Luxman M02

Good call Hazard,set a budget and stick to it.I have the matching C-02 preamp and while they are both nice units,they're not in the collectable realm.Good luck.

i had a luxman 120 mk2 amp that was overheating and shutting down.turns out it just needed the channel bias reset.

I have the MO2 and CO2 amp and preamp and they sound fantastic. I use them as a second stereo driving JBL Athena SC99s and Boston Acoustic A100s. Vintage 70s and 80s LPs sound soooo good. The current stuff, CDs, sound great, too. I've owned them since early 90s and had some work done on the MO2 (caps I believe)a couple years back. Luxman put out some great stuff and there is no way I will ever sell them! My advice is put some money into them and enjoy.

I owned a few Luxman amplifiers,
First: IMHO it IS worth having it checked out.

Now, the Luxman M-02 implemented the (liquid-cooled)
heat sink, if the unit has sat for very long, the (liquid)
could be dried up.

Sending the message to "shut-down" just my humble opinion.

It might be a place to start looking?

Love My Music!

Yeah, Bjpd57a1, my educated guess is the liquid-cooled heat sink having dried up over time. Once I get the speakers back, I'm going to pursue having the M02 repaired. I have no clue as to where to take it. The place where I purchase my new gear sort of turned their nose up when I mentioned bringing it in. They lead me to believe that older Luxman parts were difficult to find. I think they just didn't want to be bothered. I'll do a Google search for electronics repair in my area.
