Luxman CL-38uC Vacuum Tube Control Amplifier
The CL-38uC uses SRPP (Shunt Regulated Push Pull) circuitry for all stages to achieve the highest sound quality possible. A genuine phono equalizer is included, the MC-low and MC-high impedance (gain) inputs each have independent MC transformers and are selectable using the MC impedance lever switch. Tone controls enable the listener to fine tune the sound quality. Refined exterior design and newly added balanced inputs make this vacuum tube control amp a new standard for its generation.
The CL-38uC's SRPP circuitry, used for the phono equalizer section, tone control section and amp section, ensures a flat frequency response and has other advantages, such as a low output impedance (300 ohm), low distortion and extended vacuum tube life. The elegant construction of such a control amplifier in a dedicated enclosure allows us ample space to mount a full complement of vacuum tubes inside, realizing clear and accurate musical expression and enviable sound quality which we feel will attract many music lovers and enthusiasts.
