Luxman C-5000A
(1979 - 1981+)

Luxman's most expensive preamp of the "classic" years that was to be mated with the updated M-4000A.

Super-gear with ultimate looks and build quality, strangely only briefly available and very quickly replaced by the C-300 & M-300 combo...
Increasingly present in the Luxman manufacturing processes, the upcoming Alpine owner probably didn't want too many very different assembly lines in its factories - this may (may) explain why the C-5000A venished very quickly.

According to well informed sources, this is a masterpiece.
