As good as the Luxman 590 A II Class "A" SS amp is, I was missing the tube magic.
I found a perfect, like new Luxman SQ-38 EL-34 based integrated for sale not too far away. I contacted the owner (great guy) and made a deal.
This is such a high quality piece of retro looking, smooth sounding gear I just love it. Packed with useful features. The headphone amp is supposed to be amazing.
It has ALL of the EL-34 sound that I have always loved.
For you visual types...
