Default You want delicious? The Luxman SQ-38u
Finishing up editing Steve Guttenberg's review of this little jewel. It got sent my way for photos, so I had to hook it up.

The Luxman and B&W 805D's are a fantastic combination. Great phono preamp inside too...

This could be the basis of a very sweet and simple system! It might have to stay...

Pair it up with the matching D-38u and you have a great little system!

I really think I need this amp. It's so nice and warm. Makes everything sound GREAT. Don't even need the Gotham.

The looks of the Luxman SQ-38u remind me of the Japanese integrated gear from the early 1970's. The build quality looks remarkable.

Reminds me of my fathers Yamaha CA-2010 integrated, and it had meters. The Yamaha was transistor that would run in Class A.

I'm thinking more like a pair of restored Quad ESL-57's...

My daughter goes to college in a year and I told her already, I get her room!

I think the Zu Audio guys favor this set up. Possibly at RMAF?

Gorgeous gear.
