Fit & finish is exquisite; Luxman's craftsmen take great pride in both the aesthetic & sonic presentation.

Two Inputs
Luxman’s highest quality phono stage, allows the music lover to choose between two independent tonearm / cartridge inputs from the front panel. Adjustable input impedance.

Articulator (Demagnitizer)
Over time, the various parts of the inner assembly of moving coil cartridges experience a build-up of magnetic energy, resulting in a veiling of detail, even a loss of dynamics and upper-octave resolution. Demagnitizing the cartridge removes the excess, often bring back a cartridges sense of "presence" and "life".

We routinely demagnitize our moving coil cartridegs every six or seven months as general maintenance. We DON'T recommened this device for use with moving magnet cartrdiges, however.

Engage the "Articulator" switch, wait a few moments, and it's done!

Line Phase Sensor
Here is a clever device found on the back of every Luxman powered product. You press the button and it will check the phase of the electricity it is receiving. If the AC outlet in the wall is incorrectly wired, meaning the live and neutral are swapped, a red LED will turn on to warn you. You only need to press it once, when you are installing a product to check that everything is in order. Its a simple mistake, that occurs often, and one that can seriously undermine your listening enjoyment.

Luxman's Transformers are hand crafted in Japan for the North American Voltage.

Build-in switchable gain control, MC step up transformer uses a super-permalloy core to cope with low impedance cartridges.

E-200 has a cartridge demagnitizer switch (articulate) which demagnitzes the cartridge from the convenience of the front panel.

Cartridge selector allows one to choose between low or high output Moving Coil and Moving Magnet. With up to 63 dB of gain on hand, most low output moving coil cartridges will be easily accommodated.

Two Input switch allows one to select between two turntables or two tone arms.

E-200 is equipped with a mono switch and low cut (30Hz) switch to reduce subsonic energy (caused by wow) with various records. The woofers in your speakers will not have to work so hard, unnecessarily.

Beautiful aluminum front panel similar to what is found on LUXMAN's high-end series.

Since 1925, Luxman are not about mass produced products designed in Japan, then assembled in China from generic parts. Rather Luxman are designed in Japan, then each part is carefully tested & evaluated. Many parts are custom made for them which really does make these designs special. Apart from the shared Power Supply, the amplifier designs are usually dual mono. Even the transformers are made in Japan to their specification. Luxman select the color paint used on the resistors (to identify value & tolerance) based on extensive listening tests. The chassis are carefully tuned, both vibration and resonance are carefully controlled; they perform like a musical instrument. Finally assembly & testing is all carried out in Japan. The Japanese attention to detail is fantastic, the amplifiers come wrapped in a cloth shroud with elastic underneath, all of the RCA & XLR sockets are protected from oxidation with individual plastic sleeves. Even the power cord is a cut above the normal give-away and actually sounds good. No wonder Luxman achieve a superior sound.

Clearaudio has achieved this by using a simple, elegant and effective design. The fully dual-mono circuit features sophisticated surface-mount technology embedded within a compact, CNC-machined resonance-free aluminum chassis. An outboard power supply and high grade parts compliment ensures outstanding technical specifications and unheard of quietness within its price range.

The Nano phono features separate left and right jumpers for MM / MC gain selection and subsonic filter, as well as an adjustable loading option for MC cartridges.

The most recent addition to the Creek range is the OBH-15, combining moving magnet and moving coil Phono pre-amplifiers, into one diminutive chassis. Seriously impressive and offering audiophile performance, the new OBH-15 will augment any system.

The OBH-15 Phono pre-amp can now drive longer cables, due to its low output impedance. It has combined the high quality discrete semiconductor circuitry of the OBH-8 and OBH-9 input and gain stages, and added improved open loop gain by cascoding them, prior to the selector switch and combined passive RIAA circuit. Separate Burr-Brown professional grade low-noise op-amps are used for each channel, to buffer the output signal and provide a very low impedance drive to any pre-amp or integrated amplifier. The OBH-15 can switch from moving magnet to moving coil cartridges, via a simple push button on the rear panel. As it has two input circuits, optimised for each type of cartridge it allows for the connection of two turntables. A high gain MC version, for low output MC cartridges, is available to order.

The OBH-15 has a built-in high performance power supply regulator circuit which makes it immune from power supply fluctuations so, it can be used with the un-regulated OBH-1, 6 Watt power supply; but it will sound better with the regulated 12 Watt OBH-2, which is available as an option.

Internally, the OBH-15 has built to the highest standards using a glass-fibre double sided, plated through hole PCB and very high-grade components. The OBH-15 looks the part too! Designed to complement the Creek range of amplifiers, tuners and CD players, the new OBH range features an impressive 4mm thick solid aluminium front panel in a silver finish. The remainder of the 150mm deep extruded aluminium case is painted black, so the product all but disappears.

The OBH-18 was released in late 2003. The function of the OBH-18 is to boost the level and correct the frequency response of a low level signal coming from a moving magnet phono pick-up on a conventional turntable. The signal required by most modern amplifiers is described as being 'LINE' level, which is, in technical terms, between 200 and 500 milli-Volts with a flat frequency response. Unless your amplifier has a specific 'Phono' or Disc input, the level will be too low and the frequency response will be wrong. The OBH-18 is designed to boost the signal and introduce an R.I.A.A. frequency response characteristic.

The Rega Fono is a high quality discrete component phono mm preamplifier.

Works with all Rega mm cartridges as well as with many other manufacturers cartridges.

Like the Ear, the new Fono benefits from an all new extruded aluminium case and new styling giving it more of a family feel, to match its illustrious big brothers.

The Fono simply connects to the line input on the amplifier, and the tonearm leads and earth (if used) to the input socket and earth terminal of the Fono back panel.

The new Fono MM is a moving magnet disc stage which has been designed to be effective, easy to use and above all reproduce music. The new surface mount board layout has been optimised to work with the latest generation of RP turntables.

This compact design now housed in a our new style case to aesthetically match Brio-R, Apollo-R and the DAC offers performance way beyond that expected at this price point and makes an excellent addition to any vinyl based system.
