Oh yeah, I made an offer last evening for a 2 month old Luxman SQ-N150. Current Model, Integrated, MM/MC, 10 wpc, remote volume, small, fits on bookcase easily.

Far more than I was thinking, I justified it this way: I'm pre-spending the money I'm gonna get when I sell around 3,500 LP's.
Not vintage, no wood, but will be cool looking between my Grey Mitsubishi Vertical TT (they look like metal, but are painted wood) and Black Teac R2R.
Damn thing has internal bias like my Cayin. The one I'm after has original tubes in original position which luxmanamerica advised me to verify. USA voltage.
I asked Ryan at Audio Classics about them, he said this:
"As far as the SQ150, that is a great unit. The Luxman has been very popular in the past year. Very appealing to the McIntosh enthusiasts it seems. Sweet, never bright, and very very low noise. It would match very well with the Wharfdales".
