The sound quality is everything. Not much effort to get up from your chair to adjust volume manually. Often you know the setting on the vol control for each recording, so you could just keep the vol control set and merely turn the power amp on/off. If you remember that a particular recording is mastered at a high vol, you could take the precaution of turning the vol down for that one, but many recordings are mastered at comparable levels, so that is not needed.
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.
