A Luxman SQ-38U integrated valve amplifier...
Well my wife wasn't too happy about me selling it, that's for sure.
She loved the thing. :)

I hope you're enjoying it!

Wow, you must have found something very nice to sell that luxman! May we ask what replaced it?

At the moment I'm using a DIY rig, DCB1 pre with dual mono solidstate power and AudioSector phonostage.

How do you find the phono stage? I have his DAC, gainclones and used his F5 boards etc. Always an admirer of his.

I love it. Very low noise floor with great clarity and detail coming through.

It's a very different sound to his DAC (which I also had until recently) which can be a little flavoured and rose tinted.
