FS: Luxman Valve Phono Stage & Luxman Step Up Transformers

[hermit]

The items for sale are all in perfect working order and very nice cosmetic condition. Only selling as I have bought an Aurorasound Vida. I was shocked how close this Luxman gear came in terms of performance to the Vida. Really very little between them.

Luxman EQ-88 Valve Phono Stage (MM only) complete with OPEQ-88 power supply and umbilical - £895 plus postage.

I bought this as New Old Stock in November 2017. I have the original Luxman boxes for both the phono stage and the power supply. Supplied with a trio of brand new JJ ECC83S valves.

I lusted and actively hunted one of those suts for a long time but never found one. I no longer need one and one pops up!

Bloody typical.

Fantastic sut.
