From 1975 to a New Benchmark with the Luxman CL-1000 Tube Control Amplifier

Luxman’s new flagship control amplifier, the CL-1000 is the spiritual heir to the legendary C-1000, launched in 1975. Yet even as it salutes the past, the new preamp looks forward with an all-new LECUTA volume control system, a nanocrystal core transformer, Luxman’s proprietary oil-impregnated capacitors and more. “The CL-1000 represents everything Luxman knows about vacuum tube audio,” says Jeff Sigmund, president of Luxman America. “It’s not just our newest preamp, it’s our new benchmark.”
