{"product_id":"luxman-cl-38uc-tube-preamplifier-mm-mc-phono","title":"Luxman CL-38uC Tube Preamplifier; MM\/MC Phono","description":"The Luxman CL-38uC is a tube control preamplifier featuring a built-in MM\/MC phono stage and an all-tube signal path powered by three ECC83S and five ECC82 vacuum tubes. Serves as a sophisticated command center for high-end analog and digital audio systems. It employs a Shunt Regulated Push-Pull circuit topology across all gain stages to deliver uncompromising signal linearity, ultra-low output impedance, and extended valve longevity. The internal phono stage utilizes four independent step-up transformers with selectable high and low impedance settings to extract delicate micro-details from moving coil cartridges. Housed in a classic wooden enclosure, this component features balanced XLR inputs with dedicated transformers, switchable bass and treble tone controls with flexible turnover frequencies, a low-cut filter, and a tone defeat switch.\n\nStereophile named it a Class A Recommended Component, with reviewer Art Dudley calling it an exceptional value. Audio critics praise its natural warmth, three-dimensional soundstage, and lifelike midrange realism. Reviews consistently highlight the ultra-quiet background of its internal phono preamplifier and its effortless, non-fatiguing musicality.\n\nIntegrating this control amplifier into your home setup restores rich analog textures while maintaining complete signal clarity across every input. It offers music lovers a timeless combination of heritage Japanese engineering, refined control, and deeply engaging acoustic realism.","brand":"Luxman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668590592281,"sku":"100425","price":4449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/100425-3.jpg?v=1791319777","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/luxman-cl-38uc-tube-preamplifier-mm-mc-phono","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
