Description :
The Luxman C-02 preamplifier incorporates the renowned Duo-Beta Circuit/S into the simple single-stage amplification system, assuring superb audio performance. The unique bias circuit employs LEDs instead of diodes to provide speedy attack and decay. There is a warm-up indicator for stable, safe operation, abundant applications for special audio capacitors, and gold-plated input/output terminals to reduce contact resistance. It implements genuine class "A" operation for purest sound without crossover distortion and phono-straight to give perfect independence to disc playback. The MC transformer is used with non-oxidized copper wires for clean sonic quality. Powerful, stabilized bass and midrange reproduction is realized thanks to the slim but effective circular transformer offering excellent regulation together with select capacitors exclusively developed for audio purpose. The Luxman C-02 is suitable for those who seek a vintage system.
