Luxman releasing a MC cart in Japan

luxman, Since the LMC1 is said by Raul to have an output of 0.1mV, it probably requires a SUT to work well with any of the Luxman phonopreamps I know about.  And perhaps some of those do have built in SUTs adequate to the task.  But you would need a voltage gain greater than the typical 1:10, for most MM inputs.  We are talking about matching a nearly 30 year old cartridge to a brand new phono stage, I guess.  Raul could probably say whether Luxman made a special SUT for the LMC1, back in the day, just as Ortofon made a special SUT (T2000) for its very LOMC cartridge, the MC2000 (.05mV).

According to the info the cart is rated a .04mv.  My Karat 17DX is .03mv. So it should work w/the internal phono on the CL38. The CL38 has 4 SUT's. 2 for MC high and 2 for MC Low.

yes, 0.4mV will works in your unit.

Dear @lewm  : Yes, exist at least 3 Luxman SUTs: 8025,8020 and 8030 that have different gain.

I owned the phonolinepreamp Luxman C-05 that came with two of those SUTs that are plug-in external to the unit.

Makes a good job but not at the level of the vintage Ortofon or Entré or Technics or Sony.

Hi , i bought from Raul his LMC1, is a very good cartridge, I use it with an Entre et100 SUT using the 3 ohms setting and an ARC ph3 phonostage and have more than enough gain no problem. According to vinyl engine and to what Raul mentioned me it has a diamond cantilever and not a saphire one as mentioned by edgewear.  https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_database.php?m=Luxman&mod=lmc1&t=mc&sort=2&Sea...=
