Embrace the Legacy of Vacuum Tube Amplifiers
The LUXMAN CL-38uC is a custom vacuum tube control amplifier that brings together the rich history of LUXMAN's vacuum tube products with modern technology. Since 1961, LUXMAN has been at the forefront of producing high-quality vacuum tube amplifiers, and the CL-38uC continues this tradition.
High-Quality Components for Unmatched Sound
The CL-38uC is designed with SRPP (Shunt Regulated Push Pull) circuitry in all stages to achieve the highest sound quality possible. The use of high-quality transformers, blocking capacitors, and Nichicon made coupling capacitors ensures a supple, natural tone that audiophiles will appreciate.
Classic Design with Modern Features
Inspired by the golden era of vacuum tube amplifiers, the CL-38uC's exterior styling evokes a classic image. Modeled on the CL-35, released in 1970, it combines traditional design with contemporary performance. Balanced inputs, various controls, and a dedicated remote control make this amplifier a new standard for its generation.
Reliability and Longevity
Each CL-38uC undergoes a 48-hour aging process to ensure performance and reliability. The use of JJ Electronic vacuum tubes, renowned for their long life and reliability, adds to the amplifier's robustness.
Elegant Construction for Clear Musical Expression
The SRPP circuitry, elegant construction, and full complement of vacuum tubes inside the CL-38uC allow for clear and accurate musical expression. Whether you're a music lover or an enthusiast, the sound quality of this control amplifier will attract you.
Fine-Tune Your Sound
With the CL-38uC's tone controls, listeners can fine-tune the sound quality to their liking. The three-position switchable crossover frequencies for bass and treble tone controls enable customization to the desired tonal character.
