Luxman's famous amplifier, the SQ38FDmkⅡ, is the successor to the SQ38FD. The SQ38FD is a renowned amplifier, synonymous with Luxman, and this amplifier has been refined in various ways as a minor change from its predecessor. Specifically, the voltage of the power transformer has been slightly reduced, and the winding of the output transformer has been strengthened to extend the overall lifespan of the amplifier. Capacitors have also been upgraded, replacing oil capacitors with film capacitors. The knobs have been changed to a bronze finish for a more luxurious feel, and other fine details have been polished. The list price seems to have increased accordingly, but those who understand the product's value would expect as much. I have been maintaining this unit with the intention of keeping it, and I have completed some of the work. Specifically, I have replaced all the capacitors and bias volume in the main section. I have also restored the main volume contacts as much as possible. The 50CA10 tubes are dead stock, said to be almost new (although they didn't have the NEC logo). The EF86 tubes are new Russian-made, and the 6AQ8 tubes are high-quality Matsushita. The 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes are either new, unnamed bulk items or used, good-condition Matsushita tubes. In addition, the wooden frame and panel have been repainted, and the original teak-toned wood chassis adds to the amplifier's understated elegance. The drawback is the unavoidable scratchiness, especially in the rear sub-volume, which causes the sound from the left and right channels to drift when the volume is turned down. I believe this can be fixed by replacing it, but I have decided to sell it as is for now. If it doesn't sell and I end up keeping it, I plan to withdraw it and repair it. It's a masterpiece that I've grown very fond of. https://youtu.be/ei1bQmCdvk8?si=_lkHHKnpGhC7FKAy As this is a private sale, please refrain from after-sales support or detailed inquiries.
