Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp.


Took the plunge and went for Luxman’s new flagship CL-1000 pre-amp. My preceding unit was the c900u and it’s as good everyone says. So what are my initial thoughts on the CL-1000 with less 20 hours on it: pure path into the music with a naturism only one who hears it will be able to understand how good it’s. Startling when the music matches its powers of emotion it can deliver on voices, drums and every instrument the recording has to offer. As good as the C900u is the CL-1000 is clearly a big step up! Only two complaints: no remote ( they didn’t want anything to interfere with their new SOTA
volume control) and no mute button. I can live with these minor inconveniences considering what it brings to the table. I’m not a dealer or associate with Luxman in anyway. I’ll keep posted updates on the unit once it has been fully broke in.

I own the MQ 300 and would love to get the CL 1000 as I think it’s a perfect match.
I just got my CL-1000 2 days ago and I have been listening to it with the MQ-300 driving Devore Super 9. I thought the difference with the CL- 38uSE was going to be subtle but it is actually very noticeable. Sound is richer more controlled and more detailed. I am using the phono section with a EMIA copper SUT.
