Luxman L-31

Circa
1 9 7 6 c.1976
1 9 7 7 1977

The L-31 is the more powerful and slightly later sibling of the L-30 ; team-wise, it also fits the T-33 tuner.

Hardware- and circuit-wise entirely identical :
dual-rail differential driver power supply, low-noise preamp, 2-stage DC with PNP/NPN phono stage, an impressive damping factor and cutie styling alternating aluminium and plastic knobs on a very elegant aluminium front surrounded by a luxurious rosewood enclosure.

The scripting is however very lightly silkscreened - beware when cleaning it up.


Nudies aplenty here.
