SQ-38D
(1964
- 1965)
"Released in 1964, the original SQ-38D
became so popular that at the time it was synonymous with hi-fi
amps. 12AX7 and 12AU7
tubes are used in the first and driver stages respectively. Output
tubes are 6BQ5 [6RA8
originally], while the power transformer is OY-14
type.
The number of inputs is increased to five to accomodate a greater
number of sources available today, but the functions and basic design
are the same as the original masterpiece."
(Luxman leaflet for the 1998 Japanese market reissue)
Does anyone know who designed the SQ-38D
and its WZ-30 tuner companion?
