Luxman M 4000 Amp

No real problems with the amp design, other than age. Tim de Paravicini design, IIRC. And he's no idiot.

Rebuilds for all of them, is what is in order.

Re-capping by an intelligent experienced tech that is half audiophile designer.... is probably the way to go. I’ve worked on a few of them, from that angle. Decent sounding amp, good looking. Changing out a few of the parts other than the caps, etc.

That's my plan. Have a great guy in Va who is excellent.

You must have had a lemon.  Those were and are really sweet sounding, and from memory very robust..

I was able to acquire a M 4000 that was recapped, totally serviced and working great for a reasonable price. Took just over a month. I am so excited to hook it up. It will look and sound great with my M 2000, C 1000, T 110. PD121 and DZ 90 Luxman vintage gear. Had a friend pick it up. Will meet him halfway next week for a handoff. Did not want to ship it. Thanks for the advice. I searched over 8 audio sites to find the right fit.
