Other Notes: 

"Luxman MQ-88uC: 25W+25W @ 4 & 8 Ohms. This Japan-made vacuum-tube amplifier features a bespoke design centered on organic tonality. Utilizing four JJ Electronic KT-88 output tubes and four Mullard tubes to deliver lush warmth and pellucid clarity. The architecture includes redesigned OY15-type output transformers and stable EI-type power transformers with custom Nichicon capacitors. Each unit undergoes a 48-hour aging process to ensure reliability and a transparent timbre. Housed in a dark brown chassis with a finished aluminum top panel, it offers independent terminals for precise speaker matching and a variable input mode for direct connection, resulting in a sumptuously rich and balanced performance.

Absolute Sound calls it a "musical treasure" and a "nearly perfect introduction to the joys of triode sound." This amplifier is an exquisite marriage of classic aesthetics and high-fidelity performance, providing a transparent, lifelike experience that honors the essence of every recording."
