

 

Amp = job done



At least as long as I can keep this behemoth from 1990 running to spec (shouldn't be a problem for at least another 20~30 years according to Luxman)

 

Me want!!!

 

That looks stunning, I bet it sounds it too. I just took delivery of my Luxman amp this weekend, bloody hell its good. It does everything really well (inc. MM/MC phono and headphone socket) and all for £1500.00 (2 yrs old). Build quality makes the rest of my UK built kit look home made!!! See pics below -

Looks lovely Alan.
Very Accuphase.

 

I have been using mine for about 4 months now and love it,just cant fault it only problem is I like their older stuff and want to get some just to lust over is this sad?

 

Wow something Japaneese thats not a camera I feel some passion for!

 

The amp looks okay. The CD player looks like a pile of junk.

 

Tenson - the pic in the first post is a CD player not amp - forgive me if I have missed something here, not all pics show when I view from work.

 

Samantha, the picture in the first post is indeed a CDP. Simon is referring to the amp in Joel's later post.

I wouldn't worry too much in any case. There's no accounting for taste.
