Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

Even though your purchase did not work out, it is indeed good to know that he is an honest, honorable merchant. 

yes, it maintains my faith in mankind, which is too often hard to do.

seller just agreed, I just paid for the Luxman, whew, the torture of research, selection, optional ideas is over!

As it happens, my McIntosh preamp is with Audio Classics, so I will be able to use this 10 wpc with my main system to get Phono back while waiting. It will be fun to see how 10 wpc does with those very efficient horns. Still gotta move those 15" woofers, I’ll take it slow.

Then move the Luxman to office system as intended. For fun I will try 10 wpc to Wharfedale’s (only 87 sensitivity) without self-powered sub, but then go first to pre-out to sub, then back to amp main-in with no need for low bass, should help both the amp and the speakers do a cleaner job.

This is the lowest power amp I have ever owned/tried.

your post with this video is the bottom of page 1, so funny, as I often think it is the last post and click the video of Robert Plant the Russian Cave Dweller

Luxman will be here Friday. USA 3 days, Russia nearly 3 months.

When I ship to USA from St.Petersburg (Russia) it’s 10-14 days, you had a bad luck with your Russian seller.
