Luxman LX33 Integrated Tube Amp. YEAH? NAY?
Perhaps the Russian Tube Preamp disaster will lead to this different solution:
All Tubes in one shot.
Luxman Vintage LX33 Integrated Tube Amp for: Small Office system: TT (MM); R2R Tape (line); Computer (line).

YEAH? NAY?
30 wpc Enough Power? I think so. I would go Luxman pre-out to self-powered sub's line-in first, then sub line-out to LX33 Main In: so the LX33 and Wharfdale 225's (low 87 sensitivity) would not need to produce low bass.
This LX33 and other Luxman's are Shallow Depth. They fit on top of my 3 shelf high bookcase, next to my Vertical TT and Vertical R2R deck (nicest no-bend operational height I ever had).
The Fisher Mono Blocks are also 30 wpc. (35 wpc if I want to get EL37's, no thanks, I'd rather eat).
Not the wood look like the Russian preamp or even nicer Luxman Preamp 35iii,

but the LX33 Brushed Metal finish next to the Grey Mistubishi LT-5V are compatible.

thanks as always for your help,

Good idea, but Nope. It really is minimalist: remote: vol; mute front: power; vol; meters; meter on but their lights off; phone jack; line straight which I use. (bypasses balance, bass, treble). top deck front: balance; bass; treble; phono mc; phono mm; line: 1,2,3 that’s it. I cannot see the top deck from my chair, I forgot it had balance, I wish balance was on the remote. for the rare tweak some tracks need. I can always get that thru the Chase, but for now I’m skipping it. Balance is more important in the main system anyway. It's gonna be fun to watch the R2R meters and the Luxman's meter's simultaneously, Tape deck showing content volume, Luxman showing related power needed. .................................. No matter, it has plenty of power for this room, and the sub takes the low bass prior to the wharfedales like before, a nice extended sound. Received and listened to this here yesterday, from Slovania, a great test of bass blend/extension. Terrific. https://www.discogs.com/sell/order/3064922-12135 Phono: the built in MC/MM a big reason I bought it. I’m loving it’s sound, and will get another AT33ptgII for up here for my birthday ..., using AT440ml MM now with near virgin OEM Line Contact. ........................ I put the Chase RLC-1 back in, only for remote power, that way I can leave the Luxman and Sub on. .................................. Had I realized in my haste, I might have passed, so, it’s a happy/lucky mistake. |
