I'm a fan boy the Luxman CL38U-SE. W/all tube phono. The phono has 4 step up transformers 2 for MC High and 2 for MC low. Mono switch, tone controls and tape loop. Art Dudley gave it a Class A rating in Stereophile. He ran it against his Shindo. Only 100 made and they are gone.
Might try a tube preamp
I’ve been toying with the idea of giving tubes a try and thought I would start with a tube preamp running to my SS amp and see how I liked it.
After reading reviews and looking through some of the posts here on Audiogon I’ve been thinking of a LTA micro ZOTL or rogue audio RP-7 - each around $5k. Thoughts on these?
Or would I be better off looking for something else used here on Audiogon? Maybe a ARC Ref 5 or LS-28? I’m pretty new to tubes so am open to options.
Thanks
