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.

Just a thought, but...

Before you judge a person, walk a mile in their shoes

I am looking at this to drive my Sonus Faber Il Cremonese.  Does the unit have Home Theater Pass through?  Do you use it with Roon?  Are you able to use the Roon volume control to manage the volume?  Does it hurt the sound?  The unit looks great, but I need Home theater pass through.  What Amp you using?  Are you still happy with the unit?

@hiendmmoe  That's the update now on the soundstage.

Also can you bear with the no remote pre?
